I have one of these for my G17, so far 300-400 rounds i see no wear, Ti is as strong as steel, just lighter for wieght, i did my change with the 3.5 trigger and love the light smooth feel. it is not what i would carry for an everyday gun just because if you get shaky it is a light touch but for the range and target shooting, I would say its an improvement, i found my for about 55.00 i think at lone wolf, look around, some are higher than others. happy shooting.
