My G17 2nd Gen is one of my favorite guns to shoot...so much so that I'll be turning her into a competition gun soon. She still has the original Mepro night sights (1993) and need replacing...maybe a little trigger work???
This particular gun was carried on duty from May 93 until April 96. She's seen a lot of IDPA stock class and tons of range time. At one point I had over 18,000 rounds documented through her. Unfortunately, I lost the book and have not kept up the total...but she's well over 20,000 now...with no obvious wear!
As far as the grip goes...smooth and dreamy...like I said, one of my favorites...of all time!
