How much is reasonable to pay for a G17gen4, 5 and a G19X, respectively, given the current shortage? How much would you pay for MOS / mags? Thanks!

People should be gouging at least twice the retail price for these.

right, but I guess what do you think is reasonable to pay? I know this varies from people to people, but I'm new to gun ownership in general, so I'm just kinda gauging from others.

If you really want it and its truely rare...
Or if you can get $1k worth of use out of it before they are restocked.
Or if they are not restocked before the hammer mer falls.

Its your money. I bought three handguns in the last year.
