Picked up a G17 today
« on: February 05, 2013, 12:34:52 AM »
Found a used G17 at scheels yesterday.  Asked the salesman if I could take a look and field stripped it to find that o so pretty copper colored lubricant still on the rails.  Came with 3 17 round magazines and a 31 round magazine??? Also came with glock night sights installed, which I had never seen in the dark before, pretty cool.  580 plus tax, which I didn't think was too bad.  If anyone is interested in trading a couple G17 mags for S&W M&P9 17 round mags, let me know.

Coming from Scheels in today's gouge environment you got a fair deal.  Should be a 33 round magazine.

That's what I thought.  Just checked the price on CTD for 33 round glock magazines, $190 lol.

A blessing in disguise....put the 33 rounder on gunbroker to pay for some of your gun and then you got a real good deal.  Besides how practical is the 33 ...and talk about your "printing" :)

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Pretty sure only for the Zombies. His normal is Production Class, so 10 rounds in mag at start.

I love extended mags. If you dont need the cash I would hold onto it. They may be hard to find after awhile.

O I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. My local firearms store had some in stock yesterday. At 180 bucks a piece I know why they still have them. They had 17 round magazines as well for 80 a piece. Needless to say I am glad I have several 17 rd and the one 33 rd.  I and am not in the market for any more at those prices.
