I know lots of people like Glocks, but I'm having a hard time getting used to my new G17. I've only had it out a few times, but that trigger and hard plastic frame are driving me nuts. I've ordered a 3.5# disconnector - that may help.

I can shoot my CZ75s and 1911 into nice, tight groups, but this one just isn't growing on me yet, and it's not a very natural pointer for me.

I've also had a couple of light strikes (out of a few hundred rounds) on American Eagle ammo that touched off fine in my Sig. I know this isn't normal for a Glock, and I don't know if the guy I got it from tweaked anything, but I don't think so.

I'll give it another thousand rounds or so and see if I want to keep it.

Actually if there is a weakness to a striker fired gun it's that it hits the primer more weakly than a hammer fired gun. This can become more of a problem when the striker channel gets real dirty/someone fools with the striker spring and tries to lighten it/ or someone puts lube in the striker spring. The good news is taking the slide apart is very easy on a Glock so you can get in there with a Q-tip and clean it out. Make sure you leave it dry when yopu are done. I do this every 1000 rounds or so because I carry this gun and practice with very dirty reloads. Haven't had any problems with light striker hits.

I have the 3.5 lb connector in my G19 and prefer it to the 5.5 lb one. If you are really adventurous and only use this gun as a range plinker, a dremel and a little grinding can yield about as close to a 1911 trigger as possible. Got a friend who shoots a lot of IPSC and can do some pretty amazing things to a Glock trigger. That's the benefit of Glocks, if you screw up the trigger assembly, a replacement is cheap and drops right in.

If you opt to sell it, I'm sure one of us Calgunners can give it a nice home for a modest fee.
