Got a Gen 3 G 17 this weekend. so far I like it. it only came with one extra mag, but it did come with a fairly nice case and cleaning brush/ rod and a firearm lock.
the firearm lock is the type that goes through the ejection port and the magazine well. I am concerned on using this as a long term solution (more than a few hours) as keeping the slide locked in the back position keeps the recoil spring compressed.
Any thoughts on this?
My next major purchase (tax return...) will be a biometric safe to store it in. I will then have quick access if needed, and also it will be safe (no pun intended) from my (curious and destructive) 5 year old.
Check it out
