Glock Limited Gold Edition

[tuan]

Looks a lot better in person. Saw it at 10-8 tactical.

That's sweet looking! What's the specs vs. the regular G19?

 

[tuan]

From what I saw its just a cosmetic thing. Just looks sweet. I'd buy it but, I don't think I'd ever put a round through it.

I haven't seen anything about a certain amount made or not.

dunno but its more then just the barrel, both sides of the slide has a polish black mirror finish on it too.

With the SN# that would be a nice set to have.

10-8 is a little pricey so that would have something to do with it. But even at $625 that's a pretty nice pistol.

At Jefferson Gun's website they have it priced at $572.00. Regler one for $506.00. According to them MSRP is $680 vs $599.

Only problem is like tuan said, I'd never want to shoot it.

All the has been done to the barrel is "engine turning", which is something you can do yourself with a drill press, jig, some JB bore paste, and a small dremel head. Jacobson engine turns a lot of the hammers/triggers/barrell hoods of the stuff he does by hand - but you need a very, very steady hand to do it without a jig.

In any case, I assure you with a press and a jig, a monkey on a rock could duplicate the look.

In my every so limited and humble experience - the best barrel for a Glock is a Glock factory barrel - if you like the look, just use a factory barrel and go for it... purely cosmetic treatment with a cotton pad and abrasive paste.

Although one can always customize something to his liking, or duplicate a look, there's something nice in my opinion about a factory stock "OEM" pistol, car, whatever. . .

When I see a Glock for sale with a polished slide or custom engraving, etc, I get turned off because in my mind they effed it up. Even if it was done professionally it doesn't sit right in my mind.

Now of course if you just want your Glock to have a certain look then sure it doesn't matter who did what to it.

I've seen one at Jim's Firearms. I went in to get an idea of what was out there and as I passed the Glock counter I stopped, looked at the guy behind the counter and said.... "oh I wanna play with that one!".... unfortunately I can only afford to look, I wouldn't want to shoot it and I can't afford a gun just to look at.

yup. I felt the same way.

Does the term "polishing a turd" occur to anyone else????

Hey, Glocks are good guns; I carried one for a long time. But this strikes me as akin to putting Pirelli tires and expensive aluminum custom rims on a Yugo...

.

Marketing genuises! They know the Glock Zombies will line up and scoop these up and never fire them. I heard they saved money by not even putting firing pins in these guns, since they all will be safe queens!
