Inherited my dad’s Gen 3 G17.. a great gun. He was a 30yr retired MGYSGT (USMC) and that was the gun he kept in his nightstand until he passed at the good age of 87. Boy, do I miss him. The G17, eats anything, and points like a good bird dog. I’ve done a few minor mods: lighter trigger spring, smooth slide release, and Trijicon sights. It now is in my nightstand and will be there until one of my 3 sons gets it.

I think you made a great choice. A lot of people go for smaller framed handguns because the larger ones can seem intimidating. What a lot of new gun owners don’t get is that those smaller ones are snappier due to the shorter barrel and shorter grip leaving you with very little to grasp on to. Good luck with your new gun and new found hobby. My first recommendation to any person just getting started is to learn to field strip it, clean it and oil it. Learn how things work internally as this will translate to knowledge at the range should any malfunctions pop up. Secondly, seek training and never stop (regardless of the frequency). Even if it’s every 6 months, learn something new from someone else and put it into practice. Thirdly, spread the word. Get other friends and family involved in the hobby. Help them the way others have helped you.

@GunBoxTherapy

3 жыл бұрын

I believe that it has something to do with polymer on polymer vs polymer on steel. Due to the polymer grip used on Glocks, I could see premature wearing on the grip if steel mags were used. And then obviously they started steel lining them to keep the polymer mags from bulging/cracking.

I would recommend the 17 or the 19 as a beginner gun as they are both good size frames. A lot of people gravitate towards the smaller guns thinking they are tiny and don’t recoil much or just because they are small they must be easier to handle, both are untrue if you did not know. Starting with a larger gun will allow you to get use to using that cartridge, if you’d like 9mm, and you will have less felt recoil in turn better accuracy. I don’t believe the Gen 3 mag release can be swapped.

@GunBoxTherapy

I’d say if the intention in 3 years is to conceal carry, the 19 is the way to go. The 17 is “carryable” but I would only attempt it as an outside the waistband carry gun with a jacket on top. So winter carry only. You are definitely on the right track and 3 years is PLENTY of time to get some trigger time behind your Glock. My personal minimum round count before a trust a carry gun is 1,000 rounds with very limited malfunctions. Malfunctions that can be cleared with just my two hands. Some people will say no cleaning/oiling during that time period but honestly I make it a habit to check my carry gun for function every other day if not every day. So make certain you use these next 3 years wisely with training under an instructor, self training, dry fire training and just really get to know that gun inside and out.
