Speaking of Glocks, I found a G17L
A while back I shot a friends G17L and was impressed with how well it shot and handled. I like the look of the early versions without the light rail as I see no need for a gun that I intend to use solely as a range gun and so have been looking for either a gen1 (good luck with finding an affordable one) or a gen2.
I finally managed to find a like new gen2 from 1995 with the Tupperware box, correct original magazines and manual at what I felt was a reasonable price and picked it up the other day. Today I took it out and put a couple hundred rounds through it and boy is this thing a shooter. It came from the factory with a 3.5lb trigger and adjustable rear sight and I found it very easy to hold the bullseye at every range I tried it at up to 25 yards. I had decent results with the standard range grade 115gr ammo I had on hand and am going to try loading up some 124gr cartridges to see if it likes the heavier bullets
All in all I am pretty happy with my new (used) G17L and I only wish I would have acquired one a few years ago.
