Love this weapon...I carry as my duty weapon, very dependibe, safe and accurate....plus the mag capicity when things hit the fan

VERY EASY TO SHOOT. COMFORTABLE TO HOLD; IT JUSTS FITS RIGHT IN MY HAND.

I love my Glock 17! It has yet to fail me for any reason. It has been more dependable than other pistols I own. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Works for me.

Great firearm that you wouldn't have to second guess. The compensated barrel is an awesome addition also.

I have carried my Glock for years its a 1st Generation the only things ive done to it is tritium sights and a grip on the handle. Reliable to a T. I wish i could carry it when I'm on duty as a MP or when I was in Iraq.

Easy to use and maintain with enough accuracy and stopping power to drop the bad guys.
Think SHOT PLACEMENT!

Very acurate right out of the box low recoil.

Easy handling, reliable, very low recoil, easy to clean, accurate. I have purchased the best night sights to make it a perfect gun. Paid $398 for the gun and about $90 for the best night sights (law enforcement pricing). I don't think that I would ever want a different gun.

Reliable. Comfortable grip. Easy to break down and maintain.

This was my first duty weapon out of the academy. I learned alot with that pistol. One of my top 3 pistols ever.

I like Glocks this gun is my second gun I have bought. My first Glock was a Model 21 45.

I have 6 guns, 4 of them are handguns. My Glock was the first gun I bought and it is still my favorite. It is also the most accurate handgun I have. Most people say you should have a .40 caliber or bigger, but bigger is not better if you can't shoot accuratly.

I will start by saying that all Glocks are an excellent choice for a firearm. Reliability is its best feature, no matter what the condition and situation my Glock has never once Jammed or came even remotely close to letting me down or disappointing me in any way, shape, or form. Like most cops, I have extensive experience with many handguns. By far my "Glock 17" is the most well rounded and versatile pistol that I have ever had the pleasure to carry. To those that balk about knock down power with the 9mm, I say, choose your ammo wisely and learn to shoot the weapon you carry. On or Off Duty this weapon is my primary weapon.

Issued Sidearm for FWPD. Proven in training...Proven in combat...

i have never had a problem with this firearm. its parfact for a blond with no gun experience.

Great weapon to carry on or off duty!! Light weight and accurate which are key for deploying it and saving yours or your partner's ass!!

I give this weapon five stars because it's simply the best at what it's designed for. The first time I shot one, I hated it, especially after being raised on 1911 pattern weapons. And I still have to compensate for the grip angle vs. Colt and every other manufacturer on the planet. But if you want a weapon with superior reliability, easy to master controls and strong resistance to harsh environments, the Glock is the answer. For the average person, this weapon is excetionally easy to become proficient with. Though not necessarily the best choice for highly trained specialized units, it is popular amongst tactical types, again due to it's low maintenance/high reliability characteristics. Forget "racking in" an 18th cartridge. Glock offers +2 mag extensions which don't protrude and give the weapon a true 20 round capacity with one in the chamber. The only thing more reliable than a Glock is a crowbar and they will rust easier than this pistol! Five stars all the way!

Excellent weapon no gadgets to fiddle with. One of the best out of box shooting guns there is.

I HAVE TWO FOR S.W.A.T. AND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF TO THEM ONE I HAVE HAD FOR TEN YEARS AND IT HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN!!!
GREAT GUN FOR POLICE

Great Gun! Easy to use and clean. Always dependable. New for $445 at guns plus in surprise az w/case and three mags for military/police purchase only.

This one of the best G's. Be carful with reloads. Never had much luck with reloads

If I couldn't have my choice in firearms I wouldn't cry if I were issued this gun. It's ok but I'm not the biggest Glock fan.

Do I like it..... OF COURSE I DO!! It is a Glock ain't it??? LOL Best brand of weapon available for LEO's everywhere.

Awesome gun.... its a glock!!! what do you expect

We are issued Glock 17 9mm through our Department (Joliet,Il). The weapon (if you like Glocks)functions pretty good. Not my first choice, but we have to make good with what we are offered. I would prefer (and the majority of the Department) to upgrade to at least the .40 cal. We have had past shootings where the 9mm has hit a bad guy and he was still able function and return fire before dying. Need a caliber with more beef. The Glock serves the Department well because it is easily maintained by an armorer (Glock has a class).

This weapon is one I carry on duty everyday, and in my opinion it's a excellent weapon.

Got to Love the Large Capacity

I did not like the Glock until a friend of mine took me out to shoot his. I now own a Glock 17 and I feel safe having it around. It is a good gun. i also like having the 3 high capacity mags. It is also comfortable to hold.

It is a glock!

It works, no matter how much grief you give it.

Had this weapon for 11 years and it has not once failed, jammed, or otherwise malfunctioned. Great weapon.

A fantastic firearm, the Glock 17 develops small groups even at range. This is a wonderful gun to shoot down at the range. The kick is minimal, and even less experienced shooters are likely to get a lot of benefit from this handgun. Sports comfortable grip and maintains control from start to finish.

for one it holds 18 rounds ,the trigger ajustment ,it's pretty , and it was one of my first firearm.

Good shootin’ gun, it will fire dirty, dry, and after being run over by a military truck... It is very accurate, but more importantly it is reliable and easy to use. Nothing to think about, point and squeeze.

I had mine for 7 years and it has been in several floods at it works.. I like the KISS thinking when it comes to things.

The Glock is a no brainer! Just point and shoot. No decocking and safety lever crap. This firearm has been tested and worked under water. If you can't hit the target with this one, you need your eyes checked!

Excellent Firearm. Very accurate, low recoil. Highly recommendable!

Excellent Firearm, accurate, easy maintenance, epic durability, adaptable to most law enforcement applications.

I carry The Glock 17 on duty it has never failed me even after having been in the most adverse of conditions

shoots awesome

Easy to handle with a smooth trigger pull and great accuracy. The best handgun I've shot, by far.

Glocks are the best. They are all the same. If you can shoot one you can shoot them all. Another good thing about glocks for those of us in California is that almost every model is on the approved list. Right now I have the 17 and I'm going to buy the 27 (.40 cal subcompact)

This gun can take a beating and fire everytime. Very dependable handgun. Easy to disasemble and clean.

I have used this firearm for many years and it has never failed me. It is a reliable firearm.

If I knew I was going into a firefight and had to choose a handgun it would be a Glock! I love this weapon and trust it with my life!

This is the workhorse of combat pistols and the one that started them all. It's way more accurate than you can ever be and it eats any type of 9mm you can fit in the mag without a hang. If you're doing your portion of the firing corectly, this weapon will never let you down.

Never had any problem with it. It'll work under any environment you can work in and then some.

The first handgun I ever carried on the job. It was a first generation and was ugly! But I miss it! Always reliable when others weapons were always messing up on the range, my 17 just kept on going! High capacity and durable! Tough as nails.

I recently qualified firearms training for a new job with this weapon. These guns are rented from a dealer by the village for this purpose. Everyone uses this weapon whether you have your own or not. Theses guns have untold thousands of rounds put through them. Students who have never even held a weapon were able to handle this quite easily. My only complaint if it is even that is the take down procedures, I have never been able to become proficient at this with a glock. Still one of my all time favorites.

I just bought a Glock 17, and I I love it. It is easy to carry, shoot and clean. It is very accurate right out of the box.

Carried this on duty. Love it for dependability and ease of use. Also worked well when officers were switching from revolvers to semi-autos. I fired 3 out of the box and scored 300 with all of them.

i didn't like glocks at first but after using this gun, i don't go anywhere with out it. i trust it's accuracy and dependability.

Great low maintenance weapon

Awesome firearm...its the AK of the handgun world! I do wish they could do something about the AD rate though with these...

After 11 years of carrying a revolver as a duty weapon, the Gloc 17 was my first 9mm handgun. I've been carrying it on-duty for 6 years now and the only reason I would chnage is to go to a higher caliber Gloc. It has never failed. Even after being submerged in the muddy water of the south Louisiana Coast.

The Glock 17 is a great side arm and with the high capacity magazine you will be ready for the fight.

Great weapon. It's 9mm but it still has the power to get the job done. 17 rounds in a mag, and 2 more on your belt. 52 rounds total. If you need more, then the S.W.A.T. team should be on the way.

It's a great "duty" weapon, but comp level shooting it sucks. I'm issued this weapon so I use it but as far as accuracy *thumbs down*. I wish I could use my 1911..I can fricking hit a fly at 15 yards.

3 # Trigger, night sights, 19 round mags, Great weapon.. I own one !!

Best friend in dark places. The only woman I love as much as my wife.

Nice gun

GLOCK ROCKS!!!!!!!

its a GLOCK! enough said!

I've been working long enough to have started with a wheel gun. the Glock is the best weapon I've ever owned and carried. 65% of the departments in the U.S. are carrying Glocks.

My brother has this weapon and it is one sweet shooting piece. I'm gonna get one if my wife doesn't beat me to it.

i had to use a glock 17 for a shooting compition it was terrible, i dont like it at all and perfer my sig =)

I carry the Glock 23 as my duty weapon. It shoots great and feels just as good in my hands. Very dependable

Excellent Weapon

I have had mine since beofre I was a LEO. I have put 60,000 + rounds through it and can count on one hand the number of times it has malfunctioned. It has been a great weapon, easy to maintain and simple to disassemble.

I love my 17, never have issues. A very tough firearm. Never leave home without it.

Always fires, never jams. Just remember to rotate your mags to keep the springs fresh.

I love this weapon and its reliability. I have been caring this weapon since 1997 and still carry it on and off duty. What is your life worth to you? I put my life and the protection of my family’s life on my glock. I know it will fire anytime I need it.

easist gun to shoot, and to train someone to shoot with. and 17 round mags

lots of ammo, indestructible. ULTRA reliable, even when dirty as hell. Takes thousands of rounds without hanging up.

Easy to field strip. Reliable. Very good weapon.

Awesome weapon... I have had no problems yet...

Never a problem

The Good:
Reliable. Lightweight. Ergonomic. Issued.

The Bad:
Big.

My department just got these guns and they are great. I would rather have this over the SIG P220 we did have any day.

Been carrying my 17 around here in Iraq for the past four years. Never had a malfunction when I have needed it, though it is strictly a back up for my M4, I can always count on it to function.

Our Department just swapped from the Glock 22 .40cal to the G17 9mm. In my opinion DUMB move. Normally you want to go up in caliber not down, but hey what do I know. After shooting it, it is still a glock, which I LOVE. But the 9mm round SUCKS!!!!!!! Had to shoot a deer the other day took 3 rounds which normally would have only took 1 from the .40 I guess saving a few bucks on ammo is better than my safety.

carried a 17 for 17 years and never had a problem. i think its the best gun on the market

I absolutely love Glock! We just changed over to the Glock 17 from the 22. It's easier to qualify, I believe, in part due to less recoil. The grip feels to me to be slightly smaller which fits a little better into my hands. Great gun!

Great weapon

This is the last handgun in the Force. I used it in Kosovo, A good and reliable one, but no safety blocking switch, Must be careful,

As most everyone knows, glocks are extremely tough and reliable guns. You can do just about anything to them and they will still fire. However, there are some attributes to them that some people just don't like. For example, I find the glock to be a little bit clumbsy because it is top heavy. The lightweight plastic handle is vastly different compared to the heavy metal slide. In addition, I find the glock slighty more difficult to control than other guns, like the beretta 92. The glock feels like it has a little more kick which I think is due to the difference in weight and how top heavy the glock is. Still, the glock is extremely low maintenance and very easy to field strip, which makes cleaning a breeze. Basically, it consists of four components, the handle, the slide, the barrel, and the spring. Overall, the glock is a solid firearm and a good choice for anyone who wants to shoot. It just has little differences that some people may find more or less aesthetically pleasing than on other guns - just a matter of personal preference.

Just finished Indiana State Police firearms training with this gun. My first gun used "extensively", first gun used for most other recruits. no complaints here. When a trainer can get 8 recruits who have never fired a gun to hit center mass consistently after 2 days of training, the gun has something to do with it.

This is an awesome piece of equipment. We just went to it and are very impressed considering its just a 9mm. Tough little gun.

First weapon I ever fired. It was so easy to shoot I began to love shooting....hence the LEO

First gun I was issued as a cop. I now have my own. Love the feel and the way it shoots. Extremely accurate.

My IPSC, IDPA competition gun.......

Sweet piece!

AWESOME!!!VERY RELIABLE!

Had this weapon for over 15 years and never had one problem.

had one of the first generation prior to being issued it. loved it, never had any issues with the weapon.

I have one of my own. I love this gun! Easy to train with, very durable!

Love this gun. My first glock and I'm sold on glock for now. Very easy to disassemble and reassemble.Have over a 1,000 rounds through it and no jams what so ever.

great overall weapon. I've used it as my primary firearm for years. Just recently switched to the Glock 22.....which is just as good!

Best handguns hands down. Simplicity and firepower. LEO's cannot ask for a better "partner" at your side. Glocks are a quantum leap above the antiques of yesteryear.

Glock armories have yet again made a sturdy pistol for Law Enforcement. Overall good on duty weapon. Extremely light and accurate and handles well on medium range targets. Comes with a 17 round magazine wich is a reasonable amount of cartridges for a LEO, but can hold 18 if desired.

The Glock 17 was such a large difference from the Kahr i had used first, it had a smooth trigger pull, the recoil was much easier on the hand. accurate as well which made my day.. what is humorous is that the easy of use was so great it was discomforting. that allow would not allow the drop of a start the only true problem i found the Glock 17 had was that it had too little punch for primary carry, and too much weight for Every Day Carry. aside from that it's a marvelous gun.

It's the first choice for a handgun. Reliable, easy to clean, accurate, just a dream. The magazine carry is great, 17, or 18 if you rack it. I love it.

Never fail me when I need it.

CARRIED IT FOR YEARS, GOOD GUN BUT DOESN'T KNOCK EM DOWN LIKE SOME OTHERS...

It's a GLOCK..... 'Nuf said. We issue the 17-C (Compensated Model) a real tack driver.

Love the Glock.

I love my Glock 17 it's never failed me! I carry this on duty with no worries! I just wish I could afford a .40 cal Glock ! No saftey to worry about being on ... streamlined with no crap on the slide to get caught on clothes. A++

Being one of the first Glock, I tested them in San Diego with Military Police, Seal team members and it never failed ,not once. Reminds me of the old school saying,,, If it ain"t broken don't fix it.

I think Glock is one of the best Firearms made the Glock 17 is the Glock of my choice I've carried mine for 4 years

I have to first admit that it took me a long time to get on the Glock bandwagon. In fact I believe it was in the next state over before I managed to catch up with it and jump on board.
Having said that I absolutely love this firearm. It is rugged and dependable. The capacity is outstanding a 18+1. It is a nine, but having had combat experience my philosophy is if you need more than a 9mm then you need a long gun, not a handgun. I also like how simple this weapon is. Anyone with a little time and a allen key set can completely disassemble and repair anything on this weapon except for the frame and slide. Add to that the fact that all of the parts are inexpensive and readily available and you have the ultimate user serviceable weapon.
I love it and I trust my life to it every day.

Simple, accurate, durable, dependable. Nothing else to say this weapon speaks for itself.

I trained with the Glock 17 in the academy. It's a no nonsense pistol and very reliable.

Very durable, very reliable piece of equipment. Carried this weapon for past 9 years and never had a malfunction (knock on wood).

Carried one for 12 years..........Never jammed, alway reliable........Rain, snow, heat, and cold weather......Best duty gun ever!

A great gun! I carried one for many years, first as an authorized personal weapon and then as an issued sidearm. Remarkable reliability and easy to maintain.

Very reliable weapon! I bought the extended mags which allowed a few more rounds (2+1 in the pipe) and carry with a shoulder holster with two additional mags (51 rds. total) and retrofitted a hi-power laser. The gun is light enough to carry all day without dragging you down and reliably performs w/o malfunction. Needs to be loved by oil as firing many rounds tend to dry the slide around the barrel potentially causing "stove-pipe" or worse, seizing. If your mission includes multiple targets, this is a good gun to have. Knock-down rating is 6/10 but if your a good shot, round placement will do the defense it is designed for. Functions with dirt or heavy carbon if you don't get opportunities to stop for awhile.

this is just a great all around firearm

I have carried several 9mm semi-auto pistols in my career and am of the opinion that the Glock 17 is the best of the bunch. It has always functioned flawlessly for me and is very accurate. I am also perplexed by the reviews of individuals who constantly speak to the knock down power of a 9mm. And yet as a homicide detective, I have worked more homicides which were perpetrated by .22 and .25 midnight specials. It is certainly more about where you place your rounds than how large the projectile happens to be. I have been a cop for 21 years and have personally investigated cases where a .22 versus a .45 left the .22 victim almost dead on scene and the ..45 victim walking away with a very minor wound. If you are looking for the perfect duty, off-duty or self-defense weapon, the Glock 17 is your pick of the litter. I could not more heartily recommend this semi-auto pistol and have carried one for the last six years.

i like how this gun shoots

reliable, dependable and a proven firearm. Can be used for any situation. magazine capacity is awsome

I love my Glock. It's my first handgun. It was the 2nd one I ever shot. Grew up with rifles. My first one was a .357 and I did not like it. This gun is very easy to clean and was very each to teach my 14 year old sister how to use! It's never far from me.

This is the best gun i have used. very reliable.

One of the best 9mm I've ever owned.I've never had a jam or misfire. When I fisrt purchsed this weapon I shot it evey day, 50 to 100 rounds as fast as I could, never a problem.Easy to handle and easy to get use to.

Extremely tough gun never had a misfire. Fun to carry, great conversation piece

Fired this gun while in flight after being struck by a fleeing suspect (vehicle) scooped up and then dumped on the roadway at 20 mph. 11 rounds in 2.9 seconds. No malfunctions, accurate and reliable. Downside, 9 mm 147 grain ammo.

The glock also is my on duty weapon i love it hasnt failed me at been using it for 6 yrs switch from ruger which was to heavy

Glock has made an excellent firearm for police officer. I have had other duty weapons ( Smith&Wesson 9MM, 5906 and Sig 229) but Glock has been the best so far.

I went to this from a Smith and wesson 59 series. I love it the only problem I have with it is that I have small hands and it is a rather large gun it doesnt feel great in my hand but otherwise I love it

The ultimate handgun, if you can have only one gun take this, you won't regret it!!!

Never let u down!! Perfect for my hand and for my soul as I have it with me!!

My first duty auto and I still have and carry it today after 20+ years. Mine has no rails or finger grooves like the current ones, but I cannot find a single bad thing to say about this weapon. I can and do count on it for my life and love it. I have a Sig P228 that is now my duty gun, but that's because the department moved to Sig. My Glock still gets worn and when I qualify I normally bring it and run the course with it as well. Even after all this time and only one jam with factory ammunition, I still shoot 238+/240 with my trusty G17. When it's my time I'll die still owning this gun.

Love it,People i know was trying to get me to get the 9mm Barreta but the min i had test fire it jamed and long story short it was bad lol,I have glock 19 that i love but thise one tops it off very nice never jams on me and all aroned fun to shoot :) Just got to love glock's and don't cost alot of money!!!

thanks

When traveling to parts of the world where .45ACP is not readily available (anywhere but the US) for work I carry a Third Gen 17. Great weapon. Couldn't say anything bad about it if I tried. I trust my life to it without question.

Great gun

I carry this every day for work and thank god i have not had to use it... sure, this Block will fire any ammo you want to put through it but geez, i'd like the rounds to go where the weapon is aimed... i clean all my weapons after every use and this thing still collects more dust in the barrel than the top of my TV... i've put several hundreds of rounds down the tube and it is still shooting. (reason there is at least two stars) the 9mm is a wimpy round but i cant really blame the weapon for that. overall, this is a very dependable firearm consistency-wise, but i just wish it was consistantly accurate!

Great Gun

reliable, accurate, and high capacity.

Affordable, reliable and simple. I rarely leave home without my Glock 17. High ammo capacity makes up for the small caliber projectile, although the 9mm is one of the most accurate calibers in a handgun in my opinion. Easy maintenance and best of all, Glock's lifetime warranty.
