Hi fellas, I just bought myself a new Glock G17. I was just wandering if maybe you guys could give me some advice. Im a newbie when it comes to the Glock. So here goes.
1.Could I or should I carry this gun IWB? I bought an Uncle Mikes Sidekick #5 IWB holster the gun fits nicely. But I dont want any accidents. :wink: Is this safe?
2. I bought this gun due to its HI Cap Mags. But where on earth can I find them? All that I want is Maybe two 17 rounders.
3. What would your choice for carry load?
4. My Glock didnt come with a Manual. How do I get one? Or Any good books concerning this gun?

Thanks for any and all info. :wink:

IWB in an Uncle Mikes should be just fine.
Personally I'd carry either Cor-Bon 115 gr. JHPS or Federal 115 gr. 9BP.
You'll have to look around a bit for the hi-caps... and expect to pay for 'em right now! A good 17 rounder will set you back around $100. You might look at www.glockmeister.com and see if they've got any... or check the "For Sale" section at GlockTalk.com .

DON'T cheap out and buy ProMag, USA or Scherer mags for the thing. Try to find FML, drop free mags. They're a little more expensive but worth it. Like Flyer said, I've seen 'em go as high as $100 a pop but I've also gotten deals here and there. Got a pair of FML Gen 2 mags for $120 once from Auction Arms.

Flyer, I knew that you would pull through. Thanks for the info.
I bought this gun because of it ability to hold Hi Caps. I didnt know that they were so hard to find. Maybe I should have bought the CZ 75 or Ruger P95. Hi Caps for them cost a little of nothing and are plentiful. :shock:

Here's a pair of NFML non drop frees with a "buy it now" price of $79.00.

Good choice

big lead.........

you're gonna love your G17. It should be even more accurate than my G19 with it's slightly longer barrel.
I compared a bunch of JHP ammo a year ago and found Speer 124gr+p Gold Dot JHP expanded the best with excellent penetration in mine. That's what I carry.

FWIW,
