I ended up buying a G17 Gen6. Here it is with my existing 9mm’s. Top left to right then bottom left to right: Springfield XD sub-compact. Great everyday carry shown with the 10-round carry mag and a 16-round double stack with finger rest. That finger rest sure helps when shooting. Next is a Sig P226 with a 10-round mag. I have some 30-round mags for it but they stick so far out they are not practical. Bottom left is the new G17 with a 17-round double stack. To its right is a Beretta M9 with a 15 round magazine.

I’ve never liked Glocks because they dont fit my hand however this Gen6 fits my hands better than all the others.

I’ll buy some 33 rounder Glock mags. Not necessarily for the G17 and more for the Henry Homesteader which is on order at the local gun shop.

That's a nice set of 9s

Thanks. Im thinking of getting a threaded barrel for one. Maybe the M9.

I have a 9mm or three, but prefer 45s or 40s in semi Autos, or 38/357 revolvers.

However, 9mm ammo is plentiful and usually fairly affordable as long as the world situation doesn't place it in high demand. It's also usually comparably low recoil and very accurate in the right gun. Can make a great DC gun with modern self defense ammo as well.

It can be an excellent choice, especially for new shooters.
I am just old school I guess, or maybe just... Old.

Wonderful lineup of 9’s. To me there’s just something about an M9 that is so pleasing to the eye.

You got that right. Mine is marked with the correct 65490 nomenclature.

Nice. I like how all three are different.

Good for you!! I picked up a Glock want-to-be (Stoeger STR-9MC), a few months back. For the most part, I like it. The only thing that may be a negative is the backstrap may dig in the palm some, after a few rounds. But, it may do the trick, while using in cold weather. Nevertheless, it does shoot nice!

Shooting in the cold would be important around here.

I put a red dot on the Glock and didn’t like it. The main reason was because it took me forever to get a sight picture. I have a threaded barrel coming for it so I can suppress it. The problem is the can covers up the sight picture of the OEM sights. The red dot is higher and doesn’t get blocked. I’m not sure if I’ll leave the red dot on it.

Using an rdo takes a while to get used to. As you get used to it you get faster, more precise and possibly accurate. It helps with pistol cans.

It makes clocking the can to point of impact a lot faster than tapping the rear sight or using a little screw driver on the rear dovetail sight.

This will be for home defense and of distances under 20 feet. At that distance i dont really have to aim so it might work. The can covers the sight picture and the OEM sights are the G 17-6 are fantastic. I might want to use another pistol and ufse it for plinking. Im not sure what I’ll do.

I was in my local gun shop last year and they had an Echelon Package on sale. This was a limited release and they only got ONE in. I don't normally shoot handguns with Optics, but the price they quoted was excellent and Miss T said if I passed on it and decided later I wanted it, it would be gone, so I brought it home.


The Echelon is a high cap full size 9mm with optics.

The package they had in the shop was called a "GEAR UP" package.
Had a lot in it.

Couldn't pass it up. I have shot the Echelon several times, but haven't swapped out yet. I can't quite get used to the optic. The main reason it the grips don't quite fit MY hands just right so the gun naturally points just a bit HIGH. It has interchangeable rear panels, but they don't YET offer flat panels for the rear. Not yet.

I like the gun and the way it shoots, it's accurate for me. It's NOT fast out of the holster, as I have to Consciously bring the muzzle down to bring the optic's dot on target. Otherwise it would be just about perfect.

The optics on the Glock is the same for me.
