GLOCK G17 GEN 5

Bought this wonderful Glock 17 Gen 5 about a month ago and am impressed. I have put about 200+ rounds of 115 grain Federal and 50 rounds 147 grain Winchester Hollow point and have had zero malfunctions. I plan on keeping this gun a long time and being my first Glock…let’s just say I’m a fan now. I love the simplicity and value of this pistol, as well as the 17 round capacity. You get 3 magazines, a speed loader, hard shell case, back straps etc. I would recommend this pistol to anyone who wants a reliable home defense/target practice weapon.

Glock has always been my choice. I was a competitive shooter 20+ years ago, and used Glock 17, and now I still use Glock 17. It’s not too heavy, and is extremely reliable. This both for competition and self defense. You can’t go wrong with a Glock, but make sure it fits your hands, and also your budget.

Perfect size reliability and 18 rounds. I feel safe without standing out. Or having to switch magazines less Incase the is a reason to expend that many rounds. Switching mags while firing decreases accuracy if not by 15% that's enough to make a huge difference in competition shooting.

First time firing It was accurate. Handled well First Hundred rounds where FMJ's and it fed fine Fired 10 rounds of of Hollow Point and it fed perfect

I carried a Glock 17 for 20+ years on a security job. We had our own range facilities and had to do a qualification at least once every 10 weeks. All of our Glocks went through about 1000 rounds per year with very little, if any, problems. I expect similar results with my purchase.

It’s a Glock, what can go wrong. Only complaint I would have would be I’d like the option of adjustable sights to come with the pistol. Never did like fixed sights.

A Glock is a 5 star weapon. Unless you sell it with 10 round mags in a Red state. That drops the rating to a 4. Actually the Glock should remain a 5 star rating while the seller, Cabela's, gets a 3 for selling 10 round mags in Arizona.

What can I say. It’s a Glock. Reliable. But in FDE. This is a Glock OEM FDE frame. That means it’s FDE all the way through and not a cerakote (paint) that can scratch off. The color is a darker FDE. Almost brown.
