I got this in an email:


well cared for glock 17 standard size, pre-ILS feature.  1999 i think


What the hell does that mean?  I understand that the gun is a Glock 17 and made in or abouts 1999.  What does the "pre-ILS feature" part mean?

I've owned Glocks for years but don't know what the acronym "ILS" means.

Explain me a learning(s), sil vous plait.  Danke.

Well, shit.  Now I gotta Google what the hell thatis.

What would make a 1999 Glock 17 different from a 2003 Glock 17, 2000 Glock 26, and 2007 Glock 19?

Is it anything noticable?

I'm going to plop down the $300 for this Glock 17 and assume that it's good-to-go.

the glock internal locks are an option; not too many i would think in the US opt for em

all the glocks listed in those years would, if i remember correctly, fall as "3rd Generation" glocks that have the rail, 2 pin block system, finger grooves, and probably the improved extractor w/ loaded indicator (except for the 1999, which might still sport the old extractor or be a 2nd gen, but i get my yrs confused)--your regular glock you see today

$300 for ANY glock imo is good to go; i'd get it in a heart beat--great buy

FWIW: ask for a pic or re-clarification to be sure, but i'd still get it irregardless

Stupid little lock that uses a stupid little key to keep the slide from moving to the rear and locks the trigger.

My HK USP had it and I never used it. It's kind of stupid.

i thought it was an abbreviation for the sort of explosive used.


EDIT: Yeah i'd spend $300 on a glock.
