Fish gill Glocks

[Honey Badger]

if you know me, you know that I am a fan boy of the Glock.

Are the fish gill Glocks pretty sought after? You never really see them come up sale on OSA or local sites. Besides the serrations I don’t believe there is a single difference in the firearm. Just a weird curiosity question. Thanks.

They are sought after by some who are Glock collectors. I don’t know how many were actually made or why they came up with that idea.

I have a small collection of 17’s. Gen-1 thru 4. One day when I hit the magic combination of having money in my pocket and finding one for the right price at the same time, I’ll add one of those.

If you visit glocktalk you may find more information.

See that’s my deal as well! One of these I’ll have money, a wild hair, and one in front of me for a good price. I think it would be cool to have one. Just for giggles.

My G19 fish gill came with steel sights instead of plastic.

I lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident.

Actually it is.I had a neighbor that lost a lot of nice guns and everything he had in a fire.Since then I keep a few of my favorites in a safety deposit box.

I walked into a LGS back in 2011 looking to buy a FDE XD-9, was sold that morning. Started to order it when they showed me a fish gill G3-17. Loved the grip, bought it.

It was Glocks first attempt at a textured frame. It's like gripping a fine cheese grater. After shipping out the initial run, PD departments across the country complained that the grip was tearing up their seats. Literally cutting/sanding through the upholstery. That's the original RTF frame.

The gen4+ block pattern they made was the approved RTF2 frame.

There weren't a ton of RTF Glocks made. Even fewer have the fishgill slide. if you fall into one, hold on to it. It grips like nothing else.

You can catch fish gill G22 police trade ins from time to time for 300-350. I have had 3 RTF2S and regret parting with my 17 the most. But hey gotta pay them bills.
