    Default Buying a used Glock...what to look for?

    I am looking at possibly add a used Glock 21 to my collection and was looking for advice on what to look for as signs of excessive wear or neglect.

    Thanks for the help.

    Just make sure it doesn't have any rust. You can also look at the barrel's rifling. New springs and a firing pin aren't expensive. I doubt you would need to worry about those problems unless it has over 10k rounds through it.

    As mentioned before, replacement parts are very cheap and readily available. You can usually get them cheaper when they have holster wear or nicks and scratches. It's a glock so it will be ugly with or without holster wear

    Check frame for cracks especially around the lock block and rail inserts
