New Glock 17

[NullSyndrome]

Picked up a Glock 17 on thursday at Jenkins Supply under the "individual officer" pricing. $398 for a NIB Glock 17 4th Gen!! I already had a couple 33 round mags, so I decided I needed to the gun to go with them....

I had a link to the list of eligibles, I will find and post it here, It includes a suprising amount of people.

"hi cap mag"?!

Do you mean "REGULAR 17 rounds" and not the 10 rounds mag that non-free states have?

I dont want to sound like a smart ass but lets not speak like the media.

For me 10 rounds = low cap mag.
17 rounds = regular cap mag. (for the Glock 17)
33 rounds = fun cap mag

No hi cap mag in there, I never heard of them but on TV where they are evil mags used by cops killers according to the news.

Blue label Glocks (Gen 3 or 4) and most Gen 4 Glocks (blue label or not) come with 3 standard capacity magazines.

Yes, it did.

Here is a link to a non-Glock website (as far as I can tell) with an eligibility list. If interested, you might want to contact Jenkins here in Indianapolis to confirm eligibilty, model availability, and pricing. The eligibility list includes a fair number of people. Only certain dealers are in the program.

I don't know if I'd go THAT far. "High Cap Mags" is the standard, accepted term for the 17 round magazines for that model. Its not a 'media term' - its a dealer term.

Just saying...

Congrats on the new G17 gen 4.

I'd tend to agree with Sylvain. The dealer dialogue is residual language from the 1994 AWB and terminology that was coined or, at a minimum, made popular by the Clinton era ban.

Limited capacity = 10 round restricted magazines where there is physical capacity is restricted by nanny state laws.

Standard capacity = however many rounds will fit in the profile of the magazine.

High Capacity = Magazines that extend past the magwell of a pistol (30 round "happy stickers for G19/G17s) or in rifle mags where the capacity is higher than what may be issued to standard police or military capacity. Example: Surefire AR mags that hold 60 or 100 rounds.

Is it semantics? Yes. Is it silly? Maybe. Part of the assault on freedom is language based. Ever read 1984? You can systematically eliminate the opportunity for reasonable thought if you build a case that something is unreasonable based on the language one uses to attack the presented example.

Those who wish to restrict guns, on the left and on the right, are playing a linguistics game and are fully aware of the words they select when discussing firearms. We should consider doing the same.

Congrats, I purchased a G23 4th Gen last December from Jenkins and am very happy with it.

Thanks! and that avatar...so disturbing and yet I can't stop looking at it and wondering WTH?

$398 for a NIB Glock 17 4th Gen!!

Man, that's a great price! I have been seriously considering a G17 but that would have been the push I needed.

 

[revsaxon]

Man, at that price im almost willing to become to a cop...

 

[BlueEagle]

Yeah, Glock is really awesome with their Hero Program pricing.

 

[Fordtough25]

Nice price and you'll love the G17!! I enjoy mine!

 

[JStark6213]

I'm starting to get sucked into the whole Glock thing! Didn't used to be a big fan, now i have to say they are really growing on me

 

[NullSyndrome]

Man, at that price im almost willing to become to a cop...

Well, you don't need to be a cop. You can be active or retired military, certain private security firms, EMT, firefighter, the list is pretty long.

Too bad I'm still none of those. I have friends who are, but thats about it.
