Glock 17 - big pics

[Cardinal]

Got bored yesterday and snapped off some pics of my Glock 17. Not really the holy grail of cool, decked out weaponry, but nonetheless an excellent, superb handgun in which I have complete trust.

Enjoy.

Always a great handgun...nice shots woot

[tenda]

...one of the best handgun of the world...!!!!!!! :P

How does the gun laws in Belgium work? How strikt are they?

It might not look very pretty, but it get's the job done. Or so I've heard.
Any gun that the Swedish military uses, is good in my book.

[scrybe]

I think they look pretty damn good, actually. Form, function, and reliability; you can't go wrong.

[American Patriot]

Nice sidearm.

Gun control means using two hands.

[Lone]

As i recall you work for the justice department, right?

[AlexNenadic]

It might not look very pretty-

What the hell are you talking about, its beautiful. :D

[Cardinal]

As i recall you work for the justice department, right?

Yep.

It is brand new; oval mag. release and the code AC on the tritium sights.
AC > year 03.

My duty pistol is also a Glock 17 with minor adjustments;

- Longer slide release
- Oval mag. release
- 28 newton firing spring
- Tritium Glock sights

We use the speer 124 grain +p gold dots. I don't like the men pep.

I just scratched the grip in a street fight :fork:

[Cardinal]

It is brand new indeed. I recently got a Glock tactical light to mount on the rail, I'll try to take a few pics of that too.

[EffJi]

THIS is beautiful (the top one).
Besides, Cardinal himself said that he didn't think the gun was very pretty. What it lacks in beauty, it gives back in efficency.

[Cardinal]

i must say that it looks great with the taclight attached to it ;)

[One_A]

Any one with experience on the Glock 37?

[Virus]

my bro just got a para-ordnance in .40sw....ooomg it looks like *** :O...but so do glocks :D imho atleast

[Glock]

:D Nice Pics

[FozzieBear]

i love the glock :P i dont think its ugly at all, anyway nice camera work bro :) thanks for the pics

[Nedflanders]

I have a Glock 17 as my sidearm. It is a brill and reliable weapon. We have the New York trigger and illuminated sights. The long arms I use are H+K MP5, H+K 33 5.56mm and the H+K G3 7.62 mm. Rumour is that we are getting the new G36 soon to replace our 33s.

We have some of the best weaponry in the world at our disposal for policing duties.

NF.

[Deicide]

Awesome pics ! woot

However a rear view of the glock 17 is missing (in particular with sights aligned would be welcome)

If all the guys here could do the same thing with their weapons, this forum will be fantastic :|

Tnx again Cardinal !

[Nedflanders]

Just taken.

[American Patriot]

I would take a pic of my G19 but it's just a dirty old generation two.

[Beardog]

The markings on your barrel EOR; your glock was made in january 2003.
The E stands for january, the O for 0 and R for three.

I will try and post some pics of my Glock.

[Cardinal]

http://users.pandora.be/tron/misc/glock/15.jpg

Not very sharp, i'm sorry. I haven't got the glock with me at the moment, it's in the vault at work.

[Digital Marine]

wouldnt this gun melt in Iraq or something.. it looks like plastic... :roll: :roll:


please correct me if im wrong.. im here to learn p-)

[Cardinal]

The Glock has a polymer frame and a steel slide. I wouldn't know if the polymer melts in extreme heat (I highly doubt it), but we seldom pass 30 degrees Celsius in Brussels ;-)

[American Patriot]

The frame is made from a plastic called nylon 6.. I have no clue what that means other than it's very strong and has a high melting point.

[Geezah]

I have a Glock 17 as my sidearm. It is a brill and reliable weapon. We have the New York trigger

What is a New York trigger, this is a new one on me, never heard that term before?

P.S.Welcome ;)

[Cardinal]

Lighter trigger pull if I'm not mistaken.

New York trigger is an 8 pound disconnector and spring. The heavier trigger pull is supposed to make it harder for a negligent discharge to occur.. yeah its dumb.

New York trigger is an 8 pound disconnector and sprint

Is this something that's well known amoungst Glock owners, because I was clueless as to exactly what it meant but I had an idea?

[Cardinal]

Ow, heavier trigger pull. I learn every day ;)

[Sloppy Joe2]

i dont know i am a bigger .45 fan :lol:

Don't Glocks have internal safeties similar to Sigs 4 internal safeties?

[American Patriot]

Negligent discharges occur when your finger is on the trigger and you discharge the gun unknowingly. Twelve pound triggers are supposed to make up for better training and stop NDs especially after you chase a suspect down 4 blocks and are holding him at gunpoint not knowing if he is armed, etc.

I think everyone has seen the video of the woman cop who shoots and barely misses the handcuffed perp lying down in the street :roll:

ahh ok it looked like plastic or something :oops: :oops:

[Nedflanders]

Guys,

My mate has got one without the NY trigger. I wouldn't touch the thing. I like a bit of safety and idiot proofness. I was very dubious about getting a Glock as it has no safety. Before you start posting I am aware of its integral safeties. It has no applied safety !! I like guns like the Browning 9mm an CZ 75s etc. I pefer 9mm because I WILL put more rounds down than a .45 and therefore it is unlikely you will live.

I love the Glock I have NEVER had a stoppage........ EVER.

Easy to clean, easy to maintain and almost Police/Soldier proof.

Very cheap compared to its rivals also...........

The best all rounder ever made.

you could always go with the following p-)


Classic Full Size P226R DAK
On Tuesday, August 24, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security notified SIGARMS that it had been awarded a five-year contract for 65,000 pistols valued at $23.7 million. The contract is for the P226R-DAK, P229R-DAK and the P239-DAO in 9mm and 40 S&W.
The P226R-DAK offers law enforcement officers a choice in firepower from 9mm to 357 SIG and 40 S&W, the tactical versatility of the M1913 Picatinny rail, the safety of double-action only and the unbeatable performance that only comes from SIG SAUER.
Developed by the renowned engineers at Sauer for the SIG SAUER pistols, the new DAK trigger system delivers a safe, reliable and consistent 6.5 pound double-action only trigger pull. The DAK is currently available for the P226 and P229 models. (above shown with night sights)

Smooth, consistent 6.5 pound double-action trigger
Multi-strike capability w/o pre-tensioning or pre-stressing internal firing mechanism
Remains in condition of rest w/o placing the mainspring or firing pin spring under tension
Slide must be locked back and magazine removed to disassemble
Safely disassembles without having to pull the trigger

[American Patriot]

I think a Glock with 3.5# is pretty safe but then I'm not a cop :lol:

[Nedflanders]

We have to carry the weapon our Force gives us.

I am happy with the Glock now that I have caried it for a year or so. Before we ha it we had to carry the Ruger .357 Magnum Revolver. Good stopping power but limited firepower.

I carry 18 rounds in my Glock with several spare mags.

You can only carry 6 in the Ruger !!!!!

[innocent_bystander]

Don't make me open my safe and start snapping pics.

I currently only have five Glocks. :( Getting married really cuts into your toy funds.

[rindeee]

My wife and I both carry Glocks. I carry a 23 (.40cal medium frame) and she a 26 (9mm compact with a pinky extension on the magazine so I can shoot it). I absolutely love both of them. I also picked up a great safe to keep them in. It will open either via an 8 digit key-code or a fingerprint (it will store something like 10 prints). The fingerprint scanner is very good (no false acepts thus far and only a few false rejects). Should someone make the mistake of trying to burglarize me while I slumber, I simply "print" "night stand" and out come both guns in under 5 seconds. The safe is pleanty big (about 1.2 cubic feet) for other stuff as well. If you're in the US, you can pick one up on SamsClub.com for $189.

nice pistol :)

[Sierra]

Thats awesone! Kool pics! :)

[Delta Niner]

please correct me if im wrong.. im here to learn p-)

Don't worry, it won't melt even if you live it rotting under the Iraqi sun. Just don't let your pitbull chew on the polymer part of the gun. That could ruin it. :)

[Levan]

Love polymer pistools, ver userfriendly, light and acurate. Favorite Glocks are G-19, G-17L, G-22 and G-30.
But I dont like that glocks do not have manul safety, thats why I choose Steyr M9. Incredible pistol.
Low bore axis, trapezoid sights are good for quick aim but it is hard to shoot in long range. it requires time to learn exact aim.
But when you learn it you will feel like you have a sniper rifle in your holster.
Very reliable, few hundreds fired so far, no single malfunction.
requires more maintenace than Glock (cleaning, lubricating) but for me it does not metter. Ultra hard frame is just for me along with full metal mags. From this point of view Steyr is much better than any Glock.

next pistol I will buy is H&K USP series.

[innocent_bystander]

The Steyr M9 is one problem plagued pistol. Unlike a Glock the striker on an M9 is held in the retracted mode. When M9 slides start to get loose you can fire the pistol just by wiggling the slide back and forth. There also isn't a striker/firing pin safety like on the Glock. So they aren't considered drop safe. The M9 loaded chamber indicated has also been a nightmare causing numerous malfunctions.

Not one single law enforcement agency in the US adopted the Steyr M9. I see M9 pistols are now on closeout with several wholesalers for $275. With steyr losing it's factory to BMW and having no US importer I think Steyr's future is limited. :roll:

in your comments you are sometimes right sometimes wrong.
First of all M9 actually do not needs firing pin safety. I also was amazed when mentioned this detail. But then I understood why they did this. Steyr frame is much harder then Glocks one, so it is impossible to imagine how you should wreck the gun to release firing pin. I personally tested my M9, dropping it on some hard surface, paunch it and hit it from various sides, I guarantee Styr is drop safe as Glock or any other high quality pistol. Also I hered numerous stories about people who shot themselves with Glock and no single story about accidental shots made from M series.
I didn’t hear about any malfunctions related to loaded chamber indicator.
Early Steyr`s got some problems with extractor and Trigger mechanism but last series are perfect.
Steyr has no good marketing division and this particular gun arrived a little bit late but any way this gun is magnificent.
Also it has a supported camber. It was designed for powerful caliber 40 sw and then was produced its 9mm version. Difference in weight is only 20 grams. It means that this 9mm pistol can fire any +P+ or reloaded ammo.
M series cost very cheap now because it is out of production but M-A1 series already began hitting market.
reason why M9 is not addopted, it came too late. There are Glocks and USP`s everywhere. Plus poor marketing and advertisement, poor maintenance. That’s why Steyr did not gain what he deserved.

[innocent_bystander]

Why would one be less likely to have an unintentional dischargewith an M9 over a Glock? :roll:

I've seen M9 pistols have accidental dischargeswhen the slides were rocked back and forth. This was shown in testing before the adoption by law enforcement. And yes, they should have been designed with a striker block to prevent this.

All Glock 9mm pistols are rated for +P+.

Sounds like you've been listening to salesmen.

You mentioned the USP. Don't even get me started on all the problems with them. Tucson PD was the largest LE user of USP pistols in the US. They had tons of problems with them and are phasing them out as their budget allows. The variant 1 USP is another problem plagued pistol.

There is a reason glock has almost 70% of the US LE market. Their pistols work!

[Levan]

I wiil not argue with you but you are incorrect in some places. Glock is great pistol but remember when Glock was introduced for the first time it also got some bugs.
All guns got bugs but every one will agree that huge arms makers do not produce **** ! all modern handguns are reliable, accurate and lethal.
question is which one is more suitable for particular user abd for environment where gun is been testing.
Steyr, USP and Glock are very similar guns.

[Graeme]

There are a fair few people who despise glocks. Not for the lack of a proper safety, not because they are plastic or anything, but some of the heavier calibred pistols (apparently) would go bang. The problem being was there wasn't enough material/thickness in the breach/chamber area. Too much pressure over a small amount of material=crack. Will see if i can dig up the websites :)

Dean Spear is a frickin' idiot.

You know what I've seen more "KBs" in than any other pistol......the 1911.

This from years of shooting IPSC and IDPA.

[rawkitheart]

here's a photography tip:

your photos DoF (depth of field) is wayyyy too short. you can solve this by closing your Fstop (making a smaller hole thereby increasing your DoF) and zooming in on the subject instead of physically moving the camera closer to it.

[admar2]

nice Glock, here are mine. I'm partial to the 9mm flavor. 17, 19, and 26
