Glock 21 dilema
So I'm sorta in dilema....or am having a hard time deciding on what to do here, would be a better way to put it. With our recent vet bills, having to pay in on our tax return, and a small furnace bill, I have decided it best to sell a few items that I don't "NEED."
I have a Glock 21SF pistol(I'm keeping that) with a ton of extras and I can't decide what to keep. Basically, I want to stick with the factory set-up and a 2nd hunting option. So I would like to keep at least 1 of these other options:
1. .45 ACP 6" KKM extended barrel
2. .40 Super 6" barrel, mags, ammo, dies, brass, bullets
3. Glock 20 longslide made by Lonewolf that will work on my G21 lower
3a. 10mm 6" KKM barrel and factory ammo
3b. 9mm 6" conversion barrel and guide rod assembly
3c. .40 S&W 6" conversion barrel
The plus to option #1, is that I have a ton of mags and ammo already for the .45 and wouldn't need anything other than maybe a heavier recoil spring, to shoot the real heavy cast loads for hunting.
Option 2 gives me a really neat caliber, I have plenty of brass, but it's an odd caliber, has substantial recoil, and has no use outside of hunting or being a fun range discussion piece.
Option 3 and the sub options give me multiple calibers to choose from. I could keep one, or 2, but I then have to keep the spare slide and 10mm magazines for them to feed correctly.
What say you guys?

Keep the 21 and eat beans and rice to save $$$. The G21, the same as I have, is an AWESOME gun. Sell your car first if you must sell. 0 -
I've learned that if it isn't junk you'll regret selling it.
From more practical standpoint I would say that it's best to keep whatever option is the hardest to sell or has the worst resale value, I would assume this is option 2.0 -
Only sell what you know you would not spend money on to replace later. If you wouldn't replace it, it is okay to sell.
Do you hunt with it? If so keep that set up.
Really I thought the title to the thread was the thread.[;)]0 -
I sold my wife off once instead of my guns. Worked really well because they ended up having to pay me again to take her back. [:D]
We sold the kids off a couple times and then moved out of state but that didn't work out very well 'cause they kept finding their way home. [:D]0 -
1) do you have anything of value that you could use for collateral to take out a loan on? I'm not talking about a pawn shop that you have to pay extremely high interest on. If so, do that and pay it off as quick as you can
2) How's your credit and debt ratio?? If not bad, get another credit card and use it to pay what you need to, but paynot off as quick as you can.
3) do you have enough equity in your house to take out a second mortgage, if so take out what you need as a loan, and again pay it off as quick as you can.with this option, you'll get tax credits too
4) refinance your home and consolidate all your bills with it. And I p.m. pay it down as you can. With this option, you'll get the tax credits also0 -
I would have no need or love for anything you have. My guess is that all of it is too specialized to get your money back so I would advise either keeping the stuff if you still like it, or selling off the least liked and least used of your list. 0 -
Sorry, remingtonoaks, but I have to strongly disagree with (3) or (4). To incur the costs of a second mortgage or refinancing simply to save a gun? That would make for a very expensive gun to keep. Plus, with the tax changes for 2018, there will be far fewer people itemizing on their federal returns than years past. There are no tax credits for refinancing. Possible interest deduction, but no tax credits.

Well, I ended up selling the complete Glock 20(upper & barrels) setup for now.
I'm going to keep both the 6" .45 ACP & .40 Super barrels. I figure if I really want to hunt with this pistol, the .40 Super has a huge advantage in that category, but I also want to keep the aftermarket .45 barrel to shoot cast bullets.
