Good ol' Glock. That operator is actually running a very "unique" CQB setup with the optic as far back on the rail. That's gotta be a 10.5? |

I'm not fond of the stock m17 but it is really quite nice after dropping a bit of money into it. Honestly I would still be using the g17 if it was still available to me just based on the fact I didn't feel the need to put any personal money into it like I have with the m17, if that makes sense. |

IMO the M1811 is way more comfortable and points more naturally. I don't have them in front of me but from what I remember the M1811 has less texture compared to the WC but not so much that I feel like I can't get a good purchase on it. I've thought about wrapping it with hockey tape. |

For you guys who actually own the P320 POW M17/M18 that is sold only to LE and Mil. at Proven Arms, other than being able to buy it and it being limited in quantities, is there any other reasons why this version costs more than the standard P320 M17/M18?
I have them in my shopping cart at Proven Arms and just trying to see if there are any other major differences I am not aware of other than the limited availability/cost. |

View Quote I have a Civie 17 and 18 and I wouldn’t give either up, but the military version/ over-run has a few features I really like. Fit feel and function is considerably better than the civie. The .mil comes with a pre-tensioned barrel, read that as match fit barrel. All parts are made in the U.S. as per the .mil contract and because it is purpose built it is designed to run the new Romeo M17 site which destroys all Red Dots currently on the market. I now have 2 POW M18s and a M17. Well worth it. Don’t miss out on these. Cp |

You guys sold me on one M17. Will have to go back for the M18 in the near future (I hope due to availability).

View Quote I posted a comparison of the military and commercial M17s here, if that’s helpful at all. I can tell you that the slide and barrel lockup on the military model definitely feels tighter than the commercial version, and it doesn’t have the “soft” feel of the lighter recoil spring. I’m really glad that I got one, and I’m going to order an M18 as soon as the budget allows. Obviously you’ll have to decide if the difference warrant the extra cost, but I’m personally glad that I had the opportunity to get the military model. |

What happened that led to the G17s not being an option anymore? and were the G17s milled for deltapoints or were they MOS plate system
