That's really cool. A gen III was my first pistol. Interesting to have the original. Piece of history.

Nice find on a classic. I myself have a 20 year old G17, although it's a early 2nd gen it is my favorite Glock.

Very cool, sir!
The G17 I'm carryin' right now (2nd Gen) was built in Feb of 1990. Still goin' strong, I trust it 100%. Great pistol you've got there. |

Wow, I was issued one just like that (except the adjustable sights) on duty back in 1987. I remember going thru the NRA instructors school in Allentown ,PA w/ it and getting pissed about the grip and my sweaty hands. I made it thru the class and started carrying a issue G19 in 1989. Wish I bought it when we traded our guns in. Oh well!

I have a few Gen 1 G17's. I like the grip the best, although I also have Gen 2's and 3's. One of them came with an adjustable sight like yours, but I swapped it out right away. The adjustable sight seemed very fragile and I didn't trust it.
I took a class about a year ago, and I used my slightly beat up, Gen 1 G17 (the first one I bought). A shooter from out of state forgot his cleaning kit for his HK P7, so I let him use the one I had with me. 1800 rounds in three days with no cleaning or lube, and no malfunctions, not that I expected any. Nice find. |

Quoted:

My oldest is a 1987 G17, it is my IDPA gun and has a lot of rounds through it. Not as many as other people the most of any I own. I keep the night stand glock and carry glock mileage down, and goto the old gen 1 17 every time for playing. It also has had less then a thousand rounds of factory ammo, and most likely over 40,000 rounds of reloads. Mine carries Novak bar/dot NS and the 3.5# stuff along with the newer extended slide stop. Skate board tape, actually the decal grip "sand" stuff makes it feel GREAT. decal grip I have had that stuff on for at least 5 or 6 years, maybe more and it has never peeled or been changed. |

Ive also got a 1st generation 17 that is my absolute favorite GLOCK. It was made in May of 1988. I replaced the adjustable sites and replaced them with Ameriglo night sights. I would love to find another gen 1 but they are getting harder and harder to find.
