distance, sight radius is not a significant factor until you reach the sub-compact sized handguns where the sight radius can quickly drop to the 3 in. Since most defensive situations occur within a 50 ft.
The longer the sight radius, the more accurate your sight alignment is. Sight Radius is the distance between the rear and front sight. However, size does matter – and if you have a smaller frame I believe an excellent alternative is the Glock 19, a compact version of the Glock 17 and more easily concealed on a small framed individual.

In either case – concealed carry or course work – I find the Glock to be an excellent full sized handgun. My choice in this environment is the Blackhawk Serpa holster. It conceals easily and draws smoothly from that position.įor the new shooter, most course work is done with an OWB holster worn on your dominant side. My personal choice is a Blackhawk IWB holster worn at the 4 o’clock position.

It was unique at the time of its introduction – and continues to be unique in many different ways even today. You deserve an explanation for my strong belief in that. If you have limited funds and want/need to purchase your first hand gun – I believe the Glock 17 (or sister Glock 19) should be your choice. I want to present it from a “first gun purchase” point of view. Given my strong feelings, I think I need to offer a bit more than “because I said so”.
It’s one of the three handguns I believe every shooter – especially new shooters – should own. Hundreds of reviews have been offered by the shooting community of this revolutionary hand gun. His US plant opened in Smyrna, Georgia in 1985 – and the rest, as they say, “is history”. Gaston Glock first introduced the Glock 17 in the early 80s with his first military contract with the Austrian Army being signed in 1983.
I suppose I am a bit late to this particular party.
