G17....?

[Blue]

Lately.....I ashamed to admit.........I've been thinking of buying a Glock. I've never really muched liked them...mostly for the fact that everyone seems to either love them or hate them and I think my Glock lover friends tried to push them on me too hard. I've shot a couple of them and thought they were OK. I bought an XD9 just to try and not buy a Glock...I really like the XD9 but there's just something about a G17 that's calling out to me. So do I do it? Or just let this phase try and blow over?

I've tried hard to stop liking Glocks but I can't help myself.

Buy it. Thats how I was on not liking glocks, now I have the glock disease.

[trojanwar2]

I have 3 Glocks & 2 X.D.'s I really like all of them! I now want to get a Glock 21.

I used to hate glocks. I wouldn't be able to hit anything. I have always been fond of their reliability and looks. I started renting out the glock 17 every time i went to my local range. I went once a week and after about the 3rd week, I was in love. I now own a glock 17 and would like to buy a glock 19 in OD green. I own plenty of HKs, but my glock is what stays outta the safe, by my bed. Over two thousand rounds, all reloads, not one jam, ftf or any other problem. My thoughts are, YES! BUY ONE!

Glocks run, they're durable, reliable, and super easy to take apart and modify. As much as I don't want to admit it too, the Glock force certainly is strong.

Aftermarket support for this platform is insane, and for the most part, a lot of it is just "drop in."

go to a local gun range and see if they have the G17 to rent, shoot it first and see if you like it, and if you do. heck screw what other ppl say, and buy it. hehe. i'm not a glock fan but if i like how the gun shoot, i'll probably buy it. glocks are known to take ton of abuse and still function on a dime. so go rent it first.

there's just something about a G17 that's calling out to me.

Maybe you're watching too much TV?

Let's simplfy things: If your XD9 doesn't give you a hard-on anymore, ditch the bitch.

[AJAX22]

I've resigned myself to the understanding that my next 9mm will be a g17

I want to hate it, but its one of the few 9mm handguns that I can shoot the pizz out of and not feel bad.

pluss I figured out that some of the mags I had from way back are actually G18 mags (which work in the 17) so I'm kinda stoked about that whole thing.

if you want one, get one, I wouldn't sell off the other ones tho, you may feel nostalgic.

[zippo]

now I looking for get other Glock. last time I went shooting I shoot Sig P229 40 sw and G19 .
I shoot G19 better then Sig and I think is easy to shoot then sig also.
that why I looking to get othe G19......I just like the way glock set in my hand bette then sig .

Nah I've been playing too much "Black" thanks guys

Nah the XD9 still gives me a hard on, but hey, maybe the grass is greener on the other side right?

After shooting GLOCKs for awhile, everything else seems like it sits too high in my hand.

I used to hate on them too but the GLOCK has pretty much everything else beat as far as trigger reset and low bore axis.

[maxicon]

I had a G17 for a while, and sold it. I just didn't care for it - it didn't fit my hand well and was uncomfortable to shoot.

I don't sell too many guns, but that one just wasn't making it for me. I much prefer my CZ75b and 1911, and even shoot my Ruger P95 much better than the G17.

[randy]

They're ugly, triggers reset quick but otherwise suck, sights are nothing to write home about, and they sit in your hand at a weird angle. Basicly I don't think much about them.

In a nut shell why would you buy a Glock with more choices out there?

I don't know either that's why I own 3.

I guess you can figure out where I stand on this issue, hence the user name. I bought my G17 2nd gen. years ago as a refurbished sale. Did'nt know much about Glocks then; bought it because it was for a decent price and was cheaper than the Beretta 92F that I originally wanted. I put about 200 rounds through then set it in the safe for about 3 years. About that time I got started shooting IDPA and was the only pistol that I had any gear for. Then the disdain that I had for it all these years came to screeching halt when I started to develop a fondness for the pistol, it just seem to feel right in my hands. On the drawstroke it was easy to index on the target and ran flawlessly. To this day after thousands of rounds I have yet disassemble the magazines to clean them even after being dropped in the mud during those rainy IDPA matches. They've always ran flawlessly.

I also shoot a G35 but seem to like the feel of the G17 because it does not have the finger grooves.

Its one of those things you can't explain, you will either love or hate it.
