Glock all the way. You can't go wrong with a G17, and if for some odd reason you don't like it, they keep their value and you'd have no problem selling it I'm sure.

there's places in the modesto and sac area that has g17 fs for $499 or less. go with the G17

Says Dennis Tueller, my Glock Armorer's Course instructor, who was told by his boss - the guy that wrote/designed the newest Armorer's Manual. And HE was told by HIS boss (an even higher-ranking official at Glock, Inc.)

Who says 3rd Gen Glocks are gonna dry up soon? Glock has not announced they're discontinuing the 3rd Gen. If that's the case new Glocks will not be available for sale here in CA.

1. See above

2. Yes, that is the case and NO, Glocks will no longer be available in California. I'm quoting Glock, Inc. here, by saying "We have no interest or plans on paying the extra exorbitant fees to the California DOJ once the Gen4's replace the Gen3's.

Glocks are fat, ugly, boring to look at, a dime a dozen, too lite and have too much muzzle flip. They don't use a fully supported barrel. Have the most complaints of any gun when it comes to ergos. The trigger feels like mashed potatoes and appears designed by Hasbro. Glock safe action doesn't mean safe pistol. Carried by LEO's because of budget cuts. Glock can't make up their mind about grip texture. A great Glock will never have the target accuracy of a great 1911. One more thing, except for a small handfull, Glocks are made overseas. Buy American!! Why do I own three Glocks? Well other than its short comings its probably the most reliable pistol ever and can tolerate the harshest conditions and still fire without hiccups.

Brother...if you don't know I guess you just don't know.

Glocks have the same trigger pull each and every time, and do not need a thumb safety. Off all the guns that function similarly they have the shortest reset I have seen. All of that translates to a trigger that is easy to master and a nice centered grouping with little to no effort. Compared that to DA/SA handguns that result in one high and one low grouping until you've spent years mastering them and I would say that is a hell of gun. In addition to being super easy to master, they are super fast. No thumb safety to flip off and a medium trigger pull translate to speed. In a gun battle where fractions of a second matter, the Glock truly shines. They are also extremely reliable, can take all kinds of abuse, and still function.

It is one thing to think they are ugly, or that they feel clunky, but there is no arguing with their performance.
