    This is CA, including the course and all the bells and whistles. My glock was 1k alone. We’re limited to the gen3 glock due to the California roster, and it’s still expensive (mostly paperwork).

    Edit: My bad, I also included ccw in my head.

      I just moved from CA, and yeah CCW adds a lot (if you even live somewhere you can realistically get one). $1k for a Glock is crazy town, man. Even at the beginning of covid they weren’t that much.

        Nah, for sure. I believe it was about $500 originally, but after shipping, taxes, background check, other fees, etc… about 1k. Half the price was paperwork. That was about 8 years ago? I’m not sure if the gen3 became more available. I know the shield is pretty cheap.

        I hope you enjoy your move!

          Thanks! Moved for family reasons, and very much miss California. It’s not without benefits though, at least when it comes to firearms. I can mail order ammo without any kind of license, and I can 3d print my own guns if I so choose. Nice that this state also recognizes my CA CCW.
