The pistol shot pretty well.
https://www.americanrifleman.org/art...20-m17-pistol/
What do we know about the M17 commercial model vs the Real Deal? What's different between the Army's pistol and the civilian one?
And what's the deal with the M18? Anyone heard a rumor about a commemorative or commercial model? Or maybe an M18 conversion kit?

I’m still looking at this like “that’s a P250 in drag with a high bore-axis and a single action that has no trigger safety” so as much as I would like to get one, I won’t.

Not necessarily. Check out this review:

Guess they did not buy enough advertising to get the story buffed.

Joking aside, mine shoots well. I need to get a holster for it. I put a TLR-8 on it.
I will buy the M18 as a companion piece if they come out with it.
It’s a weird circle.
We had huge service pistols in metal, like the M9.
Then a bunch of strikers with some size decrease.
Then full sized competion strikers.
Now full sized service striker pistols, FNX, M17, etc.
While I like full sized guns, compacts, and subcompacts just big enough to get a full grip on,
I still am not enamored with full sized grips combined with compact slides/barrels.
But for some reason, a compact slide like a G19 with a subcompact grip like a G26 I could do.

I'm somewhat disappointed in the American Rifleman for not doing a larger, dedicated piece to a new service pistol. This is big news for military connoisseurs and collectors and the M17 is in all likelihood the best service pistol ever conceived. Even if it is not, it is still a big deal and deserves some sizeable page space dedicated to introducing our new service pistol. Was hoping for a review of the actual contract gun vs. the commercial variant.

Print and online are not always the same. I'd expect a full-on magazine spread at some point in the near future.
