    Nice. Still not sure I'd get another 17. Personally, for me, I'd still rather have a 19. I know, the 17 has more sight radius, longer barrel, blah, blah, blah. But for me speed and practical accuracy is as good or better with the 19.

    Still glad to see Glock addressing the issue with 15 round magazines for those with limits.

    Agree on all points.

    Shot a buddy's 34 this past weekend. Wow. That was a whole other experience from my 19.

    Owned one of each over the years. Obviously everyone is different and prefers different things but they just weren't my cup of tea. I didn't shoot them any better than the 19 and for me I didn't like the feel of the recoil impulse if that makes any sense. I have smaller hands and I think the 17/34 full size frame just doesn't fit my hand to where I'm comfortable. I think the humpy part of the grip is what bothers me. On the 19 and even the 26 the hump just fits better into my hand and gives me better feel and control or something.

    Anyhow, my first post here wasn't meant to bash the 17 or steer anyone away from it. Just pointing out that even with the availability of 15 round magazines I am perfectly content sticking to my 19.
