I laugh at the people who say polymer guns have no collectibility.

Compare the price of a used Gen 1 Glock 17 (a popular model in its day) and a 686 no dash in similar used condition. Even with the original target grips, the gen 1 Glock will sell all day for more money on auction sites. Now I understand certain Smiths will sell higher than the Glock, but comparing two common models, the Glock is valued higher despite it having a lower starting price.

If I bought a new Gen 4 Glock 17 today and a 686-6 and sold them in a couple years, the Glock would have held its value better than the Smith
