The P80 Classic did not fill the void.
So I've kept hunting for either a real steal on an actual Gen1 or a decent deal on a Gen 1 Classic.
I found the Classic because the seller listed it as a real Gen1 and that wouldn't attract someone who wanted a Classic.
Without regards to future collectors, I decided to make it a clone of my actual first Glock 17.
This means I can put the lanyard on it!
The hole for the lanyard is not on the initial issue of the P80 or G17, and it appears erratically in production until all guns after a certain point have it. The one I bought at the Patch Rod and Gun Club had the hole, as did the one I bought later at Jacobson's Gun Center. The gun I bought stateside also had adjustable sights for ATF import points.
Here's what's wrong with the P80:
And here's why the Gen 1 Classic is acceptable:
And except for the serial number range, that's all the differences between them!
I think I, very quietly, crossed the line to being a Glock collector without noticing.
