Picked up a new Glock

[absrio]

I picked up a new Glock 24 today. Has a nice born on date of 12/8/08 in Austria. I paid more than I like to for a Glock, but the 24's new don't come up to often. Not sure when I will get around to shooting it but I do like the factory 4.5lb trigger. Now I just need to get a 23 and a 35 and I can round out the 40s&w collection.

Am I confused? What's a 24?

 

[45calibre]

which one is the 24?

 

[rmcrob]

Oh, I see it's the 22 but longer. Right? I've never seen one?

The 17L and 24 were the first Glock longslides. They have 6" barrels, and as such are too long to fit in the dimensional "box" used for some US shooting games, so Glock eventually came out with the similar (but shorter) G34 and 35.

Yep its the 40s&w 6" barrel. From what I have read they will make about 500-1000 17L and 24's this year.

Why wouldn't Glock have it listed?

 

[HICKMAN]

Glock doesn't list a lot of them for some reason. Isn't there a 21SF out now too?

Glock doesn't list a lot of them for some reason.

Glock's US website doesn't list the 17L or 24/24C because they are of limited availability here (as a previous poster stated, only one run a year of 500 to 1000 pistols).

Isn't there a 21SF out now too?

Yes, as well as a 30SF, 20/29SF, and the G22RTF. All of those have been introduced since Glock last updated its webpage an eternity ago (2006, by the look of it). It took them literally years to even get up what they've got, so don't hold your breath for updates.

Well no one else said it yet, Congrats on the new gun! Glocks are amazing and I'm sure she'll perform beautifully for you!

Did you do the white lettering on the slide in your avatar pic? That looks GREAT!

 

[jforrest]

Thanks! Yea I did it, white crayola crayon and some elbow grease! I shot 110 rounds a few days ago and it still looks exactly the same too.

 

[Hobie8]

CRAYON? OMFG LOL! Wonder if there's anything out there more permanent? Your 19 looks looks slicker than snot on a doorknob!

 

[swatdoc]

Nice pics, Absrio, but you should get another set with all that brass fired! That would be much cooler.

 

[jforrest]

Haha yea, it has to be Crayola crayon though, not the cheep china stuff. And there are more permanent options, a lot of people use a Lac-Stick, I don't remember the link but its around on this site. You can also use paint or even nail polish.

The Glock 24 is very nice. I have owned both the 17L and the 24. I wish I had never sold them

I have decided to get rid of a couple guns so today while picking up some uniforms in Indy I stopped by Steven R Jenkins and walked out with a new Glock 19 & 26. I am gonna start to carry the 9mm when i desire to have more rounds with me. No pictures till I get my camara back. Gotta love 2 Glock's for $800.

Sad part was while I was there a gentlman traded in his Glock 36 for $275. I offered $300 to the salesman but recieved a quick "no."
