It’s amazing to think that for the most part it is functionally the same. I know there are those that will knock Glock for that, but it’s a testament to the fact that they came out of the gate with a really good product that does just about everything you need and then some.
If every company was copying me, I wouldn't change much either.
People slam Glock for the same reason they slam iPhones. Glock works, everyday, every time. Not expensive, functional, perfect. I wouldn’t trust my security to anything but a Glock.
I agree with your comment on glock :) not on iPhone hahaha there garbage I’ve had 3 all 3 stopped functioning in some way or another within 2 years of ownership… and there expensive can’t compare iPhone reliability to a glock :)
Look at new 1911s. Fundamentally the same thing with a few upgrades. JMB got it right and so did Gaston
To the people hating on the gun. If it does t interest you then dont buy it. Go buy a canik and put your red dot on it. Not everyone has to have the most up to date thing and you dont really have to have all that stuff. This gun right here will do everything you need it to. Its a nice classic to own as history and can very well be a good home defense or even carry gun. It wprks and it shoots great. Very accurate.
I own a gen 2, Glock 23. Bought it in 1989 while stationed at Andrews Afb. 😍
Still have the tupperware box, manuals, all the original sights, springs, including the new york trigger springs (ick, 11 lbs.). Obviously changed them all!
I still love it!
Really can't beat this firearm. It's simplicity is its beauty in my mind and it's durability. I carry a 17 gen 3 for many years. And I have many many guns but i always seem to return to my glock 17 for carry ..it's just that good ..thank you for this wonderful review
likewise my man likewise
I still have my 1985 17 & 1990 19, both in excellent condition
I have a Gen 1 17 in the original box, original manuals and magazines. It'll stay with the family.
Do you have any idea what the gen 1 version are going for and the box 2 man I would get rid of it loose by a reproduction, one in the video
I got one too. Bought it in 86 lol
very cool
I picked up one today at Acadamy Sports for $390 OTD. They had it on clearance sale. A brand-new Glock of any kind for under $400 bucks is a steal.
Same here I got my for 350 OTD New.
I got a Glock 47 for $399.99 plus $10 BGC I was happy
That's such an amazing find. I got my Gen 2 police trade in for around that, so that's a freaking steal
@@Recipe_For_Disaster_TV damn what a deal. I went with the G45 and im pretty happy with it so far
@@Recipe_For_Disaster_TVThat’s awesome!!!🔥🔥🔥
my first handgun when i turned 21 in1986 was a glock 17. was a great gun. i remember trying to figure out how to strip it down. i put a mark on the rear retaining plate be trying to pry it off. this was way before the internet so there was no info on how to do it.
i sold it a few years later . i still though have my g19 gen 2 that i bought in89 . still have the receipt box and all. what is suprising is that a new glock today is only a couple hundred more than what i paid in 89 .
I still have my original I bought back in 87 for reasons too long to go into detail, let's just say I lived in MD at the time, it has less than 500 rounds through it along with the egg crate case. It is a work of art.
I'm a gen5 owner but I always liked the squared off look the most.
Same. I hate how they’re beveling everything now.
@@seanvine39 Specifically the front of the slide by the barrel. Not a fan
@@myst8217That square muzzle is just iconic.
Cool pistol. I bought a gen 3 G17 not too long ago. It's the most accurate handgun I own. It took me a while to warm up to Glock, but I get it now. Looks, ergonomics, and sights be damned...it's a solid workhorse.
I think Glocks are beautiful but to each their own.
OK since nobody's said it yet, for nostalgia's sake "Rock out with your Glock out."
Went in earlier this year to purchase my first handgun and this one fit perfectly in my hand. I was forcing myself to lean more towards newer generations, but I couldn't go away from this G17 GEN1. I was born in '94, so the idea of having the same first buy buyer experience as some of you caught my interest. I like the frame not having an accessory railing and everything just looking plain and simple. Eventually, I want to get another one later and not shoot it
The true half life 1 pistol in my heart.
I wanna get one of these and put a Lambda symbol slide plate on it for this very reason.
I think it was Gen 2 in the game but who cares.
Don, thanks for this! I was one of the early Glock owners in the US when the 17 came out during my LEO days. I've often talked about it with my buddy over the years; told him how much I missed it (had to sell it). Soooo, for my 60th this year, he bought me one of these! Obviously, what a great gift to have things "come back around..."
I bougt my first 17 in 87; still have it! Shot about 300 rounds through it. Awesome!
I have a Gen 1 original, was sold to me by a widow of a New York city Detective. I've cleaned it, but I have never shot it. I got it for 250.00
Same boat here but i bought it brand new during the pandemic for $400. I have other guns i just keep that one brand new in case its worth something someday
I been hoping for years that Smith & Wesson would reintroduce the 5906 series and its variants. I'm sure there's many of us that would pick one up or several for that matter instead of having to wait around for some old police surplus models to turn up online. Hopefully, they'll follow suit C'mon S&W!!!
Thanks Don great review of original
I have respect for the Glock, they are excellent pistols, but i still prefer the Beretta 92.
and i feel the same about both of those and prefer the Browning Hi-Power/ FN GP35. Neither the Glock or Beretta fit my hand as nicely.
One of the only guns that never needed an upgrade.
what? haha... they cant even compete in a modern market.
@@maximusjoseppi5904They don’t have to. Nothing can compete against a Glock. Glocks are the most reliable handguns ever existed. People buy them more for a reason. And math never lies. You do.
@@maximusjoseppi5904for not being able to compete in the modern market they sure do remain one of the top selling pistols
@@reiniergarciareliable yes but so outdated. Least ergonomic thing you can imagine
@@reiniergarcia nothing? M&p, usp, pdp, p-10, 226, all great guns which offer much more than a Block does.
I bought the same Gen 1 Glock as a rookie and the old timers said it would MELT in the sun. LOL
I have one of these. I bought it for myself for my birthday in May. I love it!! I'll only shoot it once a year on my birthday.
An awesome review!
Proud to have one..
I have to get this. I'm so glad they re-released the gen 1
Pretty neat, thanks for sharing brother 🇺🇸
So I found one yesterday at my LGS. Again you are right on the money Don. I really like this model. I carry my Gen5 19 for EDC in a TRex arms Sidecar 2.0. I am seriously considering adding this one to my new rotation. I threw some trijicon HD orange and polished the internals and it is an incredibly sweet shooter. Thanks again for another great review.
I have a real Gen 1 marked MPDC , the box it came with has the 17 ammo holders molded into it. Love it, would never part with it.
My first Glock came in that tubaware type box when I got my Glock 22...wish I still had it.
Awesome video nice glock 17 gen 1 thanks for sharing sootch00
I heard about this gun back in late 86 or earl 87. I wish I had gotten one then instead of the Taurus 92 I bought. I got rid of the Taurus decades a go (never again buy one) I have since enjoyed the Glock and even carried it. I like it.
I remember lusting over those when they first came out!
Hey Sootch
been watching you for years .Love your reviews .Have you checked out the shield arms z9 mag for the G43 9 rounds .Great and a ets 12 rd in the pocket
Great review! I hadn't heard about this one. Question. How does it differ from the P80? Thanks,
We’re buying this. Thanks
I have an original gen 1, still shoot it today.....had a problem with it a few years ago. The lockback on the slide had rounded out and would not stay open......sent it back to Glock and they fixed the issue.....
Very cool!
I picked up one of the P80 repro a few years ago. Honestly a great gun (for a Glock). Solid shooter that uses all my PCC mags! Winning!
Love my 1986 Gen1
Been a Glock owner for a while I own a g19 gen 5, g44 and a g19x love them don't have that one yet hopefully soon 2A🇺🇲 hello from Phoenix Arizona 👋👍
Would love to try
With the passing of Gaston Glock, this will definitely go up in value. R.I.P. Mr. Glock
Would love to have one
1911 of nowadays!!! Great , beautiful design!
For me, this apparently will be the first Glock I get to try.
My favorite firearm👍🏼💯
I must have one
Fun range gun for sure. The lack of gripyness is my only gripe.
Just got one of these yesterday, my first firearm. Well technically second, but my first that I bought. Got it for $560 from Academy.
Glock is like Volkswagen. For specific people.
I think it's great that they brought the Gen 1 Glock back into production, but I for one would love it if they did the same thing with the Gen 2 Glock 17 and 19. They were the best.
Why is that? I'm kind of new to Glocks.
Super Nice
Cool to have the opertunity to get your hands on a reproduction G17 Gen1... What music was this? it went will with the intro.
I bought the p80 a few years back.
I did too. Good gun. I like it better than my Gen 5 to be honest.
Do you still shoot the 25-45 sharps? I haven't seen many hunting videos on it. I'm going to hunt with mine this year but I don't record my hunts.
This would be perfect fr the CAA MCK since we cannot use a light on it.
I want one.
based on Lipsey's pricing of $669...I bought a Bul Armory Cherokee Compact for $299 & a Taurus G2C for $225 and 2 extra mags for each; I am in a combo of bulk sell-off to cover medical bills & budgeted selective replacing to move from firearms enthusiast to basic self defense
probably the only glock i want
Would this model be good for a guy with XL hands?
They just got it right the first time. Sig, HK, Walther, Beretta, CZ, and whoever else -bros just cant cope
G17 and G22 my babies ❤️💯💯😂😂
I always known that, what gen 1 someday will be back! T1 theme 😎
Now does this one have the polygonal rifling or is it the conventional rifling used in the Gen 5 Glocks?
You can even carry this gun if you want, is reliable like any other Glocks. Sounds like cool have the gun who started it all in the hip.
Gaston Glock, my second favorite Austrian
“If you had one of those early Glocks, this brings back memories….”
That’s really all this is. Nostalgia for the Glock fans, lol. Why else you paying $20 more for this Gen 1 tech than a Gen 5 Glock?!?
Here in California we have to buy guns on a roster. So we are stuck with the Gen 3. My Gen 3 G17 is made in Austria... I purchased it a few months ago, new.
I like the look of the Gen 3 best, but maybe I'm bias, because the finger groves fit my fingers perfectly, which really locks my grip in tight.
I like the finger grooves also. I think gen 3 has the best reliability track record also at least 9mm models.
Same thing for me
Always thought the 1st Gen was the coolest.😅
Someone offered me a massive amount of money and a new in the box Gen 4 for my original 17 , I thought this guy was HIGH ! I didn't know I had underwear dwars full of plastic gold lol
Sootch, please review a G17 Vickers Tactical Edition 👍
Have the Tupperware box for my g26
Can you please do a review of the Tisas Raider which is the Colt M45A1 clone.
I have a friend that wants me to buy his 1989 Gen 2 in mint condition. He bought it new for home security and hasn't fired it much. He said maybe a 100 rounds total. It has 2 clips, the paperwork, & the case it came in. What would be a reasonable price for one? It looks brand new. Thanks
I hope Lipsey's does the G19 next.
Mine has finger grooves and a rail also has 2 pins above trigger. I don't have box I have a standard case .. all 3 serial number match .also says usa
My local gun shop has an original 1988 gen 1 for $2500. Its in really good shape considering
I have one, it's not worth that much.
@@Asidebar I would never spend $2500 on a glock 🤣 the gun shop seems to think it's worth every penny
I needed a good laugh 😂 $2500 is hilarious
They're high
That’s crazy’s, considering that now the Gen 1 and P80 Glocks are for sale. Same gun.
Have a Pistola 80 from few years ago so basically this is a different nomanclature Glock 17 on the slide ? I need a Talon grip for mine. I actually prefer the Generation 3 over all the generations.
Love my 17 gen one. Never has hiccuped once.
No kidding it is the best ever handgun period.
Now am I not only getting this, I gotta get a P80 too. 😂
Will this be available everywhere or no ?
VERY nice. 😊👍
Up until 5 months ago, I had a model 19 gen 1. I sold it to my friend who never even fired a Glock..now he owns an original.
Gen 2
Glock did not make a G19 in Gen 1
I graduated high school for gunsmithing with excellent grades and went on an internship at HSprodukt and now I've been unemployed for 3 months because I can't find a job as a gunsmith anywhere and I don't know what to do now
Sootch, nope it didn't come with the Gen ll, I've bought my 1st Glock, the model 17 back in '91, it has the spring separate from the guide rod. My box is same as the gen l,,,,,
I’m thinking of getting my first gun is this a good option? I love this old school Glock and I am thinking of pulling the trigger no pun intended.
8:38 bore doesn’t look concentric to the barrel ?
yeap, my old Glock box has a hole through the middle so you can put a lock cable through it. It speaks of the Glock came out in '87
Glock bless Austria ✔
Definitely a candidate if I wanted to scratch that G17 itch.
I remember back in the day, when these were legal in the UK, obviously under licence, and prior to Handgun ban. I got... It'll break, never catch on, plastic rubbish! Who's laughing now!
Does that also mean you have to find 1st gen specific parts? Harder to find more expensive
One day they gonna make a movie about glock just like oppenheimer
That might be the only 9mm I’ve ever wanted.
I’m assuming it is a Gen three style trigger ?
Yeeah Gen1 still my dream, it from GLOCK inc? Or Replica from lipsey's?
