Is the Glock 17 still relevant?

Sure. It fills the void between the Glock 19 and the Glock whatever, the stupid big 9mm one. The whole Glock philosophy is to have one in every size and caliber to hit all potential buyers.

>>34585615
But now even militaries and police are looking at the Glock 19 as the standard, rather than as a compact. The 17 gets talked about very little.

>>34585704
They are ony for real men who cc full size handguns. find me a manlet who ccs a glock 17 or an m9. They don't.

>>34585589
Aesthetically superior to both the 19 and 34 when used in conjunction with the ALG 6sec mount and a suppressor.

>>34585589
Yes it's perfection

>>34587071
There were a bunch of manlets talking about CCing 92 variants in the /pbg/ where a tripfag "reviewed" that shitty new Beretta carbine.

>>34587071
Surely the size between a 17 and 19 isn't much different? More a revision for smaller hands than a true compact.

>>34585615
>The whole Glock philosophy is to have one in every size and caliber to hit all potential buyers.
Glock subcompacts are terrible though.

>>34585589
I only have a 19 which is more concealable if you're built like me (6'0 170), but honestly I prefer the long grip of the 17 and the slightly longer sight radius. I shot double perfects for qualifications with a 17 in the police academy.

>>34587969
Save sight radius, it's dumb to run a 17 as opposed to a 19, when you can slam a "full sized" magazine into it. I mean, you could put a 33 rounder into it, although I don't have any personal experience with the reliability of them. They're probably fine,

>>34585589
Ehhhhhhhh.

It's not as relevant but it still works ok. A late model Toyota Corolla isn't relevant but there are still a fuckton of them driving around.

I shot a pf9 once, never the p11. The trigger sucked, but carrying CCW with a weapon has gotta be sweeeeet.

14 ounces for a p11 vs the g26 at 22 ounces, same mag capacity. As long as it's reliable and you can hit what you're shooting at with the trigger, go for it.

Glock 34 is length of a 1911 height of 17 so not unwieldy. Why ever buy glock 17?

>>34585589
Of course it is. 9mm is still a fantastic cartridge, there's a huge aftermarket for the 17 and an even bigger selection of used guns.

>>34589457

>>34589500

I was thinking about getting a 17 MOS and putting a trijicon RMR on it.

Is this a dumb idea? I can't see another pistol out there to get behind. I'd pick up a pl-14 if it were ever a possibility but it won't be.

it's still a gun, but honestly you either want a 19 or a 17L, or a 20 so you don't have a vagina cartridge glock. 10mm Glocks are actually relevant because of how slim the choices are for 10mm.

No it's not. The appeal of glocks is that they are simple guns so they're easy to work on, modify, and support a huge aftermarket. I have 100 percent glock brand internal parts. There's literally no reason not to run a comp if you can tolerate g34 slide dimensions. Now there is also no reason not to use an RDS. They've been tested and used enough to be a reliable and better sighting system than irons. Do the research yourself or just be a luddite and preach a KISS philosophy under the pretense you know better.

>>34596756
It's better than a g34 for competition, fits in a g34 holster, the comp is as long as an x300u and keeps it from clouding when shooting. An RDS on a handgun is the future, much like it's necessary on rifles now for anything demanding.

Just get your glock slide milled, it's better than getting an mos model if you already own a glock 19.

Glock themselves are not the best polymer handgun to choose from any longer, out of the box of course, they're certainly not the worst, but there are plenty of new polymer handguns for the same price range that do a better job than Glock.

>>34592800
How difficult would it be to do your own conversion? Just ream a barrel to .30 caliber and headspace it properly and voila. It would make more sense to convert it into a glock carbine with a 9 or 10 inch barrel though

>>34589631
Dude, drop 60 pounds.

>>34597943
comps increase flash and noise which at night when you have no ear pro can be a problem

red dots on handguns require significant training to get consistent sight picture and are best for older folk with bad eyes or guys who need to hit 25 yard shots more consistently. at the 7-10 yards I shoot I prefer irons because its much easier to acquire sight picture.

red dots are preference, comps have cons, I like the 17 for the full(er) grip

>>34592800
Someone did covert a Glock 20 to 7.62x25, and it worked fine, I remember seeing the video at one point, but I couldn't find it. So it's definitely possible, if I remember correctly it was basically just a custom barrel.

>>34601235
Comps increase flash relative to a flash hider, but even the most obnoxious comp is orders of magnitude less bright than a bare muzzle.

Any barrel length of 3.5 in barrel or less gives 10mm the same muzzle energy as 40 s&w from the same barrel, which is why no company worth a damn makes a subcompact 10mm

I think a fullsize gloc 22 is better then a glock 17 since it looks to big for a 9mm unless u go for the 34/17L you'll get 15rds of .40 plus fullsize handgun for better recoil control compare to 23 which was a hassle.

Glock 19 replaced the 17 as the sweet spot in a 9mm package and glock 34 replaced the 17 as the new and improved glock 17. Huge sight radius and more fps compared to 17 barrel.

>>34602252
Glock factory 33 round mags still puts the pistol ahead of many competitors.

>>34602458
How often does a semi-auto Glock owner make use of a 33 round magazine and for what purpose?

Seems like a once or twice range memeing then you throw them in the bag an use regular magazines because the 33' rounders provide no training benefit and only serve to mag dump until you realize how much money you're wasting.

Obviously I'm not intimately familiar with the shooting sports over in Merkel's happy little caliphate, but the only versatility benefit to the 34, as far as I can tell, is that it would be better than the 19 if you took everything off of it to shoot in a division that proscribed comps and red dots, so if you vacillated a lot about your preferred gun game loadout, it would have that going for it.

I bought a g19 for concealed carry. But this summer I decided I needed something smaller so I didn't print at inopportune times, so I went for a g43.

Now that I have the g43, I feel like my other gun ought to just be a full sized gun, since it's no longer needed for concealment. I'll never be mad I own a g19, but if I could trade it out for a g17 I probably would. Then again, maybe during winter I'll go back to carrying it at night, or basically when I'm not going to/from work.

Full sized handguns offer many advantages to 'compact' models like the g19. In fact, concealability is the only reason I can think to buy the g19 over the g17... unless maybe you just like the look of g19 more - which I happen to think is the superior aesthetic.

Just finished this. Still ironing out some issues. RMR didn't mount to slide easily. Currently using some phillips head stainless flat head machine screws 6-32 by 1/2" that were ground down to about 0.375" so as to not bottom out in the slide.

Would really prefer some black ano hex or torx screws but the ones that came with the RMR wouldn't go in and none of the other machine screws at the hardware store would go in except the phillips head one.

Kinda want an Inforce gen 3 light, but might just go with the TLR-1HL

I see cops wear them all the time. If you don't have size restrictions or concealment needs then having the 2 extra rounds and a longer barrel is worth it. That being said If I wanted a full sized handgun I'd get a 34. Other than a duty gun (aka cops or security) I don't really see the point of buying a 17 over a 19.

No. In fact, Glock is no longer relevant. 30 years ago, Glock was still innovative and cutting edge. Now days, Glock makes overpriced awkward plastic pistols that are inferior to almost every other firearm manufacturer's product on the planet.

I'd rather buy and carry a Hi-point for $150 than a Gluck 17 for $500. Why not? They're both ugly and stupid looking, but they both go bang when you pull the trigger.

>>34610598
They're unremarkable in that they do everything so well nothing about it stands out. Most guns need to taunt some exclusive characteristic to be relevant. A glock is a tool that is simple and simply effective. Everything you need in a gun, with nothing you don't.

It's fine if you want 10 rds of 9mm in a trivial-to-conceal package that shares mags with your larger 9mm Glocks and don't need a weaponlight.
It's a bit shit if it's your first and only handgun.

Depends on your eyes too. Some guys shoot the smaller sight radius better. G26vs19vs17. 34/35 with .245 tall front sight and flush rear sight all day erry day.

It's a glock. Get a good price and go for it.

They are great. I carry one, don't bother with pinky extensions. Keep it small and because of the short grip its super easy to conceal.

If you want a weaponlight get a tlr-6
