Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Glock 17 Gen 3 and newer generations?
The Gen 3 features the classic Glock design with finger grooves on the grip, a rail for accessories, and the proven Safe Action system. Later generations (Gen 4 and Gen 5) introduced modular backstraps, improved grip textures, and a flared mag-well, but the Gen 3 remains a battle-tested platform widely used by law enforcement and praised for its simplicity and vast aftermarket support.
Is the Glock 17 compatible with standard 9mm ammunition?
Yes. The Glock 17 chambers standard 9mm Luger (9x19mm) ammunition, which is one of the most widely available handgun cartridges in the world. It reliably cycles full metal jacket (FMJ) target loads as well as a wide range of jacketed hollow point (JHP) defensive ammunition from major manufacturers such as Federal, Hornady, and Speer.
What magazine capacity is legal for the Glock 17 in California?
California law restricts magazine capacity to a maximum of 10 rounds for handguns sold or transferred within the state. As a result, the Glock 17 sold at Goodland Guns in California will be configured with a compliant 10-round magazine rather than the standard 17-round magazine. Always verify current state and local regulations before purchasing additional magazines.
