well i took the plunge and got me a g17. i went to get the O.D. frame g17 but was $30 more and came with two nuetered 10 rd mags. the all black which followed me home came with the two 17 rnd mags. i was not too sure i liked the o.d. frame but it was kind of growing on me, but i settled for the all black. now i need to pick up some ammo and run her through the paces. how many of you guys carry a g 17 for ccw. i know the 19 would be a better choice for ccw but i wanted a 17. if so what kind of holsters are you guys using? i need to get some ideas so i can try some out and find out what fits. i may have to retire the sig220. thanks  SM |
Congratulations on the G17 my friend  I have one and I absolutely love it! Pick yourself up a case of WWB and have at it. My G17 was a little tight initially and needed 1000 rounds to break in. I had a stovepipe on round 1 and again around round 500. Since then she's gone 2500+ rounds without a hitch and has been through a class at Blackwater. I usually carry a G19 as a CCW but I've carryed my G17 occasionally in an OWB holster wearing a jacket over it. For my G17 I only have one holster and that is the Blackhawk CQC with SERPA. I like the holster so much I decided to buy one for my Kimber and another for my G19. The SERPA system takes a little getting used to but it is sweet once you spend a little time with it. Here's a link to the CQC holsters on EE: Blackhawk CQC Be sure to pick up some more magazines too. I generally keep 4 of the old 10 rounders on hand too and I use those for practice, IDPA and reload drills since they are always getting stepped on and what not. |

thanks for the holster recomendations guys. i will have to look into these.i really like the way this gun feels in my hands. i stopped after work and got 3 100 rnd value packs from wal-mart for this week end. good price tooly mine was 500 out the door and i had my 6 year old daughter with me when i bought mine. i think she was more excited than i was. nahhhh!!!

Nice! I plan on getting an OD G19 & an OD G17 next! |
Kids are great !!! My son said after school, "dad the heck with going home and having a snack and a drink let's go pick up the GLOCK 17 " He even told a friend in school, that he's picking up the glock today !!! so proud of my son ......

I passed up an OD green G22 for an all Black G17 at Oshman's today. They had both, it was a hard decision, but I went in set on a G17, hope I made the right choice. Of course, in time I'll get the ODG G22 btw, should I field strip it and clean it with CLP before I start shooting. I know with AR's you should always clean them if they're from the factory. -mark |

The manual says to field strip and clean but do not remove the copper color lube as this will help the pistol break in better. i am very pleased with it. i took it out yesterday and ran 100 rnds through her. not one single problem and accuracy was ammazing. hope you enjoy yours as much as i enjoy mine.
