Hit up the range to try out the new Glock 17. Definitely very simple to shoot and less recoil them my Glock 23. Fired 2 types of ammo, no misfeeds or missed targets. Talked some guns and then left for work.
As I was leaving they had a new range orientation at the Austin Rifle Club. Lots of cars in the driveway.
Good day!
Hit up the range today

Re: Hit up the range today
My worst day on the range is better than a good day at work!
So the new Glock simply worked, no misfeeds and failures. Can't say I am surprised!

I bought a Gen 3 G17 back in July... I have put over 1,500 rounds of mixed ammo thru and have yet to see any failures. The thing just works

Re: Hit up the range today
I hear that on both your posts. I have carried glocks on duty since the 90's. When I needed them in the field, they fired and saved my life. The 9 was fun to shoot.
