Welcome to the gun community! G17 is my favorite combat pistol for sure. I’m sure you already heard it, Austria not Australia, magazine, not clip. Clip is the old style feed through the top of an open action rifle such as the M1 Garland. But congratulations on picking probably the best handgun ever made. Soon you’ll want a 1911 though 😎👍🏼
IMO the Glock17 IS the greatest 9mm pistol ever made. It's not very expensive, parts are cheap & it's super reliable, more reliable than other far more expensive pistols.
Do you have to get training first before you purchased it? I'm curious as I'm a beginner and from San Diego. Trying to get as much information as I can. Any feed back would be great thanks.
Just bought the same gun last week, Picking it up this week. I actually had my heart set on a Glock 19 gen 3 , but like you, it didn’t feel great in my hand oversized hands . hell I can palm a basketball using 3 finger. But once I held the Glock 17 gen 3 I knew I had to have it. I’m hoping to run it competitively in the upcoming tactical games this year.
Weird, the gen 3 with the finger grips felt terrible in my big hands compared to a gen 5 i just held. Fingers felt way too cramped. Youre the first person with 'big hands' to say they help lol but guess it goes to show everyone should go out and feel it for themselves and make their own decision!
Where did you order yours? I’m in CA and I’m looking for a G17 gen 3 because it’s actually one of the few handguns on the CA roster. Been looking everywhere, they’re all sold out!
I carry mine in a holster with 1 in the chamber at all times, except when I sleep. Then it sits in the holster at the romp of my head board while I sleep. You will need extra mags, as well as a good leather belt. I say leather cause it won't scratch your slide. #(ck) common knowledge
Wow ! I hope you have learned a thing or two since posting this video a while back . Pointing the gun at yourself is a really bad habit . Cleared or not . Need to drop the magazine before checking the chamber . That’s a big one !
