Item Name: Item Gone: Question for the Glock professionals

Location:

Item is for: Sale/Trade NOT SPECIFIED


Willing to Ship: No

Bill of Sale Required?: No

Item Description: OK, so I did a trade and I got A first generation Glock 17 obviously I want to modify it but it’s hard to modify a first generation. I’m going to keep the original slide, but I want to put a threaded barrel on it but the three barrel I have is gonna be gold so I like to have a custom slide, but you can’t really buy a custom slide for a Glock 17 GEN one. But I have heard that a GEN three might fit does anyone know if a Glock 17 GEN three slide will fit a Glock 17 GEN one before I go out and spend $300 on a slide???

I'd sell it and pick up a newer GEN that's easier to mod or has the mods you want.

I’m about 98% sure Gen 1-3 all work the same.

If it's a real Gen 1, you would be better off selling it and finding a newer one. The Gen 1 can bring $$.

But, parts are made interchangeable between the first 3 Gen's of Glocks. So, if it works for a Gen 3, it will work for you!

Picture please!

I suppose that's a collector's item anymore. Anything you do, you need to be able to put it back original. That's where the money is

The money is in the production date for gen one, probably better off keeping it stock and modifying another one.

Definitely keep it stock . Especially if it has the orginal internals . Just trade it for a newer one plus cash. But you should be able to use a gen 1 2 or 3 slide. The issue is sometimes the older glock frames get "soft" and glock would just swap it for a newer frame (gen3) but it would kill the value . I have seen several gen 1 and 2 glock slides on gen 3 frames done this way by glock and it will take the value from a 800 or more to a 300 to 400 .
"This is not advice its my opinion consult your local glock armory before making any modifications." So they can destroy all collectors value .

True

If it;s In very good condition , I would go on the Glock Talk website & check the S # forum to find out when it was made or just call Glock HQ .

To each his own but I would leave it as is .

GL no matter what .
