I've had an E-Mail notification on these for quite a while from Davidson's, but they never seem to ever get any in stock. Yesterday I received an unexpected E-Mail from them saying they had just gotten some in. I immediately ordered one.
I'm really excited about this pistol. I have a standard 17, as well as the 19 and 26. But the 17-L has always intrigued me. I didn't realize how hard they are to come by. The 34's are a dime a dozen in either Gen 3 or Gen 4, because they are well used in all of the run and gun games. But no one stocks the 17-L around here, and Phoenix has many gun shops. I read that Glock is only releasing 500 of them for import to the United States in 2017. If that's true, they are more uncommon than I thought.
Anyway, here she is. I picked it up yesterday afternoon. Just made it home before the rain started. Handling this pistol, I absolutely love everything about it. It points like a laser, and is balanced perfectly. Glock did a beautiful job in machining the slide to weigh and balance the same as a standard Glock 17 slide. The sights are sharp and definitive, as well as adjustable. The trigger is so much better than the conventional triggers the other service Glocks receive. It's much lighter and crisper. Surprising for a Glock. I have zero doubt this gun is going to see a lot of ammunition. I'm only sorry that I waited so long to get one! (I don't know if this link will work. They don't make it very easy to post photos here...... When I click on the link, it shows up fine).
