My burning questions are these:
1- What model Glock?
2- What was the price you paid + shipping?
3- What is the better price + shipping?
Always consider shipping costs and lead time when buying online.

yep we all need to do our shopping before purchasing. you'd prob be POd if the seller changed his mind after you did the purchase, goes both ways. enjoy it!

so who has the 'cheaper' priced glocks in stock?

buy the 2nd one as a backup, or put an optic on it for something different. never have too many...

Not worth stressing about. Be glad you found a Glock at all. Shoot, reload, repeat, enjoy!

Yep, this reminded me of a situation that occurred with me earlier in the year. I spotted an AR-10 in MDS classifieds. It was a PSA and the seller was asking about what it would cost from PSA, PSA was (is) sold out. I offered him what he was asking and he accepted and we set a meet date. The next day he said he wanted to hold off because of COVID. After months of trying to arrange the meet, the seller finally told me he sold it to someone else. I was pissed to say the least.

I wonder if he really sold it or just didn't want to admit he kept it with all the bs going on.
I think I remember the gun, I inquired as well. Finally decided to build my own ar10 with aero precision parts.

Haha you guys are great.
So I am talking with my real dealer and we are going to validate whether the site Berlusconifirearms.com is a real ffl or not.
Shows as AIM Surplus on google maps in Ohio.

You agreed to a price and basically shook hands with a seller.

Don't be a dick.

On another site I frequent, someone had a g43x listed at 950.

Hmmmmmm

Someone also listed one at 949.99, undercutting their price!

(Yes, I know. La vie, in the time of life, COVID, and. BLMANTIFA)

It has spawned some discussion.

The summer after Connecticut, my 6/7 hundred dollar AR was purchased (with points, but still) for 1249 at bps.

Just so you know, I reached out to my dealer and explained the situation.
We both happy! Thank you all for your input and making me feel better.
I will learn for next time to validate FFL from fflezcheck.com and if its too good to be true, it probably is!

I cant beat the deal I got at Salidas for a Glock 23 Gen 4 Battlefield Green for $550 New.
Go get it, still in stock.

Maryland, for now. One foot out the door

Did you buy it with your credit card?

The credit card company may offer a price match guarantee for 30 days following the sale

It may also exclude firearms from that plan

Also, Im thinking what I got is a good deal because I dont see any Glock 23 Gen 4 for sale as brand new right now.
And I dont see a Glock 23 Gen 5 in the line up?
So hopefully we will have a solid buy with Salida's shop.

Worried about $150? That’s ammo for one range trip these days.
