    Personally me I don't see a need for a long slide or longer barrel unless competition or hunting with it (not knocking you just a preference). I would just buy a stand size Glock 17 and use the difference with the money to buy some ammo and go shoot. At least my thought is if I can hit a torso size target out to about 15-20 yards I am fine.

    I shoot both in Glock matches and sometimes I do better with one gun over the other, at different times. Both guns are set up the same, fiber optic up front and plain black rear sight. The key is the trigger, and my attention to what I am doing. No real difference in shooting accuracy.

    I'm just a novice...I went the standard route and couldn't be happier....long wouldn't have helped like I was thinking.I only care about home defense and a little fun shooting and mine is all I could ever ask.Standard g17's are pretty long compared to what alot of have anyways.
