A G17 was my first handgun and seventeen years later it is still a keeper! It has digested untold thousands of rounds and keeps on ticking. I don't have a lot of experience with the 2nd and 3rd generation guns, but finger grooves are not really my cup of tea. I have also had an Argentine P35 copy for a number of years, and although it is a great gun, I find that it is a bit chunkier and certainly heavier than the G17 and holds fewer rounds. The P35 is a stay at home and range gun only whereas the G17 is an almost daily CCW gun for me. Every gun has it's detractors, and the Glocks maybe more than others, but you have to go with what works for you. Everything else is just a bunch of hype.
