Some serious retro: Glock 17 Gen 1 available now

[spookshack]

The tungsten infused is awesome. I'd like to see that on a Glock. But people would complain about it being too heavy….. Bla Bla Bla.

I want a TXG Macro grip module! Come on Sig!

I'm waiting for the Gen 1 curtain rod to drop……

Haven't really ever appreciated the difference in the generations. I'm kinda anti Glock. For ignorant reasons. But what's really different? When did the drop these bricks? 30 years ago and they just upped the trigger? Can't get mad at Simple Jack….. he gets it done no matter how pretty.
I'm glad they are prominent and reliable. Diversity (besides caliber and size) I'm oblivious to. Until you drop another $500-1000 aftermarket.
I think you'd have to draw a picture for me, in order for me to understand the point of RETRO. Who's Simple really…?
That being said, I should have bought a Glock a long time ago. Because now I won't. Clones are good enough to satisfy the idea.

Retro...really ?
A pistol styled after one made in the 1980's...Hmmm...
As if that is old or retro....

Retro did you say...?
How 'bout a pistol made in the 1500's...?
I have a Wheellock pistol....the lock , furniture and inlays are antique originals....the stock and barrel are new.

In any event...
I could see some folks buying the pistol in the OP.
Maybe some Glock fans don't have an original 17 or perhaps they like the features of the original model over some of the new "perfections"....

I'm not anti-Glock, just like I'm not anti-cat- anymore.... Heck I'm considering a G20 for the 10mm experience. If I don't scratch that one with a HiPoint first. I gotta praise the new gen5 G19, fits me to a "T".
But, not unlike cats, I used to hate 'em for what they aren't. In the case of cats, dawgs, in the case of Glocks, St J.M.B designs made in Hartford or Liege. That said the Glock design has grown on me, and only time and use will show whether they will last as long as my 1911's and BHP's have...
That said, they will probably suit me fine until I run out the clock on this Earth..

I just bought a brand new Glock 17 gen 1. It's a beautiful thing to me 'cause I love Glocks. I personally can't wait to pick it up next week and take it out to the range. Sorry all you Glock haters but there are those who do appreciate this gem.

Are you going to use it or will it become a safe queen? I know the 1st and 2nd generation cannot accommodate and weapon light by default but they do sell aftermarket rail for them.

Oh I'm going to use it. I'll be taking it to the range weekly and will become my home defense gun. None of my guns just sit in my safe.

 

[nammac]

Wake me when they issue the Gen 2 Classic…

 

[crunchytaco]

Got G2 19 and 17 and they are good shooters. I have 1 weaponlight and it goes on my G3 and G4 and G5 guns. Never used the rail till last month!

 

[Kruel J]

Is that the early Glock 7? The German porcelain one that doesn't show up in airport XRay machines? I hear theyre pretty expensive.

I'd say more than you make in a month but I've seen enough of your build threads that I may be wrong.

 

[Kruel J]

it's just a Gen 6 in disguise. They just recycling and starting over. The fanboys will eat it up though. Haha. I'll stick with my G17 Gen 4.

LOL yeah hard pass. An unneeded gimmick.

 

[bzltyr]

I purchased two P80 when they came out consecutive serial numbers. Just sitting in boxes. Joy joy. Also! Previous post on Yugo, I'll take one.

"Sorry, I'm in marketing..."

 

[billdeserthills]

Maybe we'll see a new retro Yugo too!
