Did your gun look like the middle pic I posted (smooth texture and small mag release) or the latter with the larger mag release and the aggressive and distinctive texture of the gen 4 in my last pic?
Yes the receipts all stated the same serial number which was for a Gen3 build date Feb 2014.
Glock was VERY concerned how their label could had been tampered with..or even replaced. Long story short Glock USA stated it was impossible for them to mislabel it..
Glock USA headquarters staff in sales and tech support both spoke to me plus the Canadian rep in Toronto. I also spoke to local police who were stated that fraud in this situation would be difficult to prove 100% as an inventory mislabelling even if it had been after being shipped from the factory.
The bottom line is although Glock products are factory sealed by this label it would be impossible to prove the store was the culprit even if they had switched guns on me etc etc, it just shows you there is a huge loophole in the law that someone maybe capitalizing on or could....on an unsuspecting customer...again buyer beware it all depends on how ethical your supply chain and end store is and how diligent a consumer you are , I'm sure this not a one time occurrence.
It's funny how the no return policy can be revoked in lieu of admission of guilt itself...and the retailer imho was not willing to appease me for my time or offer me a replacement which Glock headquarters did. Before I returned the gun to store Glock attempted to contact the manager but he never answered the call. The first thing I asked the manager was if he spoke to Glock and he admitted he was"too busy".
Now I am not stating this to be vindicative I am just stating that dealers etc could get away with this with an excuse and it makes me question if it has happened before. It is a reality check...

Not only I drove 3 hrs I wasted several hours on the phone straightening this out. I don't pay $925 for someone to mismanage a business transaction even if it was a mistake.
I have been in business and know both ends as a client and provider so I know what it's like. I was calm, respectful but direct speaking facts to the store staff not based on just opinion based on info from Glock themselves, so I did my research.
Life is built on relationships and business is the same. I have lots of grace for mistakes which we all make but so many were made and to add dubious facts point that something is amiss, I draw my own conclusion but for those of you who peruse this site and spend your hard earned money, I offered you a little info to decide and maybe save you from similair or worse misfortune . Enuff said and moving on...

you spoke to the police about this....?
I think you may need to get over yourself.
How many people's time have you wasted over something so trivial and easily solved?
Judge not buddy,your judging yourself


holy crap...some people sound like real losers, I sure bet that company wants to see you again, called the police...REALLY?My thoughts exactly. Before getting in touch with the manager (who offered a full refund) you try Glock and the local PoPo to try to ruin their business and or get them charged? I'm pretty sure they won't give a damn if you ever darken their doorway again.
I don't understand why people are riding the OP so hard about this,,,, if I drive home from McDonalds and I missing a cheeseburger I'm pissed ffs, if I drive two hours after paying for a Gen4 and find a Gen3 I'm gonna be fackin furious! Maybe not call the police furious, but sure as fack not happy.
The OP is an odd one. He refuses to answer pointed questions in his post, and even his private message to me he wouldn't tell me who the dealer was only the town/area/municipality. I think what we have here is a weird case of buyers remorse who has latched on a mistake made by the dealer and has chosen to involve just about anyone who will, or has to, listen to him.
There isn't a doubt in my mind the retailer doesn't want to see him again as soon as things are sorted out. What the OP hasn't picked up on is the fact that because of all this drum beating, I won't be dealing with him either!? I don't need the drama entailed with buying or selling from this guy!![]()
