Longslide Glocks
« on: August 07, 2005, 04:23:09 AM »
I'm considering my first Glock purchase. This handgun will get its' share of hunting time for coyotes, groundhogs and various other varmints. I'm deciding between a 9mm or a .40S&W calibers and in the longslide versions, which would be the 17L (9mm) or 24 (.40S&W) models.

I have shot and owned 38Spl., .357Mag., 44Mag., 45ACP and BP 44 revolvers. I am choosing between 9mm and .40S&W, instead of 45ACP for better control. This handgun will also double as a "house gun" for home defense, but will not be a CCW.

Your opinions and experiences with the longslide accuracy, caliber choice and anything else you can think of is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Bowhunter57

I would go with the 40S&W definitely. New barrel and you can have a 357 Sig which is better yet for hunting.

I tend to agree. I just bought a 17L and it's great, but for varminting the 40 or 357sig would be better. The ultimate would be a G-24 with a fitted Jarvis  357sig barrel and adjustable sights, like Dawsons'. Maybe even a drop in 357sig barrel, I've gotten exelent results with a KKM drop in barrel.
You can get the Dawson sights with fiber optics for low light.
One thing to remember though, the longslide is not necessarily more accurate. My Glock 20/10mm is still more accurate than my 17L, although it's a very close race. Over the last few weeks, it seems as though my G-20 with the drop in KKM .40s&w barrel is the most accurate, shooting extremely well out to 50 yards with good CCI ammo.

Get a Glock 35. It has a long slide,adjustable sights,3.5 lb. trigger, and mine is super accurate and dependable. Mine has the acc. rail and I use the M3 light on it. I have found the Glock light less dependable than the M3 tactial light. The 35 Glock with the M3 is my "go to" bedside wepon.
