Generation 4?
Also, already done.
Geez, you could have made it a real score and made it a GEN4 19 MOS….
Seconded. G17 MOS as second choice.
Longslide MOS models are so last year…
It’s free. Don’t like it, I have a Bernie yard sign for you.
“You’ll take what you get and LIKE it!”
Hmmm, sounds like that sign is coming out of your yard…
Does it matter? Free Glock! I could care less if it’s a Gen 1 with 10,000 rounds on it, no sights and a busted mag, free Glock is still free Glock aka a win!

As a CA resident can it be a gen 3 if one of us win?
A glock…. I guess i can sell it
That’s what I was thinking.
+1.
[YodaVoice]Afraid of the dark side, you are…[/]
“Afraid of the dark SLIDE.”
FIFY
Thass rayciss.
You can get a freekin threaded barrel for those damn things cheaper than anything else except a 1911.
: )
+1 here as well. Glocks are good reliable guns but they just don’t suit me.
I can’t bring myself to sell a piece once it enters the stable. But it could definitely be used for trading stock
I’ll break it in then alternate carry so as to not rub the finish on my current Glock brand GLOCK off, or at least not as quickly.
I was thinking, “Is there a second prize?”
2 Glock 19s
Thass rood.
I figure if I win it, I’ll trade it to my son and get my Makarov back 🙂
I would sell it for sure. Junk.
You know you want to send me that G19.
CA resident. Put up something that’s CA legal. Like a flintlock.
Assault Flintlock:
• Has bayonet lug
• Has the ‘shoulder thing that goes up’
• More than .50cal
I’m boned.
Dang dude. I keep looking at hog hunts near the Bay Area or a bit north. I’ve got my solid copper ammo loaded. But I’m still nervous. I’m afraid to get arrested just for having a bolt rifle…
In CA that’s what’s called a “Sniper Rifle”.
They do call it a sniper rifle, but you left out the part about it being high powered with specially designed baby seeking bullets.
+1 or equivalent cash value of Gen 4 G19 in CA which is about $950
Raises a question. If the winner cannot take possession, is the prize still given out? Maybe to the first person to drive over to AmShoot in celebration of your first date or whatever it was that I can’t find the post of? As long as it’s after regular business hours, I’d be in for that.
I hope you include a 10-round mag for NY!
Nice guy that I am, if you win, I’ll be happy to swap your new full-capacity mags for my Clinton-era 10-rounders on a one-for-one basis.
haha can’t even accept the box in NY with those evil ‘high capacity’ things in there without becoming a felon.
You see how that’s so terribly wrong, don’t you. Somebody in NY let some a-hole f-up a part of my country. I have to contact my state reps to get them to protect me from yours. I’m being taxed because of some piss ant small state’s (D)head is fing up America.
Work on that, hunh? Either way
Oh, you mean something like a rock?
For what it’s worth, the gun pictured is a Gen3 which is Cali-approved.
I’ve got 50 cents says 90% of CA cops couldn’t tell the difference. Most probably also don’t care. And if worse came to worst, you could always claim you found it, didn’t know it was evil.
Sorry, but Newsom is banning them and assault rocks. You can only have pebbles under .22, you must have a license to purchase the pebbles and then you can only purchase 5 pebbles a month.
I’ve never owned a glock, just could never seem to find the money. I’d sure like to win this.
The title of the article should be “Complete TTAG’s Annual Reader Survey and Enter to Win a Free Gun!”. The current title implies that you win the gun for completing the survey. Of course I like that outcome better. Where’s my new gun!?
D’oh! Headline amended.
Too late! Where shall I pick it up?
When is the winner announced? I hate waiting periods.
The contest closes when we have 2k responses. The odds aren’t great but someone has to win and it could be you!
1 in 2000 are way better odds than a lottery ticket
The cost is better, too!
“The contest closes when we have 2k responses. ”
Will you announce when the 2000 responses happen?
(IE, did my entry now make it?)
Go ahead and shut ‘er down RF. I’m pretty sure I’ve already won.
Just completed the it and find it interesting that the survey’s creator apparently thinks there are no hispanic/latino gun owners, as per the choices on the “ethnicity” question. Funny that, considering that the POTG are trying very hard to move beyond the OFWG stereotype.
Damnit, I knew I forgot something. I followed the language on the ATF’s 4473 form and forgot that they spliced out the Hispanic answer into its own question. Added it in now, thanks for the feedback!
No problemo.
There are a few oddities/annoyances in a few questions…
Not the end of the world, Leghorn, just something to grumble about. You know some of us will do that no matter what
My personal favorite was the “carry” question… Open carry wasn’t an option even though the following question asked me if I was for/against OC. whoops?
But are they “white hispanics?”
Only possible if Nick enables multiple answers on that question…
Might need to do that pretty soon. Seems like my generation has decided that miscegenation is a lot of fun if you do it right…
I enter Mutt whenever possible, because that is the truth.
I have always selected “native American” wherever possible, for decades now, encourage all others to do the same. I was born in SC, after it became a state. Therefore … But Foghorn ruined my fun.
But are they “white hispanics?
Only if they shoot some guy in a hoodie.
Hey! I’m some guy in a hoodie!
Damn, beat me to it.
Are they “white hispanic jews” ?
Where’s my new gun? Are Sephardic Jews white???
There’s white jews and then there’s Sammy Davis Jr. Where do sephardic jews fall on that scale?
They’re taller than Sammy.
Larry, that’s a low bar.
A fair number of them are. “Hispanic” is a cultural heritage category, “white” is an ethnic category (and a really vague and broad one at that.)
Charlie Sheen (born Carlos Estevez) is a white Hispanic. Alberto Fujimori, former president of Peru, is an Asian Hispanic. Roberto Clemente was a black Hispanic.
I answered Hispanic because it’s kind of the best fit, eeven though it’s not really accurate. I’m of Brazilian and Japanese ancestry and Brazilians aren’t “Hispanic” in that their culture doesn’t tie back to Spain or Spanish language, and I’m not really Asian either. But of the categories, Hispanic is probably closest.
Under ‘why do you own a handgun’ home defense is an option and concealed carry is an option, but open carry is not an option. Y U NO LIEK OPEN CARRY TTAG?!!
I made a gassy face at one too. The following question was even whether or not I supported OC… THAt was a serious WTF moment
Free gun, hell!!! I won’t look down my nose at it, plus how many cops feel comfortable with glock brand Glocks? Gimmme gimmme!!
There wasn’t an answer for “why do you own a modern rifle” that included possible defense against a tyrannical government and/or complete collapse of society and/or civil war. So I selected “home defense.”
If you think about it, fighting against an unjust state authority would, in fact, fall under home defense.
Homeland defense?
I wanted to make multiple selections:
Defense, target, because I can.
Strongly agree.
I found several of those, but the one I liked best was the type of guns you own, pistols, rifles, shotguns, and “other”? Escuuse me? Would that be cannons? Fighter jets? I want me some “other”!!
My thought exactly
Why do I own a ‘modern rifle’ because I can’t get rounds for a 105, which is lucky for my neighbor with the HilLIARy sign.
Done. Hopefully I’ll be sending you some FFL info in the near future.
A ruger rpr in 6.5 creedmore would be the sweetness. I would trade my left pinky finger for one. And that’s the sinus squeegee. A very important finger I must say
Sinus squeegee? Phuck, I’m glad I wasn’t having a beverage when I read that.
Had to answer “over 60” in the survey. Are you sure I’m not too old and feeble to use such a huge weapon? Hate, hate, hate when I’m in the last age group mentioned in a survey. Would it have killed you to put 60 to 80 and 80 to 100 in the survey. Dang kids these days. You’d think they invented the world instead of showing respect for we who built it for them. Personally, I think nobody under 50 should be allowed anything more than a cap gun! Have a nice day! Horses patoots.
I feel your pain. The only thing good about being over 60 is a gubmint check…he he
The bride and I get *3* gubmitt checks, for more gunz.
And keep that damned kid off my lawn!!
I really ~need~ this Glock 19, because I don’t have enough of them already.
Need multiple selection boxes on questions “where do you shoot?” And “what competitions do you participate in” .
Done. I do not own anything in 9mm so, I need to go out and buy a box for good luck.
I’m 18, am I eligible to win? Would it be possible to have the firearm transferred to my friend instead of me?
Straw purchase! You’re on their radar now.
Lol, i don’t want it to be a straw purchase. I just want to be able to shoot a handgun for the first time.
I’m guessing that you live in PA? If you was closer to the bay area in CA I’d be happy to take you for a range day with sidearms.
I’m from Michigan… I wish I could take you up on that offer.
Anybody in Michigan wanna help a brother out?
How far from the Ohio border are you brother? I’m down by bowling green if you want to take a road trip. es_ist_mir @yahoo if you want to set up a time.
Thank you for offering to take me shooting. I’m about 2 hours from Toledo. I do have friends with handguns. I’ve handled one friends glock 23 and another inherited a 1911. Getting together to go shooting is a just bit tough with work and school schedules.
Macomb County resident. Let me know when a good range day in early March would be, I’ll chec, my schedule.
You ever end up on the left side of the state let me know.
In the event you win I would just ask the staff to send the pistol to “x” FFL and have your dad or mom fill out the 4473 and then hold it for you until you’re of age and transfer it to you at 21 (or however it works in your state. I think pistol ownership varies in certain states.) (or sell it for a couple bucks and put it towards something you really want)
OK, somebody who knows please tell me why that would not still be a straw purchase? Filling out the 4473 to obtain a handgun for someone who cannot himself buy one under the law. I realize it makes perfect sense, and has zero evil intent, but ATF rules do not make sense, it still sounds illegal.
Is a 10/22 modern? Has replaceable magazine (free states get 25 or so but limited to 10 here) I say close enough, and sometimes .22LR ammo is on par with .223 in cost, at least it has been
My favorite .22 is a Browning Semi Auto Rifle, which I believe was introduced in 1907. The design is more than 100 years old, but still plenty “modern.”
Can you change the prize to a Glock 9? I want something less traceable.
I thought that was a Glock 7. Costs more than an airport cop captain makes in a month.
Yippie Yay Kay Ayy Mothertrucker!
Reck’d for “porcelain gun”!
.9mm ghost gun!
Done. So, why should I win the Glock? Because I’m not a delicate snowflake, and I don’t own a Glock!
I have a kid getting out of the Army that is looking for a pistol, I think this will make a great one for him. Good luck to you all…
Well, I did not like the Glock 19 when I rented one and I have another 9mm, but I did like the survey and would take the gun and trade it off if I were so lucky to win it. Would I be one of those illegal dealers if I did not shoot it before trading it/sarc?
Per the law, your allowed to trade to better your personal collection! ***goes through cut and paste files***
“18 U.S. Code § 921 (a)(21)(C) defines “engaged in the business” as:
“a person who devotes time, attention, and labor to dealing in firearms as a regular course of trade or business with the principal objective of livelihood and profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms, but such term shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms”
FYI: If you do give me that G19, you’ll save me the trouble of buying one myself and my “next gun purchase” answer might change a bit…
I mean, considering pretty much all of the Glocks are roughly the same price (unless you get a sexy Grey Frame)(Humble Brag), can I switch out that 19 for a 29?
My 20 needs some company on my nightstand…
From one “nightstand G20” owner to another (I give free demos at 2AM–no appointment necessary, just drop in):
With the shorter barrel on the 29, it’s pointless. You might as well be shooting 40.
Unless you like watching your money turn into muzzle fireballs.
What time today did you reach the 2000 mark?
Great idea. My only gripe is that you only have two options for concealed carry? Very surprised that you would limit the choices (sometimes people choose to arm themselves with more than one gun too). It happens–though most would just choose to carry more ammo.
I’m with you, while I know in theory it’s not good to switch pistols too often, I habitually carry a .380 body guard AND either a Glock 19 OR a .45 1911. Makes that caliber question a little hard to answer.
There’s a space to write in another caliber.
I wrote in 3! Same as above, If I am open carrying it’s safe to assume I have a .380 concealed. I also have 9mm and 40 depending on which gun I grab that day (again same manual of arms)
I got all excited then I realized what my chances of winning probably are. :p Still I always fill this out anyway. So here’s hoping at least my data is useful.
Why no Mutt category under Ethnicity?
Done, but, ewww, a G19. I’ll take it though, and sell it. It’ll get me half way to a M11-A1.
I would love the Glock 19! Would become my new CC.
I’d take it. Sell my SR9, get another 19 and my wife and I could have matching handguns
I want me some free gun.
I’d be more than delighted to win a G19, of any generation. As it is, I carry a Smith&Wesson M&P40 compact in a Ken Null OWB holster, and have been very satisfied with it. So much so, that…you guessed it, I want to get a G19 and have him make me an OWB rig/mag carriers for it too!
What’s the best option for a 3.5# trigger (or thereabouts) on a G19 at a reasonable price ($50 tops)?
Tom
A Glock…..well….I could use a “truck” gun?.
Hit 2000 yet?
On one hand, I don’t have a Glock yet, and my CZ could use a mate.
On the other hand, if I get a Glock, I’ll also have to get a matching Sub-2000 gen2 next. And that’s another $500.
Choices, choices…
CA resident here. Be gratefull, you have those choices.
I had some opportunities to choose where I would be in US, since I came here as an adult, and my location is largely driven by job prospects – and there are plenty all over the country. This sort of thing is one of the numerous reasons why I don’t even consider any job offers from CA (and NY, and most of East Coast, really).
Dang some of you people would complain if you were hung with a new rope!
It’s itchy.
Are you doing multiple entries guys???
G19 is one fine piece.
I’ll buy that for a dollar!
Long time reader, read every day, Glock Please?
Screw everyone whining about free stuff. The G19 is a great, proven gun and I’d love to have one.
Long term reader, love the site, but you have to do something about the pop-up ads and videos! They swamp my phone and make sure I cant log on at work on my PC, please, please, please fix this

Who won? Surely you have 2000 surveys by now…?
We do. But Nick decided to let the survey run to get even better data. We’ll be adding prizes to up the odds. Thanks for your participation!
Nice try NSA!
Changing the rules on the fly?
So will I be getting my Glock before the April GSSF shoot?
Seems like I’ve seen this before! Whassup?
Ok, I re-read, saw where you changed the terms of the sweepstakes to up the numbers of data collection points. While we are all waiting to find out that I won a new Glock, I thought I’d share this for entertainment.
http://freebeacon.com/culture/cop-calls-out-violent-gang-members-in-epic-video/
hey. Who ever wins this should give it to me! I have nothing to go to the range with! I am just a broke Medical Grad Student!
You’ll be able to outspend most of us here on all the guns you want soon, why would I send you my free gun??? The other problem is, as a doctor, you won’t have much time to shoot it, so it’ll go unloved in your safe! No thanks, I’ll keep it for myself 😉
what is the email going to come under? I know it’s a small chance to win.
