Re: Colored frame Glocks
I think Glock only makes them in 2 colors now. Black and Flat Dark Earth (FDE). I have one in Olive Drab green from back when that was an option.
Your dealer should be able to order them in both colors, if you don't want to paint them. I picked mine up off GB, but that was years ago.

FDE frame Glocks released today(4/2/2012), it is a distributor exclusive,
models available are gen3 17,19,21, 22 and 23
gen 4 17,19,21,22,and 23
Have you local FFL call Lipseys, they are the distributor that has them, the wholsale price is the same as black, but I'm sure dealers will want a premium.

Yesterday I prepaid for a Gen 3 G19 in FDE. Cost at my dealer was $499. Gen 4's were $50 more. Mine should be here today.

teamr2, where'd ya get the Gen 3 19 in FDE? </div></div>
Use the dealer finder on the Lipsey's website. Find you state and city then just start making phone calls. It seems they are allocating them to dealers so one dealer can't just buy a whole bunch. My dealer only got three (two gen 4's and one gen 3) allocated and they are all sold. Half of the dealers I talked to locally don't even know these are out so I imagine they will only become more difficult to acquire as the word / demand spreads. Good luck!

True. Locally I paid $499 for a Gen 3 and the same FFL had a Gen 4 for $529. The Gen 4's come with 3 mags and the Gen 2's come with two. Two of the dealers I talked too were marking them up to MSPR but I would not pay that for one. You can find them on Gunbroker for way less.

Oh for fucks sake, he was talking about handguns. Please don't falsely accuse the poster of making racial slurs.

Re: Colored frame Glocks
I've seen these in auctions online and wonder why someone would pay up to $100 more for a two tone gun? I prefer mine African American.
