Which Glock 17 should I [almost] buy?

[Impulse]

there's realistically every chance that two pistols are one too many in my loadout.

I run a GBB and my mk23 at the same time in my loadout. One on each leg. It's surprisingly doable and useful (mk23 for silent pews, but GBB for most sidearm shooting / moving about)

One thing to bear in mind, which I picked up from at least two different sources, is that the Gen 4 17 has the big mag release catch, and apparently it's rather too easy to bump that and pop the mag out.

I also got warned by  @1967PF44  who's owned plenty of pistols is that the TM G17 Gen 4 was the only that had broken on him.  Twice for the slide, and once for the hammer.   Maybe he's very unlucky, but it's something to bear in mind.

Anyway, I'm happy with my cheapo G19 for the moment, I need to spend all my 'spare' cash on G36 and HK416 mags ;]

I don't have room on my battlebelt for two holsters!

Yeah, it's a running joke at my local site that Glock mags go missing because of that. 1911 mags are also a prime contender because if you don't get an appropriate holster they wiggle about and end up hitting the mag catch because they're smaller than most pistols.

And I hate pistols on my belt because I need to be able to sit in a shooting position, and suppressed pistols just immediately dig into the ground as soon as I do. I'm fairly tall though, so I use drop legs mounted very high on my leg which allows me to sit or kneel without sending the suppressor straight into the mud. Also one of my GBBs is an SMG and I don't think there are any belt-mounted holsters for SMGs (could be wrong, but I love my leg one anyway)
