 Glock 17 Review
The G17 was Gaston Glock's 17th patent (hence the name) and the first polymer-frame handgun to be a real commercial success in the US.
In 1998, Glock redesigned the frames of its full-size and compact pistols, to include new features found on the "Tactical Longslide" G34 and 35.
Still, the FG&R G17 is a functional updating of the classic Glock design, and it sacrifices nothing of the reliability and simplicity for which the breed is known.
