Congrats.... welcome to the dark side !!! But beware it wont be your last Glock !!!

Just the 9mms: Ive added a G26 since and looking to trade a G19 for a G26.... Their very addictive !!!

Ok...I'm scrolling down and thinking cool! I like the lights. Center glock is sharp...Then I see the bayonet.. Is that in case it jams.. I'm sorry. Couldn't help it. Really it's pretty cool. Curious...how do you CC? And when do you know it's time to "FIX BAYONET!"

Thanks fellas! Yea I cant wait to get it out to the range an get some rounds through it. I can see that Im going to have to invest in some sights for it. But other than that I like it so far. An yea Im sure it wont be the last, Id really like to have a G34 also.

Get one! makes a good shooter shoot like a great shooter!!

I have a Gen 2 Glock 17 and I love it. With more than 1200 rounds through mine I have had only 1 FTE. Get a couple more mags, I would only purchase factory mags.

Do tell..what was the heck of a deal? I once sat next to a kid in a college class talked up my Glock-19 at the time, one afternoon he comes into class and says a co worker sold him a Glock-17 for $250 with five magazines..............then he says, I would have passed the deal onto you, but you talked so highly of the Glock 9mm, I decided to buy the pistol myself ! DOH!!!

Hopefully not with appendix carry.

...An recommendations on sights...

Well, everyone has their personal preferences, of course.

IMO, for any EDC-type gun, night sights should be mandatory. Mine have Trijicon's, and IMO, they're impeccable.

My take on it: While a defensive situation COULD arise at any time, it's more likely that it will (unfortunately) happen in a low-light setting for the law-abiding citizen. Checking out that 'bump' at night in the house, leaving a restaurant or shopping (!!) with the lady, sitting in a theater watching the latest midnight show. Whatever.

Some might say there's a 'tactical disadvantage' to them, but I've found none. Even in almost total darkness, testing has shown night sights offer quick acquisition, and do not 'reflect' off eyeglass lenses, etc.

Add a flashlight or laser if you're so inclined. But if you're on a budget (as most folks are), night sights should be your FIRST 'upgrade' for ANY pistol you use for defensive purposes.

Hope this helps.

Sgreen was nice enough to let me fondle said Glock yesterday. It does appear to be unfired with the factory lube still in it. Very nice gen 3! Trigger on this on is pretty good as is. We talked about night sights and holsters. Sgreen did in fact get a heck of a deal! I won't spill the beans but he got a great gun for a fair price. This pistol should be perfect for him.

I heard from a guy at a gun show that glocks will explode in your hand. Be careful.

 

[Fordtough25]

Glock > everything else.

Agreed. Welcome to the cool kids club Sgreen! G17 is a great handgun, I traded mine off sadly after I got my G34. I will get one again in the future, I don't need it really but what a fantastic piece! Congrats buddy!

 

[SmokinSigs357]

Keep the pictures coming! I've never seen one...they're such beautiful guns!

There is some beauty in function. And for some reason I actually do like the way they look, always have.

 

[thabombsquad]

Welcome to the glock family! The 17 is a sweet shooter for sure!

 

[Woodro29]

I do love my glock!
Congrats!

 

[Mr. Neal]

Traded my M&P40 a few months ago got a g22 gen4 and couldnt be happier! I'm very happy I switched to glock. I'm glad you feel the same way. Enjoy!

God, how I wish that I could rep myself for this!

 

[traderdan]

A Glock is like an Estwing hammer....awfully hard to beat as a functional tool,but there are a LOT of things I would rather hold in my hand! Congrats on the new pistol though.It is a very sound investment.

Not near as cheap as that, but I did ok on it. I traded my SD40VE with 4 mags for it. So Im pretty happy to say the least
