what to buy for 2nd handgun

[Rip007]

A glock 26 or a glock 23 if you want to venture into the 40 cal.

I recently shopped with similar parameters and ended up finding a "like new" CZ75BD in 9mm. I love it and range ammo is a lot cheaper than .40SW.

As much as I would like to try something different I'm leaning toward your advice. However, my thought process for buying a new gun was to gain experience with something other than a Glock. So if I am persuaded that it isn't worth it to do that then maybe I don't buy a second gun. I will probably still keep an eye out for a good 22 for fun. I would like to get the AA conversion for my G17 but they are back ordered for 12-24 months so that is a ways off.

Thanks everyone for your advice. Chime in if you have an opinion.

An AA kit for a 17 was in stock at Plainfield earlier this week... just sayin,

What is the name of the shop?

I just called plainfield and the one they have is for a Gen 3 so I can't use it. They claim that there is no conversion available yet for the Gen 4.

That is inaccurate. It is available, or at least in the catalog.

Advantage Arms Secure Online Store: Which Kit Will Fit My Glock?

This page: Glock Conversion Kits - 9mm to .22 LR

Lists the FAQs, and says the 17 is available as well.

You may have to shop around a bit, or go in and talk with them. If it's available, I am sure they'll get it for you!

I've shopped all around and no one has them. I've checked about every online retailer as well. they all say anywhere from 6 to 18 month backorder for the Gen 4 kit.

One dealer I talked to said that it's a tiny operation our of an industrial park in L.A. He said they only make a few units per week.

Sorry missed the Gen 4 in the original post.

Glockmeister (no experience with them personally) seems to let you add it to your cart... they are $325 there though, but it is gen 4:

XDM 40! That was my plan to go along with my G21. However, I got a deal I couldn't pass up on a Springfield 1911 A1 Military, so the XDM has to wait a few months

I was just in today doing my weekly check for an AA kit for a 19/23 for Gen 4, and to my surprise and yet disappointment they had an AA kit for a 17/22 Gen 4 and a 19/23 Gen 4 in stock today. They just got them in.

Guess I'll head back in a week or so to see if they get any in for the Gen 3.
