I bought an NYPD issued Glock 19 Gen 2 a few weeks ago. I carried one just like it on that job, but I sold it years ago. Good gun, but Glocks just weren’t always my thing.
I see a Gen 2 Glock 19 on the auction site billed as NYPD issue. Serial number is 150 away from my old one. Surely the same Academy class. A call to Glock confirmed that. Same ship date as my old gun and both went to the NYPD. I bought it. It’s the closest I’m gonna get to getting my old gun back.
Gun was in good shape, but at 28 years of age and firing a steady diet of Gold Dot +P for qualification and carry, I figured it could use a once over. It needed new night sights anyway, so back to Glock it went.
It arrived on 12/22. They called me on 12/22 to discuss it and I got it back in my hands today, 12/24.
Virtually every internal component was replaced. Springs, extractor, trigger group, slide lock, striker, firing pin, recoil rod, even the striker plate. Shipped back in a factory Glock pistol case. Other than the $16 it cost me to ship it, and the $106 for the new Ameriglo night sights, cost was zero dollars.
Bought mostly for nostalgia. Probably won’t carry it much, but it’s factory fresh and ready for another 30 years. Excellent service, without a doubt.
