New to firearms, got a glock17!

Hi from WA, Seattle area. Got a new glock 17 gen3 and excited. Also excited to join glock talk community- just had a question on sd ammo choice cleared up! I'm completely new to firearms. I'm educating myself thoroughly in this space, watching lots of Youtube videos on gun cleaning and maintenance, how they work, safety etc. I'm a DIY type of person and now I have yet one more thing to keep me busy!

Can't wait to start shooting classes. They're completely booked like 3 weeks ahead. Man, nowadays I sleep a little better!

Thanks!

Welcome to a new world full of new, like-minded friends.

You certainly started with a fine gun. Great choice.

Welcome. I think the G17 is an excellent choice for your first firearm.
