Glock 19 LE/Govt

[dsearcy]

I have recently come across a Glock 19 LE/Govt. I'm fairly new to Glocks, but believe it was a Gen 2, or perhaps it could be a first generation. I am told it was acquired new, (when these models were first released in the USA) and is still NIB. Next time I see the gun I will inspect it more closely. On to my questions:

What are the differences between the LE/Govt models and the standard Models? Is a LE/Govt model more desireable or less desireable and why? Are these models valued at more or less than the standard models?

Thanks in advance for the info.

There is no difference. Some LE guns will have department roll marks that is about it.

Same gun that was sold with 3 magazines instead of two. Who ever purchased it new saved a few bucks and got 3 mags.

Yup. Also, the "LE" models cost a little less too because they are taxed less.

Resale is much better though... people always pay more because it says "for law enforcement only" on it thinking it's somehow better than the other models.... it's not.

unless it has a dept rollmark, I don't believe the guns are marked leo only. At least i have never seen on like the ar's and stuff.

The boxes and labels are marked LE

The basic LE guns are not LE marked; look just like a commercial Glock. Only the mags and boxes of a basic LE Glock will have special markings.

As previously noted, other LE Glocks may have agency markings.

Blue label, 3 mags - that's typically all you see on LEO Glocks, unless a department paid to have the slide etched with the department name.

I've seen it on several AR's. Never seen it on a pistol though.

Thanks everyone for the info. The gun I speak of as LE marks on the mags. I don't know about any other special marks.
