[Juice5610]

I was going to buy a used 1911 for 650 while i waited for another 1911 to be delivered but I've always wanted a g17 and now im leaning towards glock I'm looking for a g17 in flat dark earth but so far have only seen pictures of the od green one which seems to be what im looking for, so is glocks od green really fde?

Used 1911 for 650? Add another $50 and get a brand new Kimber. Anyways, I have both a 1911(Kimber) and a Glock.. Love them both. If I had to pick one, it would be the GLock.

Depending on lighting conditions, the Glock "Olive Drab green" may look like FDE.

I'd get the green one it's more accurate...

Glock's OD isn't really OD--it's a little darker and has more brown in it than other companies' OD. Still, the OD Glocks have a nice look to it, especially when contrasted w/ black highlights like grip tape. I bought my OD G17 just to have something different (everybody and their Mom's have black Glocks). Initially, I didn't really like the color, but it's since really grown on me. Go for it.

It does grow on a person... It's like a mud-green, with more green than brown. I'd get one on my next Glock, as black is very stark by contrast.

but it is true, depends on the lighting. a lot.

How about a mint Glock-34OD. Its been a safe queen since I got it from a friend who needs some financial assistance.

Yep, "OD" is the only non-black frame color available. I like it. Some grip tape for Bam Bam:

UH OH!!!

Quick, cancel the order for the TFOs!

I own a set and had to remove them. 1) the front and rear TFO sights are equal-height, which ends up causing my Glock 19 to point low. They do not sell a shorter front sight. 2) The fiber optics in my front and right rear dots have failed, and Tru-Glo's customer service has basically ignored me, not answering the phone and only answering one email so far (with directions to call their phone number). I may have to replace the fiber optics myself or use my credit card's extended warranty to get them fixed/replaced.

I ended up swapping in some Sevigny Carry night sights, with a shorter front post than rear. Would also have bought the Warren Tactical Carry night sights, but decided to splurge this time on the Sevigny model.

ditto on the bold part. I guess i'd agree if glocks fit my hand better...of course, having more bullets when you need them is nice too, i could deal with it not feeling right for a few seconds while i fight for my life....or just carry more magazines for the kimber. whatever, i'm poor and dont own either yet
