I've applied for my permits, and I'm starting to look around for my first purchase: a Glock 19. It seems they're out of stock everywhere, and I have email notifications set up for at least 5 online stores.

 

Since this is my first purchase, I'm not sure if 'out of stock' is the norm for Glocks or if this just the result of a current surge in demand for guns (or both).

 

For those more knowledgeable - How often does Glock release shipments of the G19? Do they stay in stock very long? Long enough to purchase within 90 days?

 

I have experience with the G19 so I prefer to purchase what I am comfortable with.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

They are gone because if the AWB goes thru, the 15round mag limit will be no more unless you already have one.

 

Great gun, btw. I recommend them highly.

I think that under normal circumstances (let's say anytime before mid dec) they were in stock at most online retailers and a lot of local retailers as well. You might have had to look for a particular variation if you wanted installed night sights, or an fde/od frame, but they were certainly available in the blk frame/no night sights most places.

 

Keep an eye on the wts section, put a request in with the forum vendors, and post a wtb ad. You will find one sooner than later.

I talked to GLOCK today. They are behind 500k units.

You may have to call around local stores. You still see some around. Not sure about the model, though.

I can probably kiss that dream goodbye.

 

I have a brand new CZ 452 Varmint in .22LR, Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12x AO, Burris Signature Zee Rings, JNP 11mm-Weaver adapters, barrel lug, silicone sock, and case... Brand new, never fired. Maybe someone will be interested in a trade. Does the forum store take PayPal? I need to donate for access to the B/S/T section.

Seriously, call around. You never know what somebody may have on the shelf.

Try Chyannes Mountain Outfitters. I was there last week and they had a few Glocks in stock. Not sure if they had a 19. They had a Gen 4 26.

I tracked down a 19c. Should I go for it?

19C is the compensated version. There are two gas ports on the top of the slide. I know they get very hot after firming a few rounds. Depends what you want to use it for. Home defense get the 19. Target shooting the 19c might not be bad.

Compensated is great for daylight, but be aware that it puts off a very bright flash through those ports, right in your field of vision, when used in a low light situation.

Yeah, this will be home defense pistol. (I no longer feel that my shotgun is a wise choice due to size). I'd rather not have a blinding flash in my face at nighttime. Anyways I'l keep looking.

Go for it, if you decide you don't like it compensated just buy a non compensated barrel for it.

Keep looking, there are tons in NJ avail

Saw one today in Flemington at sportsman...on rt 31. $5something.

I've been in the same boat as you looking for a 19 for about 5 weeks, nobody has any ideas when they will get them in. the only one I found was the 19c which I wasn't a big fan of. My father is a FFL in new York with a small store,Thursday this 80 yr guy comes in with a brand new Glock 19 3rd gen never fired with 5 10 round mags. Happy days are here again! Now the problem is 9mm ammo:-)

I have a glock 17 9mm coming this week

 

East Brunswick Sportsman has 1 Gen 4 G19 in stock.

Bought one this morning at Shore Shot in Lakewood. Gen 3. $550. The guy there said he had 3 more. Call first, but If you are ready to buy today might be the day.
