My Glock


Thanks to Stephen, I can now add a Glock 17 to my collection.  This will now complete my SRU impression.  As for the gun itself, it is completely in stock form.  First order of business is to replace the plastic slide with a PGC slide.  As of now, a stock Tokyo Marui Glock 17 will not be able to fit in a Blackhawk SERPA holster due to the plastic slide being slightly larger than an actual one.  With a metal slide, I can use it with the SERPA that I prefer.

Lucky for me, the metal slide and extra mags can be purchased locally so when I gather all the funds, the slide will be replaced.  I had a look at the internals of the slide and it seems simple enough for me to take apart and put together again.  I have done this several times with a P226 and a Desert Eagle but this will be my first time with a Glock.

At first. I was not a fan of Glocks but somehow, the 17 grew on me for some reason.  My preference would be a 1911 or a P226 but since my P226 is missing and I now have two 1911s, I needed a sidearm for my law enforcement impressions.  The 17 is perfect for this, seeing as Toronto Police also use it.  I can't wait to game this pistol once I finish the upgrade.
