California Glock Prices

I think there is lots of great options but i dont know about inferior

Objectively the trigger and ergonomics are inferior to the M&P and the PDP and 2011’s etc. glock’s big thing was reliability and simplicity however it’s not 1999 anymore
 
As a dealer its hard to not slap the guys doing PPT's on $800+ basic Glocks.
That said I have people overpaying for everything Off Roster under the sun.
 
I fully support you OP, get an Echelon.

I’ve done 4 matches and 1 range session with my Echelon 4.5in (not ported), not a ton of experience but so far it’s amazing.

Trigger could be better, but still miles ahead of a glock trigger and not bad at all.

On top of that it’s also fully ambidextrous. Great to introduce new shooters and lefties or a SHTF/broke my right hand/got shot in my right arm situation…

I am also the seller of a G17 that’s overpriced! 😆
But I mean… it’s offer and demand, there’s no other way to get them and mine is like new, but certainly not advertised for $2k.

You don’t HAVE TO bite the bullet, the choice is yours 100%.

One might open his eyes and consider the Echelon, PDP, P320, M&P etc for the better alternatives that they are.

But if people love simping for a logo and the manufactured brand community around it so much, they shouldn’t come crying about happily getting bent.

Also seriously, they’re tools.

I go based off taste. Isn’t that what people mean when they say pick your flavor?

My eyes are open. Wide.
I absolutely love the feel of that PDP grip. I just purchased a p365 and put a Wilson combat grip on it and it’s luxurious. I might grab one of those steel S&W models just for that nostalgic weight in hand.
My comment about, “common folk”
was in regards to non FFL holders. (And CA resident civilians)
Collecting involves scarcity and willingness to pay for those prices.
Even mini-14’s will come under scrutiny at this pace.
 
Making basic observations on a current situation involving a certain manufacturer doesn’t necessarily make you a, “simp.”
When laws determine the purchasing power of a law abiding citizen, one may raise concerns about market prices and valuations.

Funny enough I did the exact same with my P365!

Yeah, the overall roster and other CA specifics are a pain, I’m on the same page there. As far as Glock though, people have so many other (better) options even in CA, it’s a non-issue.

I definitely, “simped” for a 43x MOS.
Of course right before whatever they are doing on the roster right now. AND paid a premium.

Glock is well aware and was well aware before this came… they’re definitely enjoying this and building up the pressure until their next CA compliant pistol.

With almost all other pistols offering superior features and designs, all Glock has is a brand name and community at this point (I’m talking civilian world, where we as users make the purchase decision 100% independently).

They also know that their upcoming CA compliant versions will be hot poop, and likely inferior to even an original Gen 3.
So all they’re doing rn is building up that pressure. Glock boys are drooling and day-dreaming of an upcoming Gen 6 CA compliant. By the time it comes out, they’ll rush to the stores and get them, no matter what it comes out to be. Even if the thing is terrible, mark my words: they’ll all just convince themselves and even go around telling people about how “it doesn’t even bother them, they just got used to all those safeties very quickly and it doesn’t cause any problem for them… It’s just as good”. Or that “there’s no downsides and this is the best pistol they’ve ever had!” 🤡

So yes it is simping, it’s brand manipulation, Glock knows full well and is playing their only few lousy cards to perfection (no pun intended but it works I guess).

It’s working so well on full grown adult men with low emotional control, it’s concerning.
