A non-computer savvy buddy of mine has decided he needs a new Glock 17 9mm. I've been tasked with finding him the best deal available. However, being a 1911 man, I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to the Canadian Glock scene as it were.
I did notice that EE prices for used models was at, or over new-retail pricing from what I can remember from overheard conversations and chats at my club with Glock fans. I was thinking they should be retailing in the $600-$650 range, but have seen tons of used models listed for $800 or more.
Incidentally, we're looking for a mail-order friendly gun shop, offering the best pricing available on a stock (I think he might be planning on competing in IDPA or was it IPSC with it, so most after-market mods are a no-go & thus emphasis on stock/new) black G17 9mm. Best source of OEM magazines as well? Recommendations for competition friendly holster?
Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. I had planned on recommending Police Ordnance, but I understand they're no longer offering civilians a discount through that fan-based membership program?
