Glock 17
The Glock 17 is a short-recoil operated, striker fire pistol known for its reliability and simplicity. With a lighter weight and stronger construction than most other full-sized pistols, the Glock 17 has become one of the most widely used sidearms in law enforcement worldwide. Whether you are a first-time gun owner or a firearms expert, the Glock 17 is a clear favorite.
Look and Feel
Because Glocks were made to be heavily used, their frame construction is as sound as they come. Constructed from a high-strength polymer, the Glock 17 pistol is nearly impervious to corrosion caused by use, outside substances, and extreme temperatures. The barrel is covered by a treated steel that provides strength and rigidity without rusting.
The Glock 17 is larger than its Glock 19 cousin, boasting the following dimensions and weight:
- Length (Overall): 8.03”
- Length (Barrel): 4.49”
- Width: 1.26”
- Height: 5.47”
- Weight (Unloaded): 22.05 oz
The overall size and weight of this firearm make it perfect for precision in a pinch.
Action
The Glock 17 pistol comes stock with a safe action trigger system that adds a layer of safety, reducing the incidence of accidental trigger pull. The trigger is also known for a short travel and a crisp, clean break. Due to its lighter weight and longer barrel, there is only moderate kick when compared to other 9mm handguns making it a good choice for beginners and experienced shooters alike.
