How Accessories Affect What We Pay for Your G22

Glock 22 and accessories values

Having accessories can improve Glock 22 value sometimes, especially if they upgrade the gun.

Keep in mind that cerakotes or refinishes are less likely to add value, though. Most buyers aren’t interested in paying for refinished guns.

Glocks with the original Tupperware cases are preferred. The condition of the case matters too.

Value: Around $10 to $25 for the original “Tupperware” case.

Most buyers like an extra mag.

Value: Around $7 to $15 per 15-round mag.
