A P-07 wouldn’t fit in my small Pelican alongside my Shadow2, so I’m carrying this on my Alabama trip. My G4 26 gets more use for this sort of thing than any of my other Glocks.

Okay here's a quick update on the Gen 3 G17.
I was able to install a minus connector and a set of Talon grips tonight. I haven't fired it yet, but man what a difference. The trigger now feels just like my Gen 3 G34 -- literally. Huge difference from how it was before. The Talon grips fix the problem with the slippery grip frame, and I bought an extra set that I will install on the G34. Activating the adhesive with heat after installation is the way to go IMO.
The only bummer is that somehow when I was reassembling the pistol I broke the little spring wire on the slide release lever. Arrgh! But fortunately I was able to move the one from my G34 to the G17 so I can shoot it this weekend. I'll just order another lever for the G34 so no biggie.
I'll get some shooting done this weekend and post another update.
I took the Gen 3 G17 to the range today and was quite pleased. I'm surprised at the amount of difference the minus connector and Talon grips make. I'm still getting used to the Glock trigger in general, but the connector is a big improvement.
About the only difference between my G17 and G34 now is that the G34 is slightly more forgiving of a less than perfect grip and trigger press. With the G17 I have to focus more on fundamentals -- but the accuracy is there.
Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas and comments on this thread -- it was well worth it.
Don’t know if anyone else has said it, but since you’re coming from 1911s...
Trying to get a Glock trigger to feel like a 1911 trigger is a fool’s errand.
At some point you need to learn to shoot the trigger in the gun(s) you’re shooting. The inclusion of “glass rod break” for example in at least one post is a red flag for me regarding the goal of all this fiddling.
