Private Gun Sale

[wdvorak]

I just moved from NY, and NH is wonderful. 

I am looking to buy a gun from a private citizen (I am 19, and cannot legally buy from a dealer).  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to find private citizens looking to sell?

The gun I'm looking to buy is a Glock model 19.

www.northeastshooters.com has a forum where people post guns for sale. Though it's almost all Marxachusetts, on occasion a NH gun will be posted. Like this SIG P239, which, unless you're some weird Glock fan, you'll probably like a whole lot better. The best thing you can do, though, is just to ask around here and other NH freedom oriented forums.

I have a Glock model 30 that I'm considering selling.  It has both the factory barrel and an aftermarket  stainless steel ported barrel, 2 10 round magazines, and 2 older 15 round magazines.  I installed an aftermarket internal lock that uses a handcuff key, and have a Predator IWB holster and a Fobus Roto-holster, as well as some Glock magazine holsters.  I installed a front night sight, and have a rear night sight that I haven't installed yet because I don't have the right tool for it.  If you are interested in the gun and/or accessories, make me an offer, and I'll think about it.

Why did you install the internal lock?

I don't remember why I installed the lock, but it could have had something to do with the fact that I have kids.  I think that I may have installed it because I like tinkering with guns and wanted to evaluate it as an accessory.  It was a pain to install.  I had to replace a spring because one went flying while I was installing the lock.  The nice thing about it is that it is inobtrusive, doesn't stick out, and allows you to lock it if you want to, or not lock it if you don't want to.

I haven't seen one of these locks.  Do they lock themselves while you are shooting, the way some Smith & Wesson revolvers do?

What sort of tool are you looking for to install the rear sight?  Just the regular Glock sight pusher?  Take the sight and slide, at least, to the range in Manchester and ask them to put it on for you.  It might cost a few bucks, might be free (probably free).  You might want to call first to make sure the Glock sight pusher hasn't been taken offsite for the day.

This lock does not lock itself.  It is locked and unlocked with a handcuff key.  You can tell if it is locked or unlocked by looking at the back of the slide.  If the red dot is showing, it is unlocked.  If the white dot is showing, it is locked.  It is called the "Ghost Block Locking System For Glock Pistols"
Here is a picture of the lock before it is installed in the slide:

They are sold here:

The large Glock sight pusher is the tool that I would need.  I've never been to the range in Manchester, though I should probably visit the next time I'm in town.

Who does their marketing?  Wouldn't the Ghost Lock Block for Glocks be better? Or Glock lock ghost block or you get the idea.

As an alternative for adding additional internal parts to a tool often intended to be used in an emergyncy situation, may I suggest something similar to the "Gun Vault" quick-open combination lock-box?

In general, internal locks, as GraniteForge alluded to, add needlessly to the complexity of a firearm, and should the parts behave in an unexpected manner, you're left holding a poor excuse for a club during the emergency.
