I'm having a hard time deciding what to do, this gun is still for sale and I can get it for $440,,,,,,but my favorite LGS has a used one that looks brand new and was produced about a year or two ago, it has the newer style hinge box and all the stuff and a extra mag with regular sights. They are asking $500 no wiggle room on this price. What do yall think? I'm leaning towards the one at my LGS, it looks better and I know they will back me if there is a problem.

We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.

Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

It sounds like you answered your own question.  Peace of mind alone, is worth $60.  Mags are ~$30-40.  The box.... worth whatever you think it is.  Newer?  Less wear?  Maybe worth something, too.  If you think on it too long, one, or both of your options may walk out the door in someone else's hand.

For only a $60 difference, I would buy the newer one for $500 first.

Then, I would go back and buy the second one for $440...

But, if you were a Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) member, you could buy a brand new G20 for $491 + tax.

I bet the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation does not have lay-a-way  :D Its about the only way I can get guns these days, just a little at a time.

Been there... done that (lay-a-way) before.

It tends to make me appreciate the gun a little bit more.

Around here, $440 is about average. STD frame used go for $400 and larger or less common $450.

I was lucky and grabbed up my G20 for 400 with two mags, adj sites and all orig stuff and tupperware style box.

Good luck with it!

Did you decide?
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

Sounds like a good plan to me!  Let us know how it turns out. :-\
