Is this Glock made of unobtanium?

I guess I have destroyed the collector value of my very early Glock 19 by putting on Heinie sights and feeding the plastic sights to wood chipper. I am so disheartened.

It's not too late to cash in though. There are still a fair amount of those rare sights around for restorers to re-build retirement fund guns.

Wait.... You haven't 'stippled' yours out of contention for the big payday.... have you?

Speaking of which - what EVER did I do with my original guide rod when I put the laser in? Someday, someone's gonna be on a Glock site bemoaning that I had 'ruined' the "collector's value".

I talked to the dealer that is selling it He got an FFL from the buyer and a MO in being sent.

It'd be interesting to see if this transaction is fully followed through and if so - what's the score on that obscene number?
Aside from potential shilling - which is OH SO common in all forms of auctioning anymore - it took at least two 'bidders' to get that number up there.

So - if this is all above board - at least TWO folk thought this was worth that kind of money along with buyer's premium and mail/shipping costs plus whatever the transfer FFL might charge.

Talked with a fellow last week who accidentally shot a hole in the kitchen floor. I mentioned before being almost shot by an accidental Glock discharge and other Glock accidental discharges. Wonder how many don’t go reported. People tell me all the time what a great gun it is. There are safer designs, but each to their own $3,000 gun.

A close and personal friend of mine got Glocked by his own side-arm. In a tussle with a street miscreant, the fella got behind him and went for his gun, the 2nd Cop was something of a 3rd-Responder and when my pal was faced with turning and squaring off or keeping the turd from pulling his gun... he reflexively forced the pistol back to the holster and the street-turd's finger was on the trigger. Buy MALO!

Took over a year to recover from the course that bullet took down his leg.
