Impd's new glock 17 having issues already?

[Kirk Freeman]

So far they are running like tops. These are NEW guns, the ones we had last year are gone forever. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Ameriglow sights that come with them. Shoots very nice.

All my Glocks wear Ameriglows. It really helps old eyes . . . like a friend of mine has.

Cool, thanks for the update. And thank you ladies and gentlemen for your service. I grew up in Southport and never thought we would lose a member of our town's police force like this. Thank you for rushing into danger when the rest of us get out of the way.

They do look a lot like the Trijicon HD sights but they are in fact manufactured by Ameriglo. The specifications for these were developed by Glock/FBI while coming up with the design/specs for the 17M.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info. I really like that sight set up, regardless of maker. I've put the Trijicon version on my P220, P226, and P229.

I get mine on 8/7.

Just waiting on the public release date of the gen5 which was supposed to be at shot show but all the bugs weren't worked out. No finger grooves .. It's about time

 

[jd4320t]

Glad to hear it's worked out. I can't wait to get one and try it out.

I don't get mine until Nov

Can't wait to hear how the new pistols do, and I can't wait to grab one!!! Woohoo!

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I get mine in 10 days.

About a month ago I had the opportunity to get my hands on one of these new 17M's. It was nicely refined and felt good in the hand and the sights were incredibly easy to pick up. The officer said that it shoots very smooth with very little muzzle flip. When field stripped it had a different recoil spring design than the G22.

I liked it enough that I would buy one if it were available

Kyle Lamb has a great article in Guns & Ammo this month. He made some critical comments about the Glock a few months ago and has been just savaged by the fanboys ever since. So he decides to insult everyone. He compares the Glock Fanboys with the way the 1911 fans reacted last generation to the Glock.

Seeing the type of person Kyle Lamb is, I'm sure he does not care too much about hurting "fanboy" feelings. JMHO

Get mine Wednesday at my in-service. Looking forward to it but now I have to see about trading all my spare G22 mags for G17 mags, and my ammo selection will be quickly obsolete, save for my off duty G27.

To further confuse things, my Ameriglo I-dot Pro sights on my M&Ps and Glocks have Trijicon tritium inserts from the factory. They say Trijicon on the sights, but I bought them brand new in the package as Ameriglos.

Glad the 17M pistols seem to be running well. I'd like to have a 19M one day if they ever release them. Hate...hate...hate the finger grooves on Gen 3 and 4 pistols.

No confusion at all, Trijicon is THE major player in tritium vials, many aftermarket sight manufacturers use Trij vials in their sights!

Just get 9mm followers.

Don't worry, somebody will be still be making fun of Glocks when their 100 yr old antiques too.

491 years of making a quality product doesn't stop people from complaining and spreading misinformation about Beretta, so I suspect you are right.

Assuming then that the mag spring is okay then? And that the round-count holes are off? (Not that that matters to me.)

It is awesome. Still getting used to the sights for
distances over 15 yards, but 15> I shoot it very well.

The mags aren't identical so just changing followers is not something I would recommend for a carry gun.. I have a 10 round G-23 mag that I use at the range in my 19. Works 98% of the time but I would not consider it for self defense work. Not that tough or expensive to find G 17 mags. When your life is on the line Mix-n-match is a bad idea.

Brownell's has a 3-pack of OEM G17 mags for. $53.99 (if you are a dealer or LE). Natchez Shooter Supply has them for less than $20/each as well.
