Glock Gen 2 Model 17 9mm : What Made Glock so Popular!
The Glock 17 Gen 2, produced from 1988-1998, remains a viable self-defense option and a popular entry-level firearm, often found as affordable police trade-ins. It features a 4.5-inch polygonal rifled barrel, 17-round magazines, and a textured frame without an accessory rail or finger grooves. While generally reliable, early Gen 2 magazines could swell, and the polygonal rifling isn't ideal for lead reloads.
