I picked up my M17 yesterday
Just a 100 round trial.
At about 670$ out the door it is not the cheapest polymer offering out there. But it is optic ready and has night sights.
Small, sub optimal dots for shooting fast in my opinion. An excuse to grab a romeo1 I guess. Supposedly that combo offers cowitness.
The slide release/stop is not ideal to manipulate due to the safety. The safety I thought was small and would be an issue, but has not been.
Trigger, pointability, and grip are superior to me than an out of box Glock.
(But all my Glocks are decades old)
Profile and bore axis are nearly identical to a 226.
Mags are not the least expensive compared to the competition.
I may get a TLR8 for it.
My primary several decades of use has been dedicated to the 19/17/26 and 92/92C type platforms.
I often get something else for use just for familiarization and fun.
This has lead to all three sizes of Cougars, XDMs, PX4s, probably the APX centurion and Compact if I ever see one in real life, Canis TP9s, 5096/6906, etc. etc.
As for the chassis, I could care less.
I am not intrigued or interested in this concept at all.
I have long ago found on ARs I am not going to swap uppers on a lower, I will just end up dedicating new lowers to the uppers.
Same with this or the APX. Why have another pistol setups I have to swap the chassis in? I will just get the other pistols.
Speaking of which, I would grab an M18 if they make a commercial version.
To be honest, I only took an interest in this gun because it is an issue version.
