My Classic Edition Glock 17 arrived today!
Interestingly, it's not called a Glock 17 anywhere on the gun's markings or the box.
The model number on the label is P80.
Collectible, magnetic closure, cardboard box.
Certificate of Authenticity! With nothing to tie it to this specific gun, so...
Tupperware!
My example appears to be nearly unfired if it was fired at all.
My low-ball bid was $350 (plus shipping, insurance, taxes and transfer fees). The original owner paid a bit more:
The trigger is standard Glock and breaks at about 7 lb.
The magazines are the same as what came with my Glock 45, but with black instead of orange followers.
It's 0.6 oz. lighter than a Gen 2; 1 lb. 8.8 oz. vs 1 lb. 9.4 oz. with an empty magazine. Could that be the metal, tritium sights on my Gen 2 vs the plastic?
The slides will interchange.
The only real visible differences are the slide marking and grip textures. I find I really like the old texture and contour. It fits my hand really well.
Something I think is neat is the tooling left a ghost of a mark where the lanyard hole should be.
I flat out refuse to get addicted to Tupperware guns. I don’t care how well they shoot, how well they fit, how reasonable the price is.
ReplyDeleteUntil I bought a Ruger American carbine in 223. Shoots like a house on fire, light as a feather, fits like a glove, a tack driver for 800.00 and change… right out of the box. If I start buying Glocks… I dunno if I will be able to stop!
When can we expect a range report Angus?
Soon. And there WILL be one because I intend to shoot it!
DeleteA couple more pics will be in order too, but for the proper nostalgia treatment I have to remember where I put my ALICE web gear and then dig it out.
