Collectibility & Used Market

Gen 2 Glocks are increasingly popular as vintage collector‚s items because of their simple, clean design and historical significance. Many Gen 2 pistols are former law enforcement duty weapons that have been resold on the civilian market as surplus. On platforms like Guns, used Glock 17 Gen 2s generally range between $500 and $600 depending on their condition and the inclusion of original boxes or accessories.

Performance & Upkeep

Enthusiasts and reviewers on platforms like Reddit r/Glocks broadly agree that these pistols have excellent factory triggers that break in well over time. Because they lack modern upgrades like modular backstraps or optic cuts, they are often purchased by purists who enjoy the simplistic, no-frills operating system of early-era Glocks. If you are purchasing a heavily used surplus model, it is highly recommended to check the internal springs and consider replacing the recoil spring assembly to ensure flawless function
