Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol, a well-regarded option in its category, offers several notable strengths for shooters of varying experience levels. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance on target at typical handgun ranges. The ergonomic design facilitates a natural grip, enhancing control and comfort during extended use. Reliability is a key asset, with a proven track record of functioning effectively under diverse conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to ensure optimal performance. Availability of certain replacement parts may pose challenges, particularly for less common components. Additionally, some users might find the trigger pull, averaging around 5.5 pounds, slightly heavier than preferred for quick follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most, though it may feel pronounced for newer shooters. Overall, this firearm remains a solid choice, balancing performance with practical considerations for everyday use.

Differences between the first batch of Glock 17 Ge
By MrH9mm on 08 Sep 2021
It should be noted that the Glock 17 Gen 5 first batch of releases had no front slide serrations and has a half-moon cut out on the front grip. The front slide serrations were added after initial consumer complaints about the lack of front serrations as well as the removal of the half-moon cut out due to complaints. I believe in time this first batch of Glock Gen 5's will become collectable, due to the changes in the early stages of the Gen 5 release.
