Great topic. I don't have that early of one, but I know many GTers have NIB "AF" series G17s (first prefix imported into US, and several have used "AA" Austrian Army trade-ins. Maybe they'll come along and post some photos.

I wouldn't mind trading my Excellent condition ALxxx pencil barrel for a AA of almost any condition. PM if interested.

I have an AX ### that I acquired in 1986 at the Soldier of Fortune 3 Gun Shoot in Las Vegas. It's been shot very regular since then, for the past 23 years. This is one of the most reliable guns I have ever owned. Up until a year ago, I shot this Glock at least 20K rounds/year which means that it has had at least a half million rounds (500K) shot through it. I've won too many GSSF, IDPA and IPSC Production matches with it to count.

I know that there maybe older models in existence here in the states but the one that I own has been a great example of the gun's dependability.

Thanks,
Bobby Carver

I own an AT, which makes it June 86.

Neat story! Parts that broke along the way? Pictures?

I'd like an AA too.

Well I only have one Glock, G17. Purchased in 1986 or 1987, just had to have one of those plastic guns. This year it became my main carry. Ser. # AS4xx made in June of 1986.

Yesterday, in a private sale, I acquired AF 14x US. It has a GTF coded pencil barrel and came in it's original labeled box with accessories and still has black parts. It's not unfired but it's close. Am I correct in thinking this is one of the first thousand Glocks imported into the US?

***MakeMineA10mm*** · 10-27-2009, 19:14

Yes.

Great find!

Can you share pics?

cmcinc · 10-27-2009, 19:41

Would love to see pics as well. Good find.

Spitzerbullet · 10-28-2009, 15:28

Let me try some pics

Any interest in Selling?

No, thanks. Not unless things really get bad.

TW088 · 10-28-2009, 21:37

I have an AS which I believe makes it a May '86.

den888 · 10-31-2009, 21:57

Nice, early Glock there !!!

I bought a Glock 17 serial number AA223 when they first came out. I believe it was November or December of 1984. I wish I still owned the gun. All the parts including the serial number plate were all black. The gun had the adjustable sights.

mesteve2 · 11-15-2009, 16:28

I sold mine as soon as a newer model came out!

I do not like old guns or old people.

I love my grand kids.

I am not old 69 in July. If I make it.

Ha ha ha Hell bad joke there!
