Glock 17
Opinions, please. In particular, if you got a free one somehow, would you keep it or sell it?

Keep it. Good pistol for personal defense. You can never have enough guns.

Keep it!!
You can't go wrong with a Glock. They may not be pretty, and they feel different at first, but they ALWAYS work.
Plus, Everyone living in a Reasonable state, can buy High capacity magazines. Mine happen to have Dawson Precision Extenders on them, giving me 23 round Magazines.

Good general work pistol, goes bang reliably and has a wide variety of accessories available, holsters and such.
During the 5 year period i worked at a weapons shop/indoor range, never came across major problems with a Glock 17 and we sold hundreds of pistols.

Great reliable pistol. I just wish they didn't have a revolver trigger. But you can fix that too

the Glock 17 is my preferred pistol.
I carried it for nearly a year in South America, in both jungle and urban environments. I found it concealable, qnd reliable, and it shrugged off both sweat and the humidity of the Amazon.
I also used "+2" mags with it, and I have to say that the ability to carry nearly 60 rounds in three magazines, one in the weapon, and two in the harness, endeared it to me.
I prefer it to all other Glocks.
Call me old school.

Since you're talking about Glocks, are the prices on this website good? Prices at the bottom of the page.

Those Prices are pretty good. Only place I have ever seen any cheaper was at Gunshows.

I am looking to purchase but not till after the first of the year. Hurricane expenses and the upcoming holidays are putting everything on hold. Guess I need to win the lottery.
