    Vicker Tactical Glock FDE 17 worth the extra money ?

    I was looking to sell my G17 and get a FDE G17. I am looking at both FDE Gen 3 G17 and Vickers Tactical FDE G17. I am not sure I will like the sight on LAV FDE G17 and it cost around $151.00 differents in price. I am looking for feedback from LAV FDE G17 Owners. (UPDATE) at 2214, I just Won one off of Gunbroker.com for $595.00, I finally got one.

    Not a Vickers owner, but I had a G17 RTF and a G19 RTF. Sold them both--for me, the Gen. 4 dual recoil spring does more for recoil control than the RTF grip, and while the RTF does a great job of locking your grip in, it also chafes like crazy when carried against the skin. I also prefer 3 dot sights, and don't lIke the Vickers setup. In the end my preference would be Gen. 4 > Gen. 3 > RTF. I also prefer the full FDE over the two-tone, but other than appearance, I'm not sure what difference that makes.

    Approaching my final curtain and purchased his G17 & G19, to complete all models & generations of G19 & G17's. They are for my six grandchildren to enjoy, personally I don't like the sight setup.

    Yes. They are a collectable item (as they are all gone).

    When I purchased the 17 & 19, they were only available in Gen 3.

    Do you have a list of all the models/generations, including the LAVs?

    I think the special limited edition Lipsey's Glock 17/19 Vickers Tactical model only come in Gen. 3.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    I was just wondering why LAV and Glock didn't go with GEN 4 ?
