Re: school me on the glock 17 RTF2
Neko not for nothing but how could the glock be "one of the most copied guns" if the Glock itself IS a COPY?
Remember these guns? They were made and marketed in the US 10 years before Glocks were ever even invented.

Re: school me on the glock 17 RTF2
the only thing i find similar between the glock and the hk shown is the polymer frame. as far as i know everything else mechanical is different. i don,t think anyone here will argue the point that glock was not the first to use poly frames. but you gotta admit it was the first most widely accepted poly frame pistol.

With the multiple back strap option the Gen 4's certainly offer the most options for a good fit. The Gen 3 is just right for me but I know a couple guys that are much happier having the option for a marginally smaller grip with the Gen 4's.
Let us on know what you think after fondling a few.
The Gen 3's are generally $50 cheaper but they also only come from Glock with 2 mags whereas the Gen 4's have 3 mags in the box. Though even with buying a third mag you'd still save $20 to $30 bucks.

Didnt have a chance to posy here before.
The RTF2 is simply a 3rd Gen GLOCK with a Rough Texture Frame.
You really need to handle one. Some people have complained about them wearing shirts and what have you. Personally mine is carried IWB and I have yet to have it destroy a under or over shirt, or stick the shirt to the frame and print more or rub me raw on the bare stomach flesh it rubs on.
I own a 19 and 17 RTF2. They can still be found, although Im not clear on wether GLOCK is only making them for LE sales now or not at all.
heres one

If you get a chance to, handle one, shoot one, a stock 17 will feel like a bar of soap compared to it.
The Gen 4 texture is not quite as grippy, but still gives more friction then the regular 3rd or 3nd gen guns. The replaceable back straps make it so you can reduce the circumphrence of the grip to a degree.
The issue is that the 4th gen guns havent had a strong start. They changed A LOT about the design, have recalled or quietly replaced a series of recoil springs, changed the slide slightly, and now are exchanging ejectors. The 17's have had less issues than the 19's that I have seen, but still I am weary. They are not the same design GLOCK built its reputation on. Im all stocked up on 2nd and 3rd Gen's personally. But maybe in a year if the newest ones run right and we start hearing of higher round count guns going strong I'll try one out.

Not sure if your near targetmaster but synergy (JimD) and d90king ( both better found on www.firearmstrainingandtactics.com ) both have some RTF2 guns. Shoot them a PM.
