Better off as a set in my opinion but not sure what the market is for 2 old glocks.

Rumors say there were maybe 50 -200 Gen 1s built.
They are really sought after in the US as collector items.
If they are true Gen 1s with the prohib barrel length, your prospective market will be quite limited here in Canada.

There is a lot more than 50 Gen1 . Saw one today lol
They are true Gen1 with prohibited barrel but I can get new 19 barrels in it.

You sure they are Gen 1s? The Gen 1s have no checkering on the front and back strap. I took a quick look at a US forum and they aren’t even sure how many were ever made. The numbers varied from 6-200.
Gen 2s are quite common.
Changing out the barrels will negate any collector value on these guns in Canada.

If you have 12(6), and you really need a pair of Gen 1 G19s, then definitely get the prohib barrel. You can always switch them out when you sell it and get them reclassified as restricted.
I would assume an after market or Gen 3-5 barrel works in a Gen1? Really no idea.
I think $900- $1200 for the pair is a really fair price since they are prohibs.

. I can get them without barrels for 800 lol

Didn’t want to take picture since I didn’t buy them yet. Don’t usually ask prohibited owner about picture since sometime they aren’t into picture of their collection. He had an 25 year anniversary Glock 17, an glock practice pistol G22P, G36, SF stuff,RTF, compensated and like All the special ones as well.

Then there really is no real collector value to the guns. Novelty, yes, but collector, no.
Assuming Gen 3-5 or after market barrels fit the Gen 1, your cost would still be around $1200 for the pair. You can find used Gen 3s for around $600 and know there will be no issues with fit and function. In the end, it’s your call. It’s a Glock, not a Manurhin or Korth.

It’s a good first world problem to have! You have to weigh the collector value of the Gen1 17 vs. the improvements of the later guns.
If the prices are similar ( due to perceived collectibility), I would still get the later Gens. If you get the 17 for under $500, then go for it!
Were you referring to me about owning a Gen 1? No, I don’t have one but I do have a full Gen2 19.

The 12(6) Class barrel length issue is just dumb. A 5” 1911 is easier to conceal than a 2.5” M29. It’s just slow confiscation and will get rid of a lot of “scary” guns without compensation in 30-40 yrs.
My next door neighbor is a great guy and a good friend,, I would say a great friend, but he sold his gen 1 17 that he had never shot to our local gun store for $400 and told me about it the next day
If he had mentioned it to me AT ALL, I would have owned a gen 1 lol
His exact statement was " Hey, you like Glocks don't you? I had one I bought in the 80's,,, never shot it, they gave me $400for it!"
He was quite happy with the $400 lol
