Should I sell my old custom Glock 23 set up for a Echelon 4.0C Comp

[mrplumcrazed]

I have an old Glock 23 gen 3 that I've had forever that had custom milling done on the slide by Dynamic Weapon Systems and I have a complete 9 mm ported barrel and slide for the range all are Optics ready and I have red dots on them. I did trigger job and changed a bunch of things over the years and it's a sweet shooter. My wife has told me that I can't get any more handguns unless I sell one. I've been in my local Gun Shop in the last couple of days and saw the echelon 4.0C comp. It's sweet right out of the box and I am truly torn do I get rid of my Old Faithful with the 9mm slide as a range toy and get the echelon. Opinions are certainly welcome.

Maybe I'm just sentimental, but if it's been so good to you and you don't have any problems with it, I would just keep it.

Of course, if you find out you can sell your glock for a good amount, and you can get the cash in time to get the echelon while it's still available, then maybe do a coin flip or something.

Thank you it is a bit sentimental as I built it over time. I am sure by selling off the extra slide with it I could have the funds to get the echelon.

Maybe buy the wife something to get the extra allowance? From what you have said it seems like it would be good to keep the G23

I'm looking for a Glock 23 but don't care about a 9mm conversion.

Loved my Echelon 4.5” comp handgun. It shot amazing right out of the box. With the Glock ban you’re wise to sell it now. You will catch a good price on it.

Trying to sell 2 custom, pristine Glocks for less than I have into them. People just aren't buying right now. Probably trying to pay off Christmas debt.

Seems like this one is your baby. You say your wife says no more until you get rid of one? What else do you have? Possibly something you aren't so attached to?

Im not sure I understand this perspective. AB 1127 bans new sales of Glocks but it specifically cuts out a provision for LEO, Inventory purchased prior to the ban (to July 2026), and PPTs. The last being an category that effectively makes them an off-roster option for civilians. Did I miss something around PPTs?

Private party transfers will still be allowed as I am given to understand.

thats my point.

Section 5 cuts out a provision for PPTs and it doesn't look date sensitive like new sales inventory.

By you saying cuts out, does that mean you're saying that we will not be able to do private party transfers?

Other way round

 

[TheAverageShooter]

If you like the Glock you build, you probably should keep it and figure out another path. Besides there is always room for another handgun, maybe Cupid can give you one for Valentine’s day…..

 

[mrplumcrazed]

Other way round

Agreed. That's what I had understood is that private party transfers would be fine just like we do off roster guns.

Customized guns don't necessarily sell for more than factory guns as a lot of people just want factory condition and aren't willing to pay more for add ons that they don't care about. Customizing a gun might actually decrease its value and make it worth less than a factory gun especially if the customizations are permanent.

Just like cars
