Glock 17 Gen 3 - A review of the most widely used service pistols - is it right for civilians?
A Glock 17 is the hardly something new in the pistol world. This isn't even the most current version of the pistol. Did this pistol age well? Can the hype be believed?
The Glock 17 and the Beretta 92 basically both emerged on the American scene at about the same time frame, the Glock 17 championing striker fired actions and the 92 representing double/single actions. Due to Glock’s brilliant design of a highly functional product at a very attractive price point, law enforcement officers across the nation started trading in their 38’s for semi autos. But in the 30 years since it’s introduction is it still any good?
Now more than ever the Glock has very robust competition in the polymer service pistol market segment. Is the design still relevant? The design has been revised 4 times now, but none of the revisions would be considered disruptive. The pistol is clearly designed to a price point.
We take a look at how Austrian Perfection has aged. The pistol used is on loan from a friend and is a Glock 17 Gen 3 with a factory threaded barrel.

A quick look at the gen 5 Taran Tactical Guide Rod - especially if you run an optic. Can lead to issues with the gun going into battery or unlocking too early. Look out for off center primer strikes. The guide rod is totally fine - the 14# spring they ship it with is not.

Shooting rapid fire exposes a poorly balanced gun through bad hits. What if we could optimize the balance of a handgun so that it has improved stability at speed?
