Why the Glock 17 is Popular Among Law Enforcement and as a Trade In

I’m hardly a Glock fanboy, but I’m not willing to overly knock a gun that just works, and works, and works. I actually like to run cheap – not bad, but budget – reload ammo through some of my guns during testing. If the ammo fails, that’s one thing, and there are normally some tell-tale signs that it was the ammo and not the gun’s fault. But a gun that can eat the cheap stuff just like it does primo ammo is worth mentioning.

I just feel like it keeps the testing process honest to use non-premium ammo from time to time. Still, neither the cheap ammo nor the gun itself has ever failed to put rounds down range when it came to my used LEO Glock 17.

Generally, I’m a fan of used service guns because they come with some history that just makes the guns so much more interesting to me. Still, it’s hard to ignore the fact that even a used Glock is a gun that can live through a whole lot more shooting before you even need to worry about it. Better yet, it comes with some other extra perks, so let’s dig into this used Glock 17 Gen 4 that was once the daily carry of a police officer and found its way into my personal safe.
