I finally got around to applying for my gun permit about a month ago, but I'm still undecided as to which handgun I should purchase. I've always liked the Glock 22 and 23 but then I started thinking. I'm in the process with customs for an inspector position with only the BI left to go. Maybe it would be a good idea to get the Glock 17, which inspectors carry. Is there really much of a difference between the Glock 17 and 22? I never really had any interest in getting a 9mm. Would there be any sense in getting the G 17 just because I might be training with that weapon in the customs academy? Or would shooting the G 17 at FLETC just be that much easier if I buy a G22 now and practice on that?

Thanks.

It doesnt really matter which one you buy. The Glock 17 is very user friendly. I never shot a Glock until I went to FLETC and was perfectly fine with it.

Just curious... were you issued the newer Glock model with the hand grips?
