I got the G17-5 Friday at Larry’s in Huntsville (thanks Roadkill for the excellent customer service). FYI - they had 9mm range ammo in stock. Word is that everyone is out of it, but Larry has connections that most dealers don’t have, thus he has ammo. Anyway, I shot the 17-5 Saturday morning, and ran 100 rounds through it. It shot very well, with zero issues. My second 50 rounds was shooting the FBI special agent qualification, and shot 98% - see pic below.

An interesting comparison - my loaded XD9SC, with a 17 round magazine, weighs 1.5 oz. MORE than the loaded G17-5 with a 17 round mag. I’m surprised that the XD weighs more, but it is what it is. Carrying this Glock is great, no issues whatsoever. And I’ve got a current holster that the G17 fits very well in, so I don’t have to spend any extra $$$ for a new holster. All in all, I believe I’m going to REALLY like this new Glock.
