If I were in your situation I would probably pick up a lower, a quality BCG, and would then likely trade one of the 17s for a 19 for CC. In regards to a lower, two ways you could go about it. Buy a complete lower, which is going to run you about $380-400 for a BCM lower meaning you'd be adding about $50 for a BCM BCG. Or build one, which going with the minimum of quality I would use, IE I am going to lean towards as good as I can, It wouldn't necessarily be cheaper, though I might end up with an ACT trigger for the same price as buying a complete BCM lower. Of course I you want to forgo the BCG and dump a full $500 into building a lower you can build yourself a damn nice one with top of line parts. I also of options listed would push for BCM, and I can say that with having shot a smith and stag side by side my BCM and the BCM is more gun. The last one I never heard of.
This is solely my opinion. Though I helped a friend build an AR from lower up over the course of about 5 months last year during the scare. The only part I would like to see him replace is the PSA BCG he dropped in it. But that is neither here nor there.
sell both glocks:cool:
Keep the pistols, buy a lower now and keep saving for your upper.
You have 2 perfectly good pistols that will cover all of your immediate needs for:
Self defense, home defense, training/classes, general range time
You're already saving up for an AR. You have the major bases covered as of now and that's having 2 Glock 17s.
I would continue to save the rest of the money to purchase the AR. I would also say, given your choices, to go with the BCM. You should keep an eye open in the EE for complete rifles or separate uppers/lowers. I've seen some pretty solid prices lately within the EE.
Here's another vote for keeping the Glocks, getting a BCM lower now, and then getting an upper when funds allow. You can get a complete BCM Blem lower (minus the stock) for $350. The blemished lowers are a great deal.
