Unboxing - Glock 17 Gen 3 

My dad bought his gen 2 Glock17 back in 1990 & still has it to this day & works flawlessly.

@@PerceptionVsReality333 - that’s amazing, but typical of a Glock..

@@sboy1955 bro u wrote this on every glock gen 3 video

@@vhulrr Lol, cut & pasted a few, there’s hundreds of YT vids on the G17. It’s a damn good gun and he was a really great man.. 🇺🇸

@Alex Davidson i had my choice of guns but it’s something about this 17. I had it for 5 years now and i wouldn’t take nothing for it. My mom is 70 years old i let her shoot it she even said Son that’s a smooth shooting gun. Lol Trust me your dad knew what he had that’s why he kept it for that long.

Welcome welcome

You won't regret it! Welcome!

My very first firearm is a g17 gen3. Love it

I think you made a great choice. A lot of people go for smaller framed handguns because the larger ones can seem intimidating. What a lot of new gun owners don’t get is that those smaller ones are snappier due to the shorter barrel and shorter grip leaving you with very little to grasp on to. Good luck with your new gun and new found hobby. My first recommendation to any person just getting started is to learn to field strip it, clean it and oil it. Learn how things work internally as this will translate to knowledge at the range should any malfunctions pop up. Secondly, seek training and never stop (regardless of the frequency). Even if it’s every 6 months, learn something new from someone else and put it into practice. Thirdly, spread the word. Get other friends and family involved in the hobby. Help them the way others have helped you.

@@GunBoxTherapy You read my mind haha, I was telling people before getting the gun that I really want to learn the in and out of the gun I am buying. Taking it apart and putting it back together. And I did tell my mother about me getting one and she got encouraged to get one herself!!

You will have no regrets. You will see how good it really is! Take good care of her and she will provide you with a lifetime of security and protection.

Just bought a gen 3 G17 picking it up pretty soon really excited to take to the range and getting familiar with it, it’s my first gun too, so stoked

@@Azer.. I had mine for about 5 months now! I am super excited to have it, it’s a awesome gun.

Picked up one...Excellent Weapon

Same!

Just picked mine up 499

Sheesh u shoulda got the g5 for that

@@ghhhdvvProbably from CA we can only have state approved handguns and G5 and G4 are not

so accurate too.Love my GEN 3 G17 . My go to for Home defense/nightstand Gun . i use the Federal HST 124gr + P hollowpoints 1200 fps. good Ammo is important .

I got one a few months ago from an estate sale. Older gentleman never got a chance to shoot it. So basically NIB for just under $400. Recently added Glocks night sights to it.

Hmmm, does the glow from the night sights stop glowing at some point?

@@flexxskins The tritium in night sights wears out after about 10 years.

For the first timer, the mag release button is too hard. Extender will help a lot.

How do you like the 19? I'm waiting to pick up my 17 too but if they finally have the 19 in stock I might exchange it. Any advice helps thanks!

@@alexmar8325 Honestly just depends on how you’re carrying. Like most stuff with guns it’s just preference. I prefer the 17 when I open carry and for conceal appendix carry. I carry the 19 iwb appendix or 5 clock just behind my hip iwb. They’re pretty much the exact same pistol the 17 just has a tad longer barrel and grip. The 17 will however have less recoil and be less snappy than the 19 because of the bigger dimensions. In my humble opinion Sir, you cannot do wrong purchasing either one.

@@senordiabeeto5703 thanks so much! I have big hands and it's for home defense so I think I'll stick with the 17!

@@alexmar8325 sounds like a plan man! Glad I could help. I bought the 19 for my first ever handgun with the purpose of conceal carry. Honestly all stock glocks are pretty much the same except for size 👍🏼

Just filled out paperwork and paid today for g17. How so you like it? Im a springfield xd guy 😂 but love both

Congrats man! You started a new unbreakable habit. lol.

I enjoy hearing when people from other countries have opportunities to obtain firearms. I know it isn’t easy, especially when compared to America, but at least you are exercising your right to do so!

I really didin't know that?👍🏽

LOL BS the G19 and 26 are NOT Obsolete . if you have to get aftermarket magazines to make a gun have 15''rounds'' then it doesn't make sense .

What kind of holster do you use for the Glock 17?

Hey man, just saw your comment on the newest video. Typically the Gen 3s that come to America are manufactured/assembled in either Austria or America. It really depends on the manufactur date. I no longer have this firearm though so I won’t be able to check it individually but if I receive another Gen 3 17 I will be sure to check it for you. Sorry I couldn’t be of much help in your particular question.

how is the gen 5 mags an upgrade ? LOL Do TELL...

What holster do you use?

I believe that it has something to do with polymer on polymer vs polymer on steel. Due to the polymer grip used on Glocks, I could see premature wearing on the grip if steel mags were used. And then obviously they started steel lining them to keep the polymer mags from bulging/cracking.

@no use for a name It jams all the time stove pipes I went with Springfield do you want and also to get cheap

I would recommend the 17 or the 19 as a beginner gun as they are both good size frames. A lot of people gravitate towards the smaller guns thinking they are tiny and don’t recoil much or just because they are small they must be easier to handle, both are untrue if you did not know. Starting with a larger gun will allow you to get use to using that cartridge, if you’d like 9mm, and you will have less felt recoil in turn better accuracy. I don’t believe the Gen 3 mag release can be swapped.

@@jamesaustin1864 Thanks mang! MUCH appreciated!

@@2Shine55 I wouldn’t trust that link. Most likely a scam. This account posts this link and the same automated phrases under multiple comment sections. Definitely a bot.

This is one of the best beginner pistols.

Yeah unfortunately you guys can only buy Gen 3s. That whole roster thing sucks man along with the magazine ban.

@@GunBoxTherapy Ban on standard capacity magazine which they try to gaslight and call it high capacity mags. LMAO. I'm trying to move to NV for this reason.

The gen 3 is the best generation glock.

Glock 17 all the way.

I thought the same thing

Could be the fact that these were made for police an came out in 1998 you'll get used to it though I had the same feeling but now it's more easier

Thanks man!

I’d say if the intention in 3 years is to conceal carry, the 19 is the way to go. The 17 is “carryable” but I would only attempt it as an outside the waistband carry gun with a jacket on top. So winter carry only. You are definitely on the right track and 3 years is PLENTY of time to get some trigger time behind your Glock. My personal minimum round count before a trust a carry gun is 1,000 rounds with very limited malfunctions. Malfunctions that can be cleared with just my two hands. Some people will say no cleaning/oiling during that time period but honestly I make it a habit to check my carry gun for function every other day if not every day. So make certain you use these next 3 years wisely with training under an instructor, self training, dry fire training and just really get to know that gun inside and out.

@@GunBoxTherapy thanks for the recommendations👍🏽, as well as the tips
