Glock 17 Gen 5 For Sale – Best Handguns To Buy online

Nov 102017 In late August I covered the introduction of two new Glocks from the Gen5 line, the G17 and G19.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE GLOCK G17

While the new G17 looks largely the same, there are some notable differences.

with Glock 17 Gen 5 For Sale and the  Buy guns online with Glocks 17 Gen 5 need a break-in period of several hundred. I stressed this gun, enlisting the help of several of my fellow firearms instructors and students to help me in this endeavor. It did not fail. Not once, after close to 1,000 rounds.

This is no surprise for those familiar with Glocks; however, running various types of ammunition from different shooters through different drills, I began to notice some trends:

1. Trigger is smoother

People love the trigger. Glock 17 gen 5 the internals have been changed here and there, but the serviceable portion of that knowledge is the trigger is smoother. The transition from trigger reset to follow-up shot is a little quicker. With practice, this levelled out for me and I was able to not only get used to it, but take advantage of it.

2. Flat shot I could not believe how flat the G17 shot even compared to the Gen4 I carry on duty. Muzzle flip is the enemy of anyone who vies for accuracy from multiple rounds. After you pull the trigger, you have to contend with recoil. It tends to throw your sights off and you have to spend time establishing sight alignment and sight picture again. This Gen5 G17 shoots flatter than any production pistol I have ever shot before.

3. Ambi-slide stop lever I don’t care about the ambi-slide stop lever. I don’t utilize a technique that involves it, and I don’t teach people to use one, whatever side it’s on. But I applaud Glock for evolving their product and realizing that law enforcement isn’t their only market. The finger grooves on the grip never bothered me, but many people are happy with their demise.

4. Flared magwell

Glock 17 Gen 5 For Sale some other observations from multiple shooters related to newer features of the Gen5. The magwell is amazing. If you’ve ever been on the fence about whether a flared magwell is worth looking into, let me assure you, it is. It is surprisingly subtle. It’s not like you’re driving a motorcycle into an airplane hangar, but the difference is definitely noticeable.

5. Quicker reloads

Reloads are quicker and more solid. A drawback of Glocks, if you run your mags full, is potentially not having the magazine fully seat during a reload. This results in the magazine falling out when you pull the trigger instead of the bang you were hoping for. The flared magwell helps ensure good lockup when you ram that magazine home.

6. Orange follower

Another appreciated upgrade is the orange follower in the magazines. These clearly identify an empty mag through the chamber like never before. Additionally, they are visible in the round count “window” in the back of the magazine. The sights are traditional Glock, they are functional.

TOTAL PACKAGE

Between seven shooters and five different types of ammunition, the Gen5 G17 had no failures whatsoever. I did not clean the weapon between range days. Accuracy is said to improve with newer rifling in the barrel, but I did not test this specifically. I attributed much of my control to the improved trigger, but my groups were tighter.

A co-worker who shot the new model went out and bought a G19 afterwards. He appreciated the fact that Glock Blue Label was available and kept his cost well below $500. This weapon is ideal for any police officer on the street, particularly because of the 9mm caliber and adjustable grip size.
