Just because it happens to be striker fired does not make it a Glock copy. Go hold one. Fire one if you can, and see if you still think it's a Glock copy.
This is unfortunate, I mean that you are not a troll, that's unfortunate, because as a fan of Glocks you should be familiar enough with that excellent gun to know what is and is not a clone. That you aren't sure or certain whether the M17 is a clone or not means that you are not all that familiar with Glocks. So, if you are a serious fan of Glocks than it indicates that more study and knowledge are required on your part before you can say that you are a serious fan. "Fanboy" OK cuz you don't need to know much to be that. But it would be good to know more.
That you are not a troll is also unfortunate cuz then it means that you are dropping provocative one liners into the discussion without being aware of it.
