Aiden Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Long story short, back to shooting a Glock.Having previously owned a Gen 3 and deciding it wasn't for me, I held a Gen 4 G17 for the first time a couple weeks ago...I couldn't get over how much I liked it! I could actually reach the mag release without shifting the grip, and every time I raised the gun the sights just lined up perfectly. And the trigger felt a lot better than I remembered, even in factory configuration.Managed to put it away and walked out. Then last week I ended back up in the shop, saw the same Glock sitting there, and bought it...Has the Glock night sights, can't decide if I'll swap em over to Warrens or not. Can't wait to shoot it!

3djedi Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Awesome! I bought a gen 4 glock 19 for CCW and that quickly turned into a glock 17, 34 and recently glock 35. My 19 has speed sights on them but the rest have dawson fiber optics...... If your 17 is for CCW or home defense check out the speed sights. I have the night sight version. www.speedsights.com Edited May 26, 2014 by 3djedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc3257 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I started with a G23 Gen 3 but it was too big for my hands. Sold it and bought a G17 Gen 4. Fits my hand much better and I can reach the mag release like you said. I now use mine for USPSA Production. Installed Ghost Edge trigger kit and Dawson Precision competition FO front sight and black rear sight. 3,000+ rounds without a hiccup!

Aiden Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think I'm gonna keep this one close to stock, maybe polish up the internals but otherwise factory parts. I have a habit of upgrading parts from the start without really spending a lot of time in factory configuration.Could turn this into a nightstand gun... still have an XD-9 Tactical I can use for gaming.

knedrgr Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Congrats. I love my G17-4 as well. I also had a G19-4 and thought it was great, so I'd combined them... G19L G19L hanging G17 SBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
