- Next up is the Glock 17 Gen 1 Classic announced one year ago today at Shot Show in Las Vegas on January 17, 2023. This is a Lipsey’s exclusive much like the P80 Classic Edition introduced a few years ago. This Glock has features that only a factory made tribute can have like a retooled Gen 1 pebble finish frame and familiar Gen 1 cues like the flat extractor, smooth trigger, small button mag release, and front and rear polymer sights. It looks and feels like a classic Gen 1 with the internals and countless mechanical and safety upgrades of the current Gen 5.......what a great idea.
I love shooting this thing.....collector value out the window.....it’s my favorite Glock to bring to the range!
Thanks for tuning in!
They just work, what more could you ask in something that can save your life.
Proud 17 owner.
The Glock 17 was a game changer.
You could sell snow to Eskimos because you got me wanting one!
Nice!
Just picked one up 3 days ago! I remember when I first saw a Glock when I was younger. Always wanted the OG 17, this will do just fine! BYW, Glock is the best pistol EVER made! Thanks Gaston, RIP
Can’t argue with that. Thanks for tuning in.
I remember when they first hit the market here, looking just like yours. The sales started slowly, but when they started to be adopted by U.S. and foreign police agencies (and some foreign militaries), they took off. My sons have Glocks, and I accept the fact that they are very reliable, have superb aftermarket parts and accessories, and are acceptably accurate. Frankly, I thought Glock was likely to win the DoD contract. But I am not a big fan of striker fired pistols with no safety other than the trigger spur. I tend to favor the DA/SA action with safety/decocker. The polymer frame has a number of advantages that we all recognize, and has become ubiquitous.
I hate any manual safety so the Glock configuration is right up my alley and my preference. Thanks for tuning in!
Rip Mr Glock such a player that man was.
Oh yeah. He absolutely DEFINED player......
Gaston got hit in the head with a hammer few times by a hitman and still came out on top of the fight. What a legend.
Have a Pistole 80 Glock from Lypseys excusive few years ago and only shot it a bit and just a smooth shooting 9mm. I remember seeing my first Glock 17 way back in 1991 in back of my coworkers car on 2nd shift at Newport News Shipbuilding and I thought how futuristic it looked at 21 years old .
I remember too, and how amazing is it that they’ve hardly changed at all.
I like your words of wisdom about patriots.
The brilliance of the great Mark Twain.
Fantastic detailed review- which proves that the Glock classic G17 remake as the P80 is still relevant -- dare * say it- a Browning Hi -Power beater
Just purchased one for EDC
Nice.
Looking at one now for the same. Yes it's a collector piece but they still work. Love the retro 80s vibe.
Just purchased one for EDC I have a original that I bought new in 88 but it's getting retired now.
Would put it at the top of the list for EDC usage.....especially for those new to firearms (or carrying firearms).
Did yours come with a 336 ejector? Brass to the face with mine had to buy a gen 5 ejector
It’s an 8196-2.
🤘 😁 🤘
Hey man what is thinner the classic or new ???
Not sure but if I had to guess I would say the original Gen 1 G17 might have been a tiny bit thinner than Gen 5 but by such a small margin you would have to measure to even see it. As far as the G17 classic, again just a guess, but I would say they use identical slides to the Gen 5.
I've had my P80 retro since thay came out. Gen 1 was my first love. Got rid of it, and I thought about it every time was shooting. I'm happy again.
How does this Gen 1 17 differ from the P80??
There might be more modern attributes but it sure feels right, doesn’t it?
@@hhenryf.8I believe this one is a gen5 with the style of a gen1 whereas the p80 is a gen3 styled like a gen1 update: not a gen5, still a gen3
@JA-oo9qp stop giving out false info. This is not a gen 5. It's like a gen 3. There are no differences between this and the p80 except the roll markings
@@justusbryant7366 This is correct. I was wrong. The only info I found on it was referring to it being gen 5 internally. Not true, just a different roll mark.
How does this Gen 1 17 differ from the P80??
Thanks to M 7 on the Glock Talk forum I found this…..
“The P80 has a 'P80' slide marking (instead of '17') and a standard serial number. The Gen 1 17 has a 5-digit numeric serial number with a GEN1 suffix and a '17' slide marking. Neither offering is a true Gen 1 as they are built on Gen 3 frames, slides, and internals. Lipsey's states that the finish on both is the nDLC coating used on Gen 5 Glocks, but it is not; it's the black finish over gas nitrided surface being used on current Gen 3s.”
Production numbers and what’s included in the box are also different.
The finish is different and the mags and internal parts are different and newer.
My friend just purchased this Glock 17 Gen 1 Classic. I got to shoot it.
It's basically a Gen 5 Glock 17, that are stopping production, and filled the gap with a Gen 5 Glock 17 that has the classic grip, no under frame rail and just 2 magazines.
So, the Glock 17 Gen 1 Classic is actually a bit cheaper than the real Gen 5 G17.
Drop safety, beveled mag well, Gen 5 trigger, new style barrel,,, ALL GOOD... !
I like this pistol, it takes Gen 2-5 double notched magazines, so, it's a Gen 5 that looks like a Gen 1.
This Gen one classic is actually better than the original gen one.
The only Fvck-up Glock did with this Glock 17 Gen 1 Classic was the front cut out on the mag well.
Pinches your hand if you're not paying attention when slapping in a fresh magazine.
Hopefully, Glock will release another version of the Glock 17 Gen 1 Classic WITH OUT the stupid cut out in the front of the mag-well. DUMB- JUST DUMB... !
I think that’s put there to help facilitate magazine removal during a stoppage. Kind of made for your thumb to fit in there. I think they sell little buttons that fit in there that actually hold a spare round. Maybe one of those will help stop this pinching problem you encounter. Just a thought. Thanks for tuning in!
I've got number 99
100 is better
Now you need to find #86 to complete the Get Smart collection.
Looks just the 1- 98
you made a video and you dont know magazine compatibility?
The Milsurp Garage channel might be a bit different, I’ll admit. When I do a video on a specific topic, I might not know every single thing about it and occasionally leave it to my small but knowledgeable community of viewers to help fill in the details via comments. Works well that way as there are certainly specialists out there on specific topics and their expertise is welcomed.
Guess there was a magazine detail that slipped through the cracks.
Actually, Glock magazine compatibility can be a video all on its own.
Yes, it"s collectable, but it's still not a true Gen1.
Gen 1 guns are out there and available. This is for the guy who wants the look and feel of the gen 1 but the modern insides and safety. It’s not trying to be anything but what it is, the Gen 1 Classic.
@@MilsurpGarage thats true...
It's a gen 1 to me. It's better than athe original
I like the Arex Delta L gen 2 better.
You’re comparing a firearm that came out in the early 1980’s to something that Slovenia dropped in the last few years. Apples and oranges, sir. No one is carrying these things; they’re collectors pieces because Glock had a program where if you turned in your gen 1 you got a discount on a gen 2.
I like jelly beans
@@guaporeturns9472 Get Mommy to buy you some.
@@donovanchilton5817 Funny, everybody I see reviewing them loves them.
Jelly beans and Glock 17’s…..
