Onepocket Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have an old 2 pin 17L that just started shooting way way left? I can't move the sights over enough to fix it. I have been shooting glocks for a long time and have never seen this one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 The slide has a hairline crack below the ejection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRock Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd contact Glock, see what they can do for you. You may have to pay for shipping to them, but I've seen guys have pretty good results getting upgrades. And, since the 17L is prettyscarce you may come out on top. I saw a thread over at Glock Talk about the 17L and people were paying pretty high prices for them when they could find them. Almost made me want to sell mine, almost. Good luck Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's on the way. I hope they replace it for me. I really liked that gun. It had about a billion rds through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRock Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I hope they do too. Someone at my local range told me he thought Glock had recently done a run of the 17L. Keep us posted. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 They sent me a new 17L slide today. I own and shoot only glocks because they run and are easy and cheap to work on. I was this guns 3rd owner and told glock this when I sent it in. I'm just waiting for Glock to start making cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be one ugly car! I bought my first Glock in January of 2009 after reading on line comments and repair hints. To me it seemed like the Volkswagen of pistols.

jmbaccolyte Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Someone, I forget who said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I like Glocks, but the triggers feel a little spongy to me compared to the best single-action only pistols. But they are one of the great choices for 99% of the population for a carry gun or "production class" or "stock service pistol division". My two cents.

alma Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I loved my Glock but find it amazing they they have not innovated a bit more when it comes to competition options. First thing that comes to mind is the garbage that they continue to use for sights. You can find stock fiber optics on plenty of guns now but not Glock.

sigsauerfan Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 woohoo. i'm gonna sniff the ground like a hound to find one of those 17L's in 2015. my boss has one of the 2nd gen. he rarely shoot it. tried to pull it off his hands,no way haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericridebike Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I went to the NRA show and Glock did say they were doing a new run of the 17L's. They did have a display model there to fondle. Wouldn't mind picking up one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiethesquid Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 How about a G24 with a set of Warren Tactical sights and a Dawson Magwell. Sigh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I have a KKM barrel, SJC magwell, warren sights, my trigger work. I will post some pictures if I ever learn how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaGlockGuy Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I hope they do too. Someone at my local range told me he thought Glock had recently done a run of the 17L. Keep us posted. Dave Really? I thought they had discontinued it due to the model competing with the 34? I would love own one of these, but have never seen a *brand new* one available anywhere.

And the 17L takes over the top of the "Next Must Have Glock" list!!!! I'm really hoping this comes out in the Gen 4 design. You would think it would be a no-brainer, but .... the 30S???

DakotaGlockGuy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just got an email showing the 17L's are available from a popular distributor. Bad News: It's a Gen 3 Frame, so I'm still on the fence about pulling the trigger on it since I have a Gen 4 34 already. I don't know if the nostalgia of owning one is worth the $595 price tag of having something that is probably not much different than what I have now. ?????

Onepocket Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 There is a huge difference between a 34 and a 17L. I would not own a gen 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not own a gen 4. Can you define the difference between the 2? Really about the only thing I see is about another inch of barrel, and the corresponding increase in sight radius. Can you please elaborate for me on what other differences you are talking about? I am sure the answers would be within reach via a search but what do you see as the issues with the Gen 4s? I don't have any experience with them. I have experience with the Gen 4's, and have not had any issues with them. If onepocket (my favorite pool game, BTW) is saying something about the reliability of the gen 4's being in question, than I must be in the minority as I haven't had any issues. I've only owned one Gen 3, which was my first Glock: A Gen 3 Glock 30S. Great gun, no problems with it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Not any running issues, it is hard to get the trigger job as good on a gen 4. The 17L handles way different than the 34. I have both set up the same way and the 17L is harder to stop in transitions. I am going to shoot limited minor with the 17L soon and see how it does. My 17L is the heaviest glock I have ever picket up. Extra long Tungsten guide rod, SJC magwell and KKM barrel. Flat shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
