Re: Glock 17 gen 3 questions
Just look it up on YouTube. Everything you ever wanted to know is on there. Any gen mag will work in a gen 3. Some of the newer mags are setup for right and left hand mag release. The older mags are right hand only. The only tool needed to takedown a glock is a punch to push the pins out. Just make sure the trigger safety works. I had an issue with mine with some aftermarket parts. Gen3 is a great gun. Super reliable.
Re: Glock 17 gen 3 questions
As far as i could tell, the trigger safety works. Trying to pull the trigger without the additional blade would not release the striker.
I appreciate the information on the mags. Certainly makes sense why it matters for some generations and not others.
