This whole 80% Glock thing and what it's done to the Glock market is intriguing.
-There is a multitude of options for aftermarket slides, barrels, frames, whatever...
-There is a ton of factory Glock parts on the market. It looks like Glock is selling complete top-ends. Many manufacturers don't offer OEM stuff like that. Some do. It appears to me that Glock realizes they can't stop it, so might as well cash in.
-There appears to be a bunch of Factory new and or trade-in Glocks getting parted out. Tons of stripped Glock frames for sale.
I've picked up extra Glock parts here and there over the years; complete slides, frames, etc. etc. Versus in the past, whole guns are cheaper than slides/barrels. Frames are cheap. The Glock 22 was always cheap and still is.
Where do you think this goes? Yeah, it's mostly driven by the 80% market which I think is fantastic. I could see the 80% thing getting crushed by some BS laws/rulings/decrees/etc.
Does Glock eventually get put out of business? At some point the free market may very well offer a better and or cheaper gun.
Interesting times we live. Cheap cheap cheap AR15s. Build your own Glocks. Build your own AR15s.
My evil plan is to buy OEM frames while they're cheap, and then eventually pick up the topends when the market collapses (for whatever reason).
