Glock 17L

[casper975]

I just put a new Glock 17L gen 3 in lay away today and then I just found out there coming out with a gen 5 mos edition

Don't worry.
I'll take that Gen 3 off your hands.

I just picked up my 17L on Thursday. Immediately dropped it off at ZR Tactical to have it milled for a red dot and have the barrel ported.

Mos system isn't a selling point IMHO

Of all the Glock pistols I have tried the only one that stayed was my 17L most likely the first gen. 22 23 17 19 and 43 all found new families to protect.
You will like it. I still have the original barrel and the barsto I purchased when I first bought it. Since my MAG decided to go glock And AR for the common carry it and the bushmaster have gone into the never sell never trade safe zone.

Not being a Glock fan boy when did they bring back the 17L I thought the 34 took that place in the lineup.

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

Mine is all done.

^^^^ that needs an X300T-B.


but, Bravo nevertheless.

I can't decide between surefire and modlite so it gets the tlr1 until I can figure it out

I'm a sucker for Surefire' momentary activation.
They have the best user interface available.
Light is light (an oversimplification, yes)
Interface is what matters.

They just released a new batch of them I ordered it from buds guns I couldn't find any here local

I’ve heard on reviews that some of these new glocks are not up to par with previous models as far as quality goes. Not sure how true it is.

I picked it up Saturday ordered it from buds guns and received it thanks to hoosier reload

That’s BS they are fine.

I will say one thing on the Gen 5 17L I just learned the nose end at the front on the slide that the recoil spring fits into is polymer and is removable. It can be slide to the back of the slide and removed. I’m sure it’s fine but I am also sure somebody will have a negative too.

Mine looks and feels like any other gen 3 glock that I've owned or still have

Loom at the 11:30 mark he takes the polymer recoil nose off the slide.

Sorry this popped up on FB and I had to laugh!

reminds me I need a 16" Rough Rider. Those 22s are so ridiculous .

Yeah putting a stock on the making a rifle Was probably a smarter move for Heritage I know we sold more of the rifle version than the king barreled revolver version

I've been riding the fence on a G34 as a dedicated competition gun. I really like the extra sight radius of a 17L, but prefer the ergonomics of the Gen 5 pistols. I 100% would have agreed that the MOS was not a selling point at all, until Holoson came out with their direct mount rear red dots. Now that you don't have some silly spacer plate and can mount direct, you've got an incredibly better mounting option for a rear optic if you ever chose to go that route.

My only concern would be the red dot co-witnessing with the aftermarket iron sights I prefer.

 

[DadSmith]

What are the pros for a long slide 9mm?
I know for a 10mm it definitely helps in velocity and energy.
I don't think a 9mm would gain a whole lot extra velocity or energy.
Here to learn.
Is it for competition?

Well the regular Ameriglow Bold co witness with the red dot
