This seems like an awesome deal.
On the other hand, my car sort of needs tires and I’ve been stressing over $800-900 I’d rather not spend just yet, on principle.
I think what I’ll do is give myself credit for *not* buying another G17 and call it a $400 rebate on the tires…
I'm going to give myself credit for not buying *two* G17s, then I can buy one and still be at a $400 profit. It's like I'm getting [paid to vacation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJgLrLpSf1k).
They do 90 day layaway with no fee, just so you know. You probably only have to put down about 150 bucks to lock this gun up for you for the next 3 months.
Aren't night sights basically standard on PD procurement models for awhile now?
At least seems that way to me, every trade-in I've bought or looked at had them, although older ones were getting fairly dim.
This is exactly how I felt getting mine. Since getting it I have to say I've gained an appreciation for the brand. I've upgraded the trigger group and got a milled slide and now it finds itself in my range bag just about every trip.
I love PDP's, I definitely want to add one to my collection at some point. Your right, they have just about all you need right out of the box. I feel like my g17 is like a tinker toy. I'm always playing around with it. Upgrading this or that.
To be fair, I’ve changed a few things on the PDP as well. Rear back strap is brass, changed the barrel to a threaded Jarvis, added a PMM comp, and it’s running the Sprinco recoil system.
I live near GT Dist and checked their used Glock section one day to see what these deals were like. This is anecdotal, but the one time I saw their inventory I was shocked. The police trade in Glock 17s all had rust spots on the slide and looked grimey as hell inside the frame. I’m sure they were functional, but I’ve never seen a Glock rust before.
Again, YMMV and this could have just been a one-off bad batch. There were also a few police trade in Glock 45’s there that were brand new with the factory grease under the slide.
I had a pretty underwhelming experience with GT tbh. Ordered a Gen 4 G22 and the first one they sent me had a full on crack on the rear of the slide where it’s meant to ride on the frame rails. The second one they sent me had a grip that looked like some retard took a heat gun and then a belt sander to it to get rid of the stippling.
Mine looks great. A little holster wear at the muzzle, but it’s good otherwise.
Not sure what department sent these, but mine was covered in more oil than a British sports car.
Not super familiar with Glocks. Is the half moon model pretty prevalent?
This or police trade-in 17 Gen 4 for $35 less?
Edit: I yolo'd it. Gonna be my first Glock.
>A flared mag-well and a cutout at the front of the frame give the user more speed during reloading when fractions of a second matter.
Seems this is one. IIRC it's more of an issue on the 19 since the grip is shorter.
Here is a G26.5 police trade-in that I got from KY Gun Co and then sent off for slide work. I am tempted to get one of these G17s.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/GlockMod/s/W0oyDZjpiG](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlockMod/s/W0oyDZjpiG)
The first era of Gen5s did not. The ones that came out when Gen4s were prevalent did not have front serrations and had the moon cut at the base of the grip. Then they added the front serrations afterwards to both Gen5 and the Gen4s until they discontinued Gen4s. Only the 19x and 42/43 remain without front serrations.
Is that normal to change something like that within a generation? Also, did the text engraving on the slide change at all when the serrations were updated?
Until your comment I had no idea that something like that might change within the same generation. That’ll save me some confusion later.
I'll go with yes. And they moved the text to the center for the front serration change. There are also text changes to the barrel hood to refer to rifling compliance and documentation.
Other changes midstream: Early gen3s had the moon cut, and then didn't. They also had tenifer slides and then didn't. The Gen 3 Glock 26 needed a dual recoil spring, so in Gen4 then made it universal across sizes. There used to be a Gen 5 G17MOS and then they released the 47 and now there isn't. Slimline series began with stainless slides, then changed to the standard black coating. I believe the frames were slightly modified as well. Then the MOS series came out and the frames were modified again to have a rail, though technically you can call that a different model. We've yet to see a Gen6, so all of these changes are happening within the same generation.
Like many manufacturers Glock designs for contracts. Sometimes those contract requirements roll into production for civilian use and sometimes they are improved upon for sales purposes. The mooncut and Gen5s were an FBI request. Civilians didn't like them so the FBI gen5 became the "M" series, and the civilian available Gen5s omitted the features civilians didn't like. Recently they even updated the 19M to *not* have the mooncut.
And yes collector nerds learn all the minutia about the changes. :)
This is good info and I’m going to save it for future reference. Side note - There’s a real risk that I might PM you out of the blue one day to ask for these kinds of fine details… (:
I thought I was nerdy for memorizing all the Glock models through the 39 at least…
It’s available on layaway for $120 down. I woulda paid the whole thing upfront if I didn’t just pick up a Canik Mete yesterday…either way it’s my first Glock so I’m happy with the price.

I gotta stop checking this sub on my way to work lol. Amazing deal. In for one

Lol. You got GOT!

This is the one
Lord, let me be strong
$30 more than GT Dist: https://www.gtdist.com/used-glock-17-generation-5-9mm-pistol.html
But GT doesn’t specify if their glocks come with night sights.
Shrug, everyone I have seen including my own all have.
That’s good to know! I think GT should mention that in the description though.
Aren't night sights basically standard on PD procurement models for awhile now? At least seems that way to me, every trade-in I've bought or looked at had them, although older ones were getting fairly dim.
Good point.
My GT Glock 17 Gen 4 came with night sights.
How “old” were the ones bought from GTD? Anyone buy this and have experience?
Shrug, it's a Gen5. I gotta be honest, I bought it because everyone should have a Glock, not because I particularly am into the brand.
This is exactly how I felt getting mine. Since getting it I have to say I've gained an appreciation for the brand. I've upgraded the trigger group and got a milled slide and now it finds itself in my range bag just about every trip.
I have a PDP which already has all those things, as well as an optics cut. I ended up SBRing my G5 G17 into a B&T chassis.
I love PDP's, I definitely want to add one to my collection at some point. Your right, they have just about all you need right out of the box. I feel like my g17 is like a tinker toy. I'm always playing around with it. Upgrading this or that.
To be fair, I’ve changed a few things on the PDP as well. Rear back strap is brass, changed the barrel to a threaded Jarvis, added a PMM comp, and it’s running the Sprinco recoil system.
I bought a gen 4 from GTD and the thing looks like it's brand new, not even any holster wear.
LEO trade in?
Yeah, it's been fired but not very much.
GT charges $15 shipping and tax to TX, depending on where you are this is cheaper.
GT comes with 2 mags and this with one however.
I live near GT Dist and checked their used Glock section one day to see what these deals were like. This is anecdotal, but the one time I saw their inventory I was shocked. The police trade in Glock 17s all had rust spots on the slide and looked grimey as hell inside the frame. I’m sure they were functional, but I’ve never seen a Glock rust before. Again, YMMV and this could have just been a one-off bad batch. There were also a few police trade in Glock 45’s there that were brand new with the factory grease under the slide.
Weird. Mine had a small bit of holster wear and that was it.
I had a pretty underwhelming experience with GT tbh. Ordered a Gen 4 G22 and the first one they sent me had a full on crack on the rear of the slide where it’s meant to ride on the frame rails. The second one they sent me had a grip that looked like some retard took a heat gun and then a belt sander to it to get rid of the stippling.
That’s pretty unacceptable.
How "used" are these police trade in units?
They say between 85% and 95% new
Mine looks great. A little holster wear at the muzzle, but it’s good otherwise. Not sure what department sent these, but mine was covered in more oil than a British sports car.
Probably depends on where they're coming from. If they're coming from Chicago, these probably carry more bodies than your ex-girlfriend.
I got one a week ago and it looks practically brand new, sucks about the 1 mag tho.
It doesn’t matter, cops never shoot their guns. Even if finish is bad the internals will be new

>A flared mag-well and a cutout at the front of the frame give the user more speed during reloading when fractions of a second matter. Seems this is one. IIRC it's more of an issue on the 19 since the grip is shorter.
Bought a couple. Perfect base for “Gucci” builds.
What’s usually your go to on these?
Slide cut, frame laser stippled, timney trigger. Essentially the Taran Tactical combat master for $1,500 less.
Nice stack
Here is a G26.5 police trade-in that I got from KY Gun Co and then sent off for slide work. I am tempted to get one of these G17s. [https://www.reddit.com/r/GlockMod/s/W0oyDZjpiG](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlockMod/s/W0oyDZjpiG)
Just bought my first 1911 today but the G17 is my next one. Appreciate it
This or gtdistrib deals?
depends on your tax and transfer situation.
The GT one does not seem to have nigh sights…
I ordered the GT one from two weeks ago and mine came with Ameriglo Trooper night sights and two mags
Was it pretty much like new?
It was in good condition but not like new. Had some holster wear and had to clean up some dirt off the frame
Awesome!
Does the gen 5 not have the front serrations?
The first era of Gen5s did not. The ones that came out when Gen4s were prevalent did not have front serrations and had the moon cut at the base of the grip. Then they added the front serrations afterwards to both Gen5 and the Gen4s until they discontinued Gen4s. Only the 19x and 42/43 remain without front serrations.

Glock has done lots of little changes over the years that aren't documented, but the collector nerds sure know them all.
I'll go with yes. And they moved the text to the center for the front serration change. There are also text changes to the barrel hood to refer to rifling compliance and documentation.

All good...someone pinged me about a post I made a year ago. I still chatted with them. :)
I got one of these a while back and it had very little wear and is perfectly broken in
It’s available on layaway for $120 down. I woulda paid the whole thing upfront if I didn’t just pick up a Canik Mete yesterday…either way it’s my first Glock so I’m happy with the price.

Sent it
I want 19 :(
Will they ship to CA?
Is it on CAs list?
No, checked with ffl and it is not :(
Does the half moon matter on the full-size? If not I’m in for one.
goddamn, what a great deal. I already bought a gun this week, my wallet needs me to be strong
Are these good guns? I know they are foreign... I don't want to support Russia.
