Buying my first Gun

[Wrangler98]

Hey,

I'm looking to buy my first gun, a Glock 17 used. My price range is around $400 dollars. I don't wanna get ripped off. Any suggestions on where to look. Thanks

Cheers

$400 isn't much of a budget if a glock 17 is what your after. You might find a beat up gen 2 or 3 for $550 or so. Try the ee or one of the site sponsors. I think Ellwood eps might have a few g22 in the $500-$600 range if you don't mind a 40s&w, but they won't be pretty.

Good luck finding a g17 for $400. This isn't america. The cheapest you might find is around $600-650 range. The g22 can sometimes be had for $550 but that's 40cal. Get permission to access the equipment exchange forum and see for yourself.

if you get it for 400.00 you wouldnt be the one getting ripped off lol

Agree with everyone. A clone of some kind. Maybe a girsan or norinco can be had in that range.

Norinco makes some nice clones. Check them out.

I bought a gen 4 glock 17, 100 rds through it with 3 mags and a double pistol hard case from a guy on the bargain hunter for $450. There are great deals out there but they are few and far between.
Up your budget to $500 and wait for an M&P range kit on the EE.

I picked up an M&P in 9mm for $450 it was barely used but had no mags.

I agree with most people here when they say to up your budget to at least $500. You can get a Ruger SR9 $520 new free shipping from canam which is basically a glock 17 clone (in fact glock tried to sue ruger over this gun) and I have heard nothing but good things, especially for the price.
