Glock 20 gen4 re-built ?

[sstewart]

I have an opportunity to get a re-built model 20 from a local dealer for about $100 less than a regular model 20. 

Should I save the hundred dollars or should I go with the NIB version.

I'd always go for the NIB

Given the unsolved by Glock FTF issues with Gen4 G20 and full power (and up) ammo, if you intend to shoot that, a warranty supported pistol would be the best option (not that they'll be able to solve your issue, but at least you could get a presumably new Gen3/Gen3SF from them as a replacement if you are an unlucky Gen4 owner).

They are already rebuilding Gen 4's?

Interesting.

I wonder what was wrong with it that it had to be "rebuilt?"

[sstewart]

Looks like the consensus is the new one.
In all fairness there could be nothing wrong with it. Really anytime a new product is returned to the manufacturer they cannot re-sell as new.
Could be just was a dealer return. Or I could have lots of things wrong with it and the customer returned it and had it replaced. Glock fixes it up and sells it  as a rebuilt.

If you're seriously interested in it, tell the dealer you want to test-fire the gun with real 10mm ammo (at least 1 15-rd mag worth) to see if "rebuliding" it corrected any issues.

That's how I handle the issue at my LGS with any sort of "pre-owned" handgun that interests me. Since I'm known as a long-time regular there, my dealer has no problem letting me doing some test-driving, often to include a full 50-rd box of factory ammo (that I've paid for)

If your local dealer-dude sez "No way," be prepared to walk.

I would just go with the brand new option. Only time I will buy used if its something rare and its hard to get my hands on one.

Why are they calling it "rebuilt"? What did they 'rebuild'?  To my knowledge, Glock doesn't do rebuilds. I would ask some more questions, then see if they will try it out; I'd do 50 rounds of 'real' ammo, then make a decision.

I've got questions about a dealer selling 'rebuilt' Glocks.

JMHO....

[sstewart]

Thats what dealer called it, I would call it re-furb. (A human looked and it and function tested it)
Anyway, I have abandoned this idea and purchased a 40 MOS.

[Dave84]

What did you end up paying for it?

[sstewart]

650 plus sales tax.
from small dealer working from home office

[Dave84]

Not bad at all.
