I had to make a road trip last week to attend a funeral.Of all the options I had,I chose my G-17.No need to worry about rust due to weather up in the mountains,good magazine capacity,potent enough caliber,night sights.I was thinking of just pocketing a P-32 but decided on the 17 instead.tom.:cool:

And, if the G17 is a 3rd or 4th Gen you can throw on a light which can come in very handy!

This is true.It's a 3rd gen. and I have a light.tom.:supergrin:

Deputy Tom,

Thank you, for the reply. I feel the same way, and it is good to get confirmation. Especially from those who have experience with other calibers. Stay safe.
Thank you Larry and you stay safe too.:wavey:

Hey DT, good to see you're still around!:wavey: Shot a combat steel course at work today. Shot it well with the SIG, shot it better with my 26 and then really smoked it with my old 2nd Gen G17. Thought you'd get a kick out of that.

HR:cool:
Yep,still kickin' and happy the G-17 did you well at the steel shoot.tom.:thumbsup:

Don't get me wrong,I love the 1911 pistol and always have a few at hand,the G-17 is now and has been for a while my go to pistol.The 17 has higher capacity,less chance for corrosion,less chance of me crying if damaged,well you get the message.tom.:cool:

I also carry the Sig 229 .40 with the Glock 26 as a backup/off-duty. Just found out today we'll be allowed the G17 in lieu of the 229. I like the Sig too, but prefer the Glock, Sigs heavy and a little higher maintenence.
It's always good to have options.tom.:cool:

Winter is long gone, but the weather here even in late spring has remained cool. Cool enough to wear this...



Best of both worlds!:supergrin:

Today my G26 broke! Yes indeed, it broke. I think maybe the RSA is old and needs replacing. We've been shooting GDHP 124gr. +P and after 100 rounds today it stopped extracting every two or three rounds.

I took the slide apart and replaced all of the slide springs but to no avail. I didn't have an RSA handy until late this afternoon and didn't have a chance to test fire so.............

I'm carry the ol' G17 as a primary again!:thumbsup:

HR:cool:
Sorry to hear about your 26. Thank goodness you have the 17. tom.
