Explain how this is a "good buy"

I probably qualify as a Glock "fan-boy" got several of them, but come on guys (and girls) I know there is a general panic about guns right now but this is stupidity.

I can buy a new Glock 19 for less than this $425... why would anybody pony up this amount for a Gen1 thru 3 slide? Is it just to avoid a serial number?

It hasn't gotten silly yet. During Obdumbells first term I sold a few AK47's I paid less than 300 bux each for at 1200-1600 each. Then I watched them go even higher after I sold mine.

Brings to mind a old saying from my mother, and her mother before that: (Probably originated in the King James Proverbs 21:20) "A fool and his money are soon parted"..
My grandfather (born in 1888) used to say "if there were no turkeys, there would be nothing to pluck, chickens are not worth the effort").

This china virus thing has people all worked up. Nothing drives up gun prices like fear. It feeds on itself. It starts getting harder to find certain guns then people get afraid they won't be able to get them. I have watched this happen with guns and ammo prices at least four times now. The first one was when they instituted the "assault weapons" ban in 1994. It got so silly that I sold a Colt AR15 I had paid 550 dollars for at 2500 dollars. It was an H-Bar model. Had the bayonet lug and everything. 2500 dollars in 1994 was one heck of a lot of money. I regretted selling it a couple times over the next 10 years but was comforted by how much I got for it.

Yea, $425 is a tad bit overboard. At $275 I would be in, but that would be my ceiling. Not much more for a new Glock.

Yeah at 425, that slide should be milled and cerakoted.

Serial is on the frame, not slide but yes, lots of people would pony up that much to avoid a serial number.

I've never shot a glock or anything lone wolf but I have read that the LW stuff is good- perhaps better than the OEM glock... so a complete slide, barrel and all the innards may well be worth that price, may shoot better than a stock glock. ?

It's a stainless steel slide with Lone Wolf parts, that doesn't seem out of line for what it is. It's certainly not Cheaper Than Dirt pricing .

That's about the going rate for the Gucci Glock slides.

[ammoboy2]

I would not call Lone Wolf as Gucci, more like bottom basement.

[SQLGeek]

Well that's certainly an opinion if not a bad one.

The point is it's an aftermarket stainless slide with worked over internals. The price is inline with that.
