Hi everyone just found this and thought I would give it a try.

Thanks

I just purchased a used Glock 17. I paid $500 for the pistol,holster,2 17 round magazines, 1 30 round magazine, 1 Glock knife, and 50 rounds. I am thinking that it is a Gen 1. It has no mounting rails and no finger grips. I was wondering if I paid too much for it? I was told that I should have only given the guy $350 for it. Like I said I am a rookie at the gun purchasing thing.

You didn't get a really hot deal, but you didn't get burned either. Might
be a second gen gun---they didn't have rail or finger grooves either.
Buy a pile of cheap ammo and go shoot it!

If it shoots good for you and has no hic-ups you have plenty of mags. and a holster and a nice knife I'd say you did ok. All thats left is the fun part.

Shot it

Yeah just went out and shot my Glock today put about 100 rounds through it. I actually shot a really good pattern with it. Love the smooth trigger on it. Can't really complain about it. I only have two things about it. I have to aim low on my target. Two when I cock the slide back it looks as if the barrel and the spring rod are bent upward. I don't know if this is normal or not but I had no problem shooting it.
