So I went to buy a Glock 23 today (40 cal.) sold the fuck out. Talked to three separate gun shops. Glock is hopelessly backordered and they don't know when the orders will be filled.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
One shop told me that Glock informed them they are 200,000 units backordered and the wholesalers are laughing at the dealers when they ask for inventory.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
They won't even take a deposit or put me on a waitlist.
Now I know I can get a Sig 226 but I kinda like the glock.
Funny part is I found one in stock at a local store but then proceed to ask a bunch of questions. So the shopkeeper, in his best russian accent, told me to go the shooting range and give it a try. Being so busy it took me a couple days until I can get to the range and it turns it the thing is perfect for my hand.
So I go back and Voila, its gone. This is when I found out they were backordered.
I guess I will start calling around.
Now there is one of those big guns shows coming in two weeks. What are the chances of finding one there?
