Hi there,
I just bought a Gen 3 G17. It was sold as a used gun, but the previous owner never put a round through it. It still has the copper colored factory grease on the slide. This is my first handgun, however I have been shooting guns for a long time. I would generally rent them at the range or go with my buddies and use theirs. Since my kids are now older, and they all know how to handle a gun, I decided it was time I get my own. I went with the recommendation of the shop owner who directed me to this one over other guns that were more expensive in his case. I feel I met an honest shop owner. Anyhow, I am looking for some advice. What is the best ammo, what holsters do you all like etc. What rounds should I put through it while I am breaking it in. Since California has really strict laws, I won't be able to pick it up till next Saturday morning. I plan to get snap caps to practice my trigger pull since I am not used to this type of trigger. So thats it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Earl
