Those are great prices but you have to be a member for a year.
Otherwise, you will pay around $500 or so for a new one, possibly more.
I haven't bought any 9mm ammo for the wife in a while because I started reloading it for her. The last I remember it was around $12-15 for 50... As far as a .22 goes. There are many good ones out there. You can also buy a .22 kit for a glock I believe. Go to a gun range that rents guns and try several out.
A word of advice, if you get a glock, DO NOT put an extended slide lock on it if you are going to use if for self defense. I found out the hard way that was a bad idea and it will be coming off very shortly. I was involved in an incident and I believe I bumped it up causing the slide to lock back. There is no guarantee that the regular one would not have done it but the slimmer profile minimizes the chances of it happening. |
GSSF is a great program and does not cost a lot to join. It also let's anyone buy one Glock a year for LEO discounts with one extra mag included per year per family member. I highly recommend joining now, because they are changing the program in May to limit new enrollees to waiting 6 months to make the discount purchase.
I personally carry the 19 as my primary carry CCW. It is great and I have never had any issue with a jam. I even have the .22 conversion kit for extra practice. I love this gun and now also have a 17, 26 and 34. The best thing about my Glocks is they don't ever jam and are easy to use. My Kimberly and LLama 1911's jam all the time and I don't trust them. ( everyone please don't flame me. This is my personal observation and I agree that the 1911 is a great gun.)
The ammo usually sells at stores about $13.99 -$15 a box. However watch online for great prices. I have bought good ammo for $9.99 - $10.99 a box from Cabellas, Midway and Cheaper than dirt, and always find a sale. here is an example:

I have one other suggestion. For Holsters I would look at Comp-tac.com. I have bought boxes of Holsters over the years and have found these to be the best for me. The MTAC tuck able is great andi carryit primarily in the summeror with suits during the day. The paddle holster with the FBI can't is great for winter carry under a sweater/cover garment and competition shooting. Other than one Uncle Mikesnpocket holster I use for my Glock 26, this is the only foster I use now.
Have fun with the Glocks! PM me with any specific questions.
