So just the rounding off for the price in your headline represents the price of a non-gilded Glock. Other than all the plastic, looks like a well-engraved and inlaid firearm. Of course, other than the plastic, it would not be a Glock. That’s $10,500 for a Glock, from the website, not just $10,000.

Even owning many others, I love that gun because it's so simple and reliable. I love my 1911 as well. But the engineering blood flows too thickly in my veins to not have a strong soft spot for Glocks. Now, with that put out there, I have just this to say about that auction. Why????? Gold inlay on a glock is about the same as putting gold inlay on a claw hammer or on a compound miter saw. Glocks may be simple and reliable, but they're also ugly as sin. Adding gold inlay doesn't change this at all. There are hundreds of models of firearms that are beautiful, and gold inlay on any of those would make sense, if you're the type to leave a gun in a display case. But a Glock?? My brain will be reeling at this one for a while. The first gun I ever bought was a Glock 26. Even owning many others, I love that gun because it’s so simple and reliable. I love my 1911 as well.

Something just doesn't feel right about having a plastic pistol in a glass-top display case. I mean, if it were a nice engraved 1911, or super rare S&W revolver...sure. But a plastic, mass produced brick? ^ bingo.
