The
Glock 17 has a well-earned reputation as a rugged, reliable, and battle-tested duty pistol for law enforcement and the military. But its size has convinced many people to assume the gun is a poor concealed carry companion. When comparing it to other common carry handguns, I wasn't so convinced.
To give the gun a fair shake as an EDC carry piece – my test gun was actually a
used LEO G17 Gen 4 – it only seemed fair to give it some time in both cold and warmer weather. After all, you’re everyday clothing changes, and your everyday carry guns and gear should be able to answer that challenge. So, does the Glock 17 do that?
