$8,000 Glock.

Just when you thought they couldn't get any uglier...

Gold inlaid G26.

There are several for auction. My guess is they will collect a LOT of dust before they move at that price.

The seller in my Cheap Glock 22s thread has a couple of those in his shop, for about that price. I think the one is about $9500, the other $8500. They just don't look right to me. I am a shooter, not a collector.

I don't even like the gold inlay on a 1911. In fact, I can't think of any gun I'd like with gold inlay. Unless you need a safe place to keep your gold and melt it down when needed, then you might have some functionality with the whole set up!

Aww sheit. That'll match my gold grill. *bids eleventy million*

Glock would be the LAST gun I would doll up and try to make look pretty. Talk about lipstick on a pig. Looks are probably Glocks weakest selling point.

On second thought, Glock would come right after Hi-Point.

I love glocks. But to me, they are a work horse. Not a beauty piece. Not a fan.

8000 bucks? Are they smoking crack?

Which is the only reason I carry one. They work- even with little maintenance. Other than that it's hard for me to find anything to love.

I'd say $800 is a fairer price. Seriously- a talented person can buy a regular Glock and inlay it himself for about that much. What's really strange is that they did this on a 26, which is already a very niche gun strictly limited to serious work and NOT collectibility.

I wish Glock had a different marketing department. Some of the stuff they've been doing lately is just really embarrassing.

Now don't that beat all not a 45 in the bunch I feel slighted

Not that it justifies the price in any way, but apparently it is very hard to engrave a Glock. I talked to an engraver at a LGS a while back and he said he could engrave anything but a Glock. He said he couldn't even get the right bits to do it. 1911s, XDs, M&Ps, no problem. Something about a Glock's metal hardness made it all but impossible.

I think a Glock is a beautiful tool, but yes, lipstick on a pig.

Are they smoking crack?

Indeed.

I'll make a note to submit this message to Glock in Austria:

That's like putting 18" wheels on a corolla.

Ghetto fab.

I seen a minivan with one spinner on it rollin' through a bad neighborhood (Mountain View) in Anchorage. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I've seen too many accords on 20's with chrome lettering down the side that says "Honda Accord"

The Glock Talo Edition looked real good. I wanted one when they came out.

That one is so simplistic, I actually like it. Jeweled.... barrel? Don't know what to call the the exposed metal part of the ejection port. And the gold glock logo, I like.

You'd have to offer the gold 26 at a discount for me to carry that ugly thing.
