Gen2s are selling for 4-500 new around here.

I heard there was a g17 and g19 version. I'm glad I got the g19 bc it makes the entire package a tad smaller with the shorter grip as well as the ability to accept g19, g17, 33rd, and drum mags. With the g17 version you can't use the g19 mags bc they're too short.

Ouch! $339 plus tax here.

Damn. I can't be too upset bc I don't think a round trip to AZ would have netted me any savings but I was happy to pay $429 + tax. The previous 2 I saw at other FFLs were both listed for $500.
I'm actually waiting for the xdm version to come out since that's my favorite pistol and most plentiful magazine. I doubt I'll have a single issue recouping my money on the used g19 version

Oh XDM is your favorite? Makes sense, you like Glock copies. I see.. Don't worry they won't bother making a version that takes XDM mags since only like 5 or 10 people even own one. LMAO

There coming down, saw a few at the York Gunshow at $400 and Gen 1s at $350. Glock 9mm obviously pricier.

Kel-tec is catching up in production across the board.

Yep, they copied glock and fixed everything I hated about them AND added 2rds of capacity.

I've read from 2 different sources that keltec is planning xdm and m&p versions.

Had it out today again. Put a hundred rounds or so through it, not even a hickup. I hate the cheek weld. You pretty much have to jam your face into the tube to get both sights. Still a riot to shoot.

Mount a bushnell trs25 or primary arms micro with a riser. Best investment you will ever make.

I picked up a pair of 45 degree offset gizmo rail things for $7. Mounted a spare red dot sight. It's like a new rifle now. With a tiny bit of dremel work I think I can get the rifle to snap shut with the scope mounted.

You guys are lucky to have a found a G19 model. All I have seen are G17 which mucks up my plan to run a 9MM conversion barrel in my G23 and use the same mags. :tdown:

They must come in bunches. The one I bought and the 2 I saw listed before as well as the most recent 2 or 3 I saw listed by IPs were all g19 models.

They are.. And xdm rocks..

Only downside.. I don't think we will ever see 33 round sticks of xdm or drums..

I was thinking of a side mounted red dot.... Have not tried yet.

Nope. I just noticed that they were available very recently. Up til now I had only heard of people modding xd9 32rounders to work on an xdm.

It's so close to closing now. The latch pushes rearward but just needs a hair more room to spring back forward.

. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good light/laser to throw on the bottom rail... sub $300.00 ?
