Friend of mine brought his new Gen 5 G17 this weekend. I like it. I don't notice Glock knuckle as much with it as older Glocks. It's no better than my 3s and 4s with frame/trigger job. If I had one, I'd probably stipple it and undercut it.
I'm afraid that the larger slide lock would cause me issues like extended units do. But that's to be seen.
It seems it won't necessarily fit 3/4 holsters. That's a no go for me at this point. Not that I need another Glock. Perhaps when the 34 comes out I would pick one up for USPSA. I think until then, I'll keep using my VP9 and Gen 4.
The trigger on his gun breaks at 6 lbs 4 oz. It feels as though it is a much better trigger; smoother and less snappy. It almost feels like a NY1 combined with a (-) connector.
Unfortunately, there is brass to face with it, resulting in some burns.
