Another plastic slab. (Yeah I own a plastic slab too).
I’m a collector … I own or covet some gorgeous older firearms. The model 92 or M9 beretta will be a classic collectible one day. Will the slabs be collectible? Time will tell.
Yeah...I’ll stick with my 92FS. Plain old, flat out dependable. And sexy looking too.
Gen 1 glocks go for north of a thousand so yes there is snd will be collector values. i have owned some heavy bars of iron, 2 1911s, a ppk, and a para ordinance 1445 lda, none compare to my striker fired FN made (read owners of browning) FNS 40. Slightly more parts and complicated than glock but way better ergonomics with interchangeable back straps and no cursed finger grooves.
If you don’t mind me asking and I know it’s hard to say without even seeing pictures but what would be your opinion of a 1933 Colt model 1911 .45 Argentine government model original grips, finish and magazines (2) in VGC?
I can just hear old guys saying that about the Colt 1911 a hundred years ago.
I doubt that all the "slabs" will become collectible, but some certainly will. Time will tell which ones make the cut.
“Time will tell.”
I’ve never heard of anyone buying one because it was pretty.
Not once.
However, I’m certain no less than 10,000 S&W Model 586 were sold for that very reason.
