First Glock.

[Dropkick Murphy]

Two weeks ago I purchased my first Glock. I purchased a G26 for EDC. I liked it so much I went back and got a 4th generation G17 today.

First picture is EDC setup.

Nice Gun Porn!!! How do ya like shoot'n the 4th gen 17 ? Is it as "sweet" as everyone says? Oh, welcome to the "Glockside":devil:

Nice, I love glocks. I have a 2nd gen 22 and was considering one of the new 4th gens. Let us know how it shoots.

Let me get you a glass. :koolaid: I love my Glocks.

I only have one Glock and am jealous of you guys with multi ones. (I'm also hot to have a 1911)

The 4th gen shoots pretty nice. The interchangeable back-straps improve the feel of the handgun for me, as well as makes it easier to shoot. I have small hands and I have always stayed away from Glock for this reason.

The new texture on the frame is a huge improvement over the 3rd generation.

I know they didn't do anything to the trigger, but for some reason the G17's trigger feels better than my G26. No idea why. Perceived perhaps.

And last, shoot-ability. The accuracy between the XDM and the new G17 is the same for me. No change in accuracy. I still suck.

What kind of grip tape do have on there?

Congrats! I love my 26 and can't wait to get a 4th Gen!

What kind of grip tape do have on there?

It's called Decal Grip. I got it at G&L for 10 bucks. I would have just gone to a skateboard shop but seems those are rare here in Tennessee.

I'm a little more confident drawing with my G26 now that it has the tape on there. I felt like I was going to drop it every time I drew my weapon. And I only put half of the pieces that come in the package, as your palm only touches one side or the other of the grip.

Also, one of my biggest complaint about Glocks was the serrations, with the added grip tape it feels a lot better.

Pluto Sports in Knoxville is a skateboard shop.

Congrats! Like everyone else said, let us know how that Gen 4 G17 performs...

[Guest Ae-35]

Ah crap..... now I've got to save up for a gen 4 , a 17 in OD green !!! To match my 19. Not to change the subject, but does anyone remember seeing the g23 in "carbon fiber" color? looked at one when I bought my 19 back in 04, dealer said it was a limited run in that color, never have seen another. If it had been a 19 I WOULD have bought it!!

Good pics. Thanks for the effort.

Think you've got 9mm covered pretty good now.
