Nice purchase.
I bought my first Glock recently also. I went with your gun's baby brother...the G26. I now have two of them since I added the G33 to my collection as well.
They are great little beaters. They will never be my favorite guns but they are among my most trusted.

I hope you will enjoy your new Glock. I love my model 17. Went to the range yesterday for the first time with my brother. Of all my handguns (several S&W revolvers and a Browning HP) he shot my Glock the best. He never fired a gun before but he kept all his shots in the 8, sometimes 9-ring of a pistol target at 15 meters with it
Range Report
Rainy today, so i went to the indoor range to try out the G17 for the first time. Shot 150 rounds total at various distances. Practiced double taps and mozambiques and all that but i just wanted to throw up a couple pics show you how the gun handled. I think it shot like a dream.
This was the very first target of the day, Slow fire (1 shot/sec), 2 magazines (34 rds) of 115g WWB at 10 yards.
This was 5 rounds of 124g Federal Hydra Shok at 10yds, very slow fire, I thought maybe i missed one of the shots but there wernt any stray hits so i assume i hit air on one of the five. (Quarter for sizing)
This was the last 50rds of the day at 10 yards, semi-slow fire, 25 rounds of WWB and 25 of Federal Hydra Shoks. I was letting the shot off as soon as the sights came back on target after recoil, I had gotten used to the trigger reset at this point and that really helped with accuracy.
Overall I am super-pleased with the way the gun performed and with the price of ammo, 9mm is easy on the wallet to shoot. I wouldnt go so far to say I am a glock-snob (i did shoot my HK USPc today as well) but I am a fan of this gun.

Is it me, or do I see five holes here? I don't think you hit air. That center group looks like three holes to me, four if you count the hole partially attached on the upper right.
