Well I lucked out. Worked out a straight local trade for a Gen3 G17. It was in slightly nicer condition than my Trade piece and came with brand new TruGlo night sights. Perfect. Just tossed my Streamlight on for fun.
I only had $250 in my Gun I traded, so I ended up with a very low round county near new condition Glock 17 with night sights for half of what it was worth. So what are the "must do" mods for these? I plan on it being a range shooter, and pistol training gun.

Quoted:
dont mod it, you've got a great weapon there. shoot it and enjoy. what'd you trade for it? I actually traded a G23 for it. But I only owned the G23 for a few days. My buddy was needing some cash. And his wife wasn't stoked about him having a gun, so he said he'd sell it to me for 250. I wasn't interested in owning a .40, so I told him I'd do it just to trade it for what I wanted. I was in the market for a g17 anyways, so it worked out well. |

Or bite the bullet and buy enough to get free shipping when an online vendor has a deal.
Local prices on Glock mags are still set as if a ban was imminent. So I'm shopping online. When I can find a place with $25 mags and free shipping above $100 or $150, I'll stock up. |

I did! 
I was very happy with end result. Just need to get a few more mags and some range time now I guess! Also, what's a good holster for doing tactical courses or 3gun? Quoted:

| I just picked up a gen4 G17 myself a few days ago. I ordered Trijicon HD's and a streamlight tlr1hl for it. The 3.5lb connector sounds like a worthwhile investment as well. I cant stand the stock sights so I took advantage of SKD's veterans day sale and picked up the Triji's. |
