Personally, I couldn't care less about the scalloped serrations. It's just as easy to rack either slide. It's all about the grip for me. I do hope they make the RTF2 grip available again.
I had a consecutive serial numbered pair of RTF2 17s that were crap. Brass to the face and something was wrong that caused the trigger pull to get progressively heavier and cause excessive wear to the trigger bar in about 1K rounds.
It was a frame out of spec problem, new parts did not fix it.

I actually find the gills to grip better which is odd. Looking at them I figured they wouldn't work well. I don't ever want them to be standard but I do like it as an option.
I just picked up a USA G17 RTF2. The test fire date is 11/20/2012. I didnt think these were being made anymore. It does not have the gills but it is still the rtf2. Serial # is AAAC6##. $469.00 plus tax I had to buy it as I havnt seen an rtf2 for sale new in about a year.
I called Buds tonight and spoke with a manager. He refused to provide me the first three letters of the serial number and said it was a weird request for people to want to know the serial number and that concerned him. I told him I wanted just the first three to date the pistol, not the entire serial number. I said I wanted an old stock one, not a new production.
I finally got an answer out of him and he said the first letter started with an "A" and that he wasn't even comfortable providing that. I told him I would refuse to buy from Bud's because they were not providing me the information I needed to help me decide if I wanted to buy it.
He said he was fine not selling to me.
I wonder if it starts with an "A"......if its a totally made in USA gun. I saw some pics of a Glock with a "USA" slide that had AAAA as the first four letters of the serial number
That's kind of dick-ish.
What difference does it make if you're over the phone or in store.. Are they gonna cover up the serial when your in store looking at the gun?

I just seen a G17 RTF2 (GEN 3) with "USA" on the slide instead of Austria, in a local store the other day; it was gone today. I remember that the serial number started with AAAC8. It has the same test fire date of 11-20-2012 as the AAAC6## above and it did NOT have the "fish gills", but had the straight serrations.
