An actual milsurp Glock 17

In the U.S. military, all of the SOF units that used to use 1911s, SIGs, H&Ks, etc. are now carrying Glock 17s and 19s. So the Glock is as much an operator's weapon as it is a non-combat arms weapon.

DEVGRU recently switched to the P320 X-5, but the vast majority do still use Glocks.

This reminds me that we had some NASA Security surplus Glock 17s come through work last year, but because they weren't allowed to be sold off as surplus like many items we handle, it was a giant headache trying to find someone to take them and unfortunately they ended up (via gov't regs) having to be torch cut last month. Our metal recycler did it in the middle of our yard and left all the pieces in a pile on the ground, which led to some "really, asshole?" (but more politely stated) emails.

Nice find, though, and in such good shape. I always liked the pre-rail Glocks best
