Jan 27, 2025 · Hey yall im new here. I recently bought a glock 17L gen 5 MOS. My plan is to build it as a competition gun. I have carried a Glock 30 for years and i am a pretty proficient shooter.

Aug 30, 2010 · A while back ,I finally found a 17L after much searching. Glock only makes the pistol a few times a year. It isn't in the line -up in the regular Glock adds. If you find one consider yourself lucky. After spending trigger time with the pistol, I've found fine shooting with UMC. 115 gr.JHP from Wally. The target shown is fired from 50' off a rest.
