Why the Glock 17 Gen3 Stands Out
The Glock 17 Gen3 is the workhorse of 9mm pistols. I’ve put hundreds of rounds through this model at our 100-yard range in Spring, TX, and it consistently performs without fail. The Gen3 iteration improves on earlier models with enhanced ergonomics while maintaining the simplicity that made Glock famous.
