OT - Glock 17 PTI arrives - pics and report

Post by O.S.O.K. »

Well, my Glock 17 police trade in from Bud's Gun Shop arrived in good order yesterday. It included the two mags shown replacement night sites (need new gas cylinders) and a hinged case w/ manual. Very nice. Shipped for $389 even.

I took it home and cleaned it up and it looks like a just broke-in new pistol. :D

Very little wear - the innerds look new. The mags are perfect. The bore was dirty, but cleaned up with a brushing and now looks like new.

Carried some and shot little. I'm very happy with it. PTI guns are the best!

Here are the pics:

Anybody wanting a good used G17, I can heartily recommend Buds.

The main reason that I decided on getting this is that I've got a Keltec Sub2000 in 9mm that uses the same mags and I have a bunch of them, so this will be me jeep gun with the Sub2000 stowed in the back cubby - just in case I'm on the road and I run into a hoard of charging tin cans or zombies ;)

Was going to take it to the range today, but I'm not feeling well - bad headache, on-and-off feaver and all achey - the whole family has had this - so maybe tomorrow if I feel up to it.

That looks in great shape! Every one should own a G17.

Congrats Jac! Hope you get to feeling better. Achey, fever and headache is no fun - especially when the whole family gets it!

I have (and CC) a 19. Love the thing. I've heard some claim accuracy issues with theirs but not mine. I've been giving the KelTec sub2000 a long hard look for a while now. If/when you post your report on the Glock; if you would mentions a few lines about the KT2k I'd appreciate it.

I had a G19 about 12 years ago - first gen. It was very accurate. I traded it for the Kahr-9 that I now use primarily for cc - mostly because its quite a bit thinner and better for my psyche - I don't worry about it printing....

As for the sub2000...

Check this out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRavtUA9gMs (notice, there is a little bit of language in this...)

No, that's not me - but this kid does a good review of the sub2000 and competition - very entertaining IMHO

This is me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYrEtyEpeLM (notice, ugly fat man)

I look a little goofy in some of the shots - heck a lot of em! :D But it shows you what the rifle is like to shoot and how it groups.

The biggest plus to the sub2000 is the ability to accept 33 round G18 (full auto Glock 17) mags. That is, the G17 model does. There are models that take keltec mags, smith & wesson mags and IIRC berretta mags too. And I now have a G17 to go with my sub2000, :) so I can interchange mags if desired.

I have my sub2000 primarily for plinking with an relatively inexpensive round and to have in my jeep's cubby when I'm on the road - as some insurance. It aims and fires and places rounds much better than a pistol and gives a little more energy than the pistol as well. I'd feel comfortable taking on bad guys at 150 yards with this carbine - but no further - just not enough poop and too much drop and loss of accuracy.
------------------------
Ysabel - thanks. I am the last one in the family to catch this... my wife had it just going into the Christmas holiday... :(
My case, so far does not include the sniffy nose and I'm hoping it doesn't - but the fever is very persistent. This is the kind of virus that gives a high fever and prior to the advent and availability of aspirin, this would probably kill people. So, once again, I thank God for living in my time...

O.S.O.K., you're an evil man. I found out this morning Bud's has the FFL of three shops within 15-20 minutes of me... :lol:

I'd be interested in that deal if they have G23's. I have a G19 and you couldn't talk me out of it for twice what I paid for it. It's my primary house and carry gun. It's very accurate and has not once failed to feed or fire.

Yes, go check it out - I think they do - they have several different models in the used gun section. http://www.budsgunshop.com

ETA - no, they don't have used G23's - but they do have a couple of G22's....

I've put 5000+ rounds through my G19 with one faiure to eject and I'm pretty sure that was my fault. I was shooting it weak hand lying on the ground and "limp wristed it"

Great pistols. I have the 19 and a 26. Still need a 17 to round out the collection.
