I think the 17 is at least as accurate as the 92G I used to own, and more accurate than any of the .40 cal Glocks.

Uh , your gonna have to explain this to me  . I have .40's and 9mm and I don't see any difference in accuracy .

now back on topic .
I have a G19 that is way more accurate than a 92fs that I had  and the 17 has a longer barrel .
I have a 9mm conv barrel in my G22 and it's deadly accurate .
Hope that helps .

I've got both. I've never shot them in a ransom rest so I can't comment on mechanical accuracy. Functional accuracy (in my hands), I get the same groups if I do my part.

I can't speak in terms of MOA, but I can hit a silouette sized target at 100 yards with my 17 as long as I do my part w/ trigger control.

It will be every bit as accurate as you are.

This.



As far as "inherent mechanical accuracy potential", I'd venture that the G17 would be just as accurate as a 92.

Same here I have both. The G17 is a little better in my hands. Likely cause of the trigger.

I have a 92FS and a Glock 19.  I've done my best bullseye type shooting with the G19...maybe because I practice with it more.  They're both outstanding guns.

With enough practice you won't be disappointed in the accuracy from any Glock.

If you're just blasting away at 30 feet caliber won't matter. If you can shoot groups at 25 yards, it seems to.
The Glock 35 that I used to own would not group any better than 5-6 inches at 25 yards. I owned a Glock 20 at the same time and had no trouble getting groups under 3 inches at the same distance, so recoil was not the problem. My 17L would do 2 inches with some loads. My new Glock 19 looks like it's going to be another tack driver.
The only great accuracy I ever got with .40 in Glocks was with a conversion barrel in my G-20.
Granted, my old G-35 was an early 'E' series with the large chamber, and the newer ones may be better.
I've shot a 22 and didn't have any better luck.
Sigs and XD's shoot .40 real well though.

It's all about the personal shooter preference.

I'm accurate as hell with a 9mm Glock.
Pretty good with the .45 Glock
Not so accurate w/ BIL's .40 Glock.

yeah i can shot don't get me wrong. i do pretty good with the glock i have and 9mm seems to be a lil more accurate to me. i think it is mainly the recoil that throws off my groups with the 40 for one cause i have big mitts and for two cause the gun is light. i have a 1911 i can make some great groups with, that i think is probably cause the gun is heavy, i like all the rounds that i shoot on a regular basis, but some guns play a role too. and as far as how accurate a gun is playing a role in me buying said gun, i look at it this away if a firearms has shitty accuracy you might as well be carring a 2-3#  anchor on your hip.

hmmm...my 22 is pretty damn accurate. i doubt a 17 could out shoot it.

the beretta has no advantage over the glock, a 92fs has the same sight radious as a G19, so the G17 will have more, not to mention the trigger on the beretta
