Do these have the newer smooth / glossy finish on the slide? Hard to tell

Mine's going to be $629 OTD once it arrives. Seems reasonable for what you get.

Picked up a 17 at the Phoenix Glockmeister store today. Never been a tan gun fan, but it grew on me quick. The RTF2 texture is perfect (I'm used to aggressive Gunner grips on my 1911 - this is no where near as sharp). I also like the TD/Vickers mag release and slide stop a lot more than I thought I would. Glockmeister had already installed them and the base pads. The sights are nice but the range will be the test.

Too bad I already have a 17 RTF2 with scallops and a 19 RTF2 straight. I prefer HD sights and black guns anyways. But I'm glad to see the RTF2 frame again. I need to find a 21 RTF2 to be happy (and probably complete with my glock buying, I won't own one that's not RTF2).

Good looking Glocks! If I had the $$ I would grab a 17 for sure, I like the sights, color, and frame style. Sadly I do not though so I get to enjoy everyone's pics here. Lol

Would love to pick one of these up, but I refuse to buy Glocks with the shitty slide finish, which pretty much rules out any Glock produced in the past few years.

This. My understanding is there are only 2500 guns of each model. I suspect they will all be gone in a few weeks, let alone months. The 19's are already pretty hard to find. Buy one elsewhere and have him do the transfer.

I like these pistols a LOT, but the gen3 frame just doesn't fit my hand as well as the gen4. Surprised that LAV actually went with the gen3 dimensions, as he's always talking about how he has such tiny hands...

I have midget hands and prefer a Gen 4, but the RTF frame FEELS smaller than the standard Gen 3 for some reason. We busted out the calipers and the RTF is about the same size as the other Gen 3s, but it feels like a Gen 4 in the hand. I had the same concern that you do, but I went for it anyway. Also, this place has 17s in stock for a good price: https://www.jjgunsupply.com/p-1611-glock-17-rtf2-fde-vickers-tactical.aspx |

Anybody take a stock Glock and a fancy one of these and shoot them side by side?
I predict same groups/times= it's all about the Chicks /tacticool dig it!!! A long time ago my recommendation to folks was get a Glock, lots of mags, a Kramer horsehide holster, a ton of ammo and shoot the heck out of it! I haven't seen any reason to change something that works great for cosmetics. YMMV |

So its a package thing. Not a bling thing. Actually - if this had "Vickers" stamped on the slide or additional logos on the grips, etc. I wouldn't be buying one at all. For me - its the package deal. |

YMMV Glock 17 - $500 Vickers Slide Release - $16 Vickers Mag Release - $19 Vickers Mag Floor Plates - $18 Vickers Sights - $100 Total value - $653 People are buying these for less than $650, so it's a good value if you like the extra features. Especially if you like the RTF2 frame since those are no longer available (and have never been available in tan if you like that color).

Even that isn't a fair assessment since I have seen RTF2s going for 20% more than standard frames with regularity. I paid $643 shipped, which would be fair for a non-RTF with the included parts. |

I'm not a Glock guy but I picked up a LAV 17 to have as my lone Glock example. Seemed like a nice upgrade list at a more than fair price.
The stock trigger did seem too heavy, so I dropped in a Lone Wolf 3.5 connector. Now it is a little too light for my tastes I think. I nned something in between. Should the stock trigger lighten up over time? |

Is it just me or do the little nubs on the RTF texture seem kind of fragile? I already noticed a couple of them are flattened on my new 17. I'm thinking with a lot of hard use the RTF will eventually loose some of it's grip. The grip texture on my Gen 4's feels just as grippy, but seems more durable. I think this is the only thing keeping me from buying the 19 to go along with my 17.

Just picked up my Vicker's 19.
Love it. Funny, but I have been on the hunt for a rtf 19 and had no luck. I did find a G22 rtf but wanted a 17 and a 19. Original rtf 19s go for crazy prices so I figured I got sights for free. I paid $599 |

We'll see though - gotta take it to the range before I have any real opinions. But heck yes I'm pleased with the purchase! I'll get a pic later... |

Sadly I'm not the biggest fan of Gen3 s but these are nice. More so for the options than color IMHOTEP. Now oddly enough a Gen4 med back strap feels different than the LAV gen3 I played with at the store. I guess my reason for getting one isn't good cause the only reason would really be to get the SAI magwell and have boresight work the gun completely over... Idk silly me I guess
P.S. If anyone doesn't like the sights as much as they wish they did and want some Trijicon HDs I have an extra set I'll trade you. |
