Just bought my first gun, a 9mm Glock 17 gen 4 with the intent of having it for home protection then eventually for concealed carry once I take the course. Did I make a good purchase?
Also, glock advice thread. What ammo should be used for this?
124 grain fmj pmc for range
124 grain hornady xtps for dindus

Yes. Learn to shoot it well. Don't modify it on some misguided course to make up for a lack of fundamentals.

You bought the "can't go wrong problem solver" gun before you thought about what you would use it for didn't you?

I have massive hands and hated the way the g19 felt when holding it. I'm 6'1 around 200lbs, so not a small dude - it felt like a good fit size wise
Buy in bulk, I saw a good deal on ammo for $310.49 yesterday
Should have gotten a gen 3.

G34 Gen 3 is life.

The Glock 17 is a double stack pistol, correct? Then you can't really concealed carry it. I mean you can try, but every person who sees you will instantly notice that you have a gun, which kind of defeats the purpose. You bought a Glock because you just wanted to buy the popular choice without thinking about it too hard. I think you're too stupid to own a gun, and I hope you return it because you're only a danger to yourself and everyone around you.

Get a good kydex holster and more importantly, an actual stiff belt or gun belt.
Good choice OP. I cc a G17 every day under a baggy shirt and it conceals perfectly. Just need a good belt and holster. Real men carry full size guns.

You fell for the single stack meme hard. It's not necessary if you're one size up from manlet. You do have to dress to it though, which is lame if you live somewhere hot.

I bought a single stack so I don't have to dress around it. I'm 6'2" 220 and double stacks print on some of my clothes. I feel that if you have to dress around the gun then it wont be as easy to edc.
