I don't shoot glocks well at all compared to other guns. But the 17 is a good gun. Just doesn't fit my Hand well and I'm thinking of getting a
grip reduction on mine.
a friend of mine's dad and mom own both a 17 and a 19, ironically she likes the 17 and he likes the 19 and both shoot the 17 better so i think the bigger gun has the advantage in actual firing. little bit more weight and longer slide would be my guess.(ps they both do a lot better with my hi power ).
I shoot the g17 better than my g19 but not by much. I carry the 19 and try to practice with it the most but I always end up shooting my g22 for some reason.
Ill be there around noon. Ill bring my 17 if you want to meet up and shoot her. You will have to feed her if you wanna shoot more than one mag, but ill give ya a full mag to start with.
I started shooting a glock 19 of my dads since I was little and didn't really shoot it as good as i would of liked, then I got a hold of a 17 and man what a difference I think its just a bigger frame gun so the recoil isn't as bad. Saying that I carry a 26 now so go figure (lol)
practice makes perfect I guess
I purchased the Glock 17 instead of the 19 because it fit my hands better, but I should my friend's gen4 Glock 19 and was just as accurate with his gun as mine. But, the 19 is a lot easier to conceal.
I have a Glock 22 which shoots ok for me. I would think that the difference in sight radius and extra weight of the longer slide/barrel should make anyone shoot the 17 better than the 19. I have shot my friends Glock 23 and I don't shoot it nearly as well as my Glock 22. I would guess that a similar situation would occur with the 17/19 comparison as well.
