And another simple barrel swap, and you can shoot 357Sig.The nice thing about the 40s is a simple barrel swap allows you to shoot 9mm and use the same mags. It's like 2 guns in 1 so it should be double the price.
By the way, switching from 40 to 9mm on a Glock supposedly "requires" changing the extractor too. Although I've heard stories that the 40 extractor works just fine. Not clear what to believe.

I didn't change the extractor and it works great. I'd change it and get new mags if reliability is needed but it hasn't failed me yet after500 rounds. I wouldn't carry it like this but for the range it's fine.

I swore that I would not buy any more new guns after the new 11% tax. I used a Blue Label coupon and got a good deal for California on a G34 but the taxes and fees came out to about 27% extra, which is nuts.
The gun store told me they raised the price on G34’s $175.00 yesterday when the news came in. I think they were close to $800.00 which means about $1000.00 after taxes and fees.
The place was full at opening with a lot of people buying Glocks. Most of the other guns were neutered with mag disconnects , ugly LCI’s and safeties. I think the last non CA feature guns may be the Springfield XD’s.
Looked at the P365 X Macro. Very ugly LCI. The Wilson Combat Grip is preferable but they don’t make them for the CA versions.
Things are added to the roster but what is coming off the roster was better: CZ’s, Gen 3’s.

Something to consider is Glock may still maintain these models on the roster even if they stop producing them, and there are a lot of used gen 3 Glocks out there.

If you've owned 1 Glock, you've owned them all.
The Glock 19 being more popular amongst the Glock users here in my area, I'd choose the Glock 34 myself.

If you do not like the price, do not buy it. You do not need a Glock 34, so if you buy it, it is because you want it and have the money. You do not need it for survival. If someone else likes the price and buys it, they are happy or they wouldn't do it. Supply and demand.
Price gouging is a political term used by people who do not understand economics.

Denying that a thing is worth what another person is willing to pay for it is like denying gravity.

Again, people who do not understand economics. If you want hoarding and reselling to stop, you raise your price. If it is too expensive, you did not need it.

If you're truly worried about someone buying up all the $600 G34s to resell at $1000, you could just set a purchase limit. Between DROS + all the time it takes to do the paperwork and pickup, that would put a kibosh on that real fast.
Look, people understand that the free market compels businesses to try to capture as much of the consumer surplus as possible, especially for goods that are limited. However, don't try to spin it as doing everyone a public service by preventing hording/reselling. Just tell it like it is: that you're in the business of making money, and that you're OK trading customer goodwill for increased profits.
Economists will agree that pricing goods at customer's willingness to pay is the "fairest" pricing model. However, they'll also be quick to point out that consumers perceive the cost-plus model to be fairest, so don't be surprised when customers get upset at a business model where you jack up prices just because you can.

Haha!!Bummer. Either way, I went to the local shop and picked up a 34 yesterday...and a 19, because why not?
All this time I thought I had an RTF2 G22. After I heard about this, I went through my inventory and discovered I only had a G23, G27, & G35. The RTF2 was a G17.
I went and grabbed a Blue Label G22 on Friday, haha!!

My LGS has been offering used LE trade-in G22s for $300 for the past 5-6 years. They practically couldn't give them away. I'm glad I picked up 2, but with P2000s being so reasonably priced recently, I'm thinking about selling some of my Glocks since HK>Glock.

That’s a great price!! I paid $408 for my new one (with 3 mags). Sadly not RTF2.
