Welcome to my channel I unbox guns in short video format. I focus on what manufacturers include in their packaging but also discuss minor details or features of the platform. I hope you'll subscribe. Let me know if there are any particular unboxings you'd like me to do.

Inherited my dad’s Gen 3 G17.. a great gun. He was a 30yr retired MGYSGT (USMC) and that was the gun he kept in his nightstand until he passed at the good age of 87. Boy, do I miss him. The G17, eats anything, and points like a good bird dog. I’ve done a few minor mods: lighter trigger spring, smooth slide release, and Trijicon sights. It now is in my nightstand and will be there until one of my 3 sons gets it.
My dad bought his gen 2 Glock17 back in 1990 & still has it to this day & works flawlessly.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 - that’s amazing, but typical of a Glock..
@@sboy1955 bro u wrote this on every glock gen 3 video
@@vhulrr Lol, cut & pasted a few, there’s hundreds of YT vids on the G17. It’s a damn good gun and he was a really great man.. 🇺🇸
@Alex Davidson i had my choice of guns but it’s something about this 17. I had it for 5 years now and i wouldn’t take nothing for it. My mom is 70 years old i let her shoot it she even said Son that’s a smooth shooting gun. Lol Trust me your dad knew what he had that’s why he kept it for that long.
First time gun owner and I purchased my first gun last week and picking it up Tuesday! I am so excited for this new hobby and can’t wait to learn more. G17 is the one I went with and glad to hear good things about it 🙌🏽
I think you made a great choice. A lot of people go for smaller framed handguns because the larger ones can seem intimidating.
What a lot of new gun owners don’t get is that those smaller ones are snappier due to the shorter barrel and shorter grip leaving you with very little to grasp on to.
Good luck with your new gun and new found hobby. My first recommendation to any person just getting started is to learn to field strip it, clean it and oil it. Learn how things work internally as this will translate to knowledge at the range should any malfunctions pop up. Secondly, seek training and never stop (regardless of the frequency). Even if it’s every 6 months, learn something new from someone else and put it into practice. Thirdly, spread the word. Get other friends and family involved in the hobby. Help them the way others have helped you.
@@GunBoxTherapy You read my mind haha, I was telling people before getting the gun that I really want to learn the in and out of the gun I am buying. Taking it apart and putting it back together. And I did tell my mother about me getting one and she got encouraged to get one herself!!
You will have no regrets. You will see how good it really is! Take good care of her and she will provide you with a lifetime of security and protection.
Just bought a gen 3 G17 picking it up pretty soon really excited to take to the range and getting familiar with it, it’s my first gun too, so stoked
@@Azer.. I had mine for about 5 months now! I am super excited to have it, it’s a awesome gun.
I’m just here to say I’m happy with my purchase glad to be a member of the Glock family 🤠

Welcome welcome
You won't regret it! Welcome!
My very first firearm is a g17 gen3. Love it
Kudos for the crystal, clear video quality.
Got mine today for $579 not too bad, can’t wait to shoot this thing!
Picked up one...Excellent Weapon
Same!
Just picked mine up 499
Sheesh u shoulda got the g5 for that
@@ghhhdvvProbably from CA we can only have state approved handguns and G5 and G4 are not
I at first hated the mag release. But after shooting over 100 rounds found it smooth as a button now
Just got this Beauty last week 😍 I love my glock 17 gen3.
She’s a beauty! Favorite Glock ever.
so accurate too.Love my GEN 3 G17 . My go to for Home defense/nightstand Gun . i use the Federal HST 124gr + P hollowpoints 1200 fps. good Ammo is important .
I bought mine used at a gun show. It is a Blue Box gun and came from a police academy. It has night sights and had no wear. The dealer really didn't know what he had. So basically I bought a new 2003 Gen 3 for $400. Also the night sights still had some glow left in them.
I got one a few months ago from an estate sale. Older gentleman never got a chance to shoot it. So basically NIB for just under $400. Recently added Glocks night sights to it.
Hmmm, does the glow from the night sights stop glowing at some point?
best pistol ever made hands down. love my gen 3s
i got mine brand new for $425. it’s my first firearm and i love it
I agree with the mag release button. I bought an extended release button and it’s slightly better. Great vid.
For the first timer, the mag release button is too hard. Extender will help a lot.
Picking mine up today for only 550 brand new. Excited to own the gen 3. I have a gen 4 19 and a gen 5 26.
How do you like the 19? I'm waiting to pick up my 17 too but if they finally have the 19 in stock I might exchange it. Any advice helps thanks!
@@alexmar8325 Honestly just depends on how you’re carrying. Like most stuff with guns it’s just preference. I prefer the 17 when I open carry and for conceal appendix carry. I carry the 19 iwb appendix or 5 clock just behind my hip iwb. They’re pretty much the exact same pistol the 17 just has a tad longer barrel and grip. The 17 will however have less recoil and be less snappy than the 19 because of the bigger dimensions. In my humble opinion Sir, you cannot do wrong purchasing either one.
@@senordiabeeto5703 thanks so much! I have big hands and it's for home defense so I think I'll stick with the 17!
@@alexmar8325 sounds like a plan man! Glad I could help. I bought the 19 for my first ever handgun with the purpose of conceal carry. Honestly all stock glocks are pretty much the same except for size 👍🏼
Just filled out paperwork and paid today for g17. How so you like it? Im a springfield xd guy 😂 but love both
Was helping a friend try to get a G43x but they were out of stock so we settled on a gen 3 G17. Not a fan of them personally but it was nice to shoot and I can see why people like it.
BEST VERSION🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glock 17 Gen 3 is about the best 9 mm pistol you could buy out there unless you want to spend a fortune for a European model magazines are like $50 and up and you're crazy most of them are made out of steel the Glock 17 is used by millions of police officers not only in the USA but all over the world it was first developed for the Austrian army now it's on the market for police and civilian use I see most detectives carry it just with an extra magazine you have 34 rounds without extra weight on you I give this video five stars
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇦🇹🇺🇲💯👍
GREAT GUN! I will never be without my loyal companion. Mine is factory stock, just the way I like it. In my humble opinion, if you're getting only 1 gun for all of your protection needs...get this one! This is my only gun and it is never more than arms distance from me and living alone, I sleep good knowing it's close...
Just got mine the other day. First gun as well.
Congrats man! You started a new unbreakable habit. lol.
5:10, put your middle finger on the trigger guard and then try pressing the magazine release button. It's a little trick someone showed me on 92FS and it applies here as well.
Thank you for your video I liked it. I also have a Glock 17 gen 3 and love it.My only criticism is also the mag release like you explained. Greetings from South Africa!
I enjoy hearing when people from other countries have opportunities to obtain firearms. I know it isn’t easy, especially when compared to America, but at least you are exercising your right to do so!
I recommend www.sigsuaers.com/ for your best ammunition 😍💯
Long live Rhodesia
When your holding a Glock 17, you are holding a big part of history. Half of the guns made now took inspiration from Glock in some way
Great video! I just purchased my very first Glock today, it's a Glock 17 gen 3. I can't wait till it arrives!
Same just got the same glock17 gen 3 today
Thanks man! The 17 is a proven handgun that is a great first purchase for anyone!

The hole on the back of the grip is called a lanyard hole.. You tie leather or a thick string through the hole for when you're riding horse back and you wouldn't drop it…. But all around great video👍🏾👍🏾
I really didin't know that?👍🏽
I have this in my cart rn and i keep debating on pressing “checkout” 😂
Dude me too it's what the founding fathers would of wanted you to spend that stimulus on 🤣
Hell yes they would!
@@Fa113n94 omg after you said that i check my bank account and it was there 😱 my finger just inched closer
Palmetto State Armory has them on sale for $599 right now.
@@GunBoxTherapy They’re $499 on grabagun
I daily carry a 17 or my Canik TP9 and totally trust both pistols.
What kind of holster do you use for the Glock 17?
I've got the 19 & 26 gen 3 models.But I also have the 48 which makes the 19 & 26 obsolete as far as using them as carry guns.But i do want a duty sized semi auto for cold weather month carry and I want to stay within the Gen 3 circle.The 17 fits the bill perfectly.
LOL BS the G19 and 26 are NOT Obsolete . if you have to get aftermarket magazines to make a gun have 15''rounds'' then it doesn't make sense .
What a good video. Simply good
My favorite Gen Glock to this day...the rest jumped the shark...
For the last 10 years I rotate only 3 9mm pistols all year long in my self defense system, depending on weather and location: Glock 26 ( on my person especially during the summer and no it's not uncomfortable pussies...shiiet
..my duty carry Berreta M9 in the Corps was uncomfortable), Glock 19 (On My Person or Truck), and The Glock 17 w/ a light (somewhere really nearby my woman and me at night...)...and Glock 17 mags..like... everywhere!...and all of them gen 3's....Why because I got no time in this life for bullshit.
My next pistol 👍I recommend talon grips.
I like the mag release on the gen 3 but I have XXL hands
This is my EDC. I have the extended mag release and slide stop on mine, and upgraded to the gen 5 mags with orange followers.
how is the gen 5 mags an upgrade ? LOL Do TELL...
What holster do you use?
Another great unboxing. I have a question, why does glock make steel lined mags instead of just all metal mags?
I believe that it has something to do with polymer on polymer vs polymer on steel.
Due to the polymer grip used on Glocks, I could see premature wearing on the grip if steel mags were used. And then obviously they started steel lining them to keep the polymer mags from bulging/cracking.

Has anybody noticed that the newest bunch of the Gen 3 has the same engravings like Glock’s from Generation 5, means no stamped engravings, instead standard engravings like on the Glock 17 Gen 5.
Also the coating looks more like a matt nDLC, instead of the TENIFER QPQ, which were used till Gen 4…I like this Gen 3 😊
Gun Box therapy I did comment on this thorough and very nice video previously.I have a question though.Can you maybe make another video where you show the "proofmark" and other engraving on the top of the barrel/chamber.My gen 3 17 was manufactured in Austria,but assembled in Slovakia.It even has the Proofmark of the Lieskovec proofhouse in Slovakia.Would really be interested to see yours! Greetings from South Africa
Hey man, just saw your comment on the newest video. Typically the Gen 3s that come to America are manufactured/assembled in either Austria or America. It really depends on the manufactur date.
I no longer have this firearm though so I won’t be able to check it individually but if I receive another Gen 3 17 I will be sure to check it for you. Sorry I couldn’t be of much help in your particular question.
I just bought the same model just under 5 love it
I got gen 3 instead 4 because felt better in the hands

@no use for a name It jams all the time stove pipes I went with Springfield do you want and also to get cheap
I been thinking about trading out my G 19 for a G 17. But instead i decided to just buy a 17 rnd mag for it lol
Probably the best pistol.... 👍
nah this is the one i’m owning for sure!!! timeless classic !
oh wow, I'm glad I looked up this video. I didn't notice I got a patch tool.
Beautiful gun
That's my gun. I love it. And I only own handguns. 3 of them. One is this one.
Just picked this same one up yesterday
I love it... finger grooves and all
The hole is for a plug that has a lanyard loop attached to it.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Proud owner of the Glock 17 Gen 3 made in the U.S. of A.
Huh??? It’s made in Australia 🇦🇺 not US u must have a Glock 71 😂
Good luck bro
Your follower from Lebanon
Thanks man!
First time owner here. Just picked up mines as well. Was disappointed because I thought it was a Gen 5 when I ordered it but apparently only Law enforcement can buy the Gen 5 here in California. And my magazine only fits 10 rounds.Smh. Can’t wait to take it to the range. Great video
Yeah unfortunately you guys can only buy Gen 3s. That whole roster thing sucks man along with the magazine ban.
@@GunBoxTherapy Ban on standard capacity magazine which they try to gaslight and call it high capacity mags. LMAO. I'm trying to move to NV for this reason.
The gen 3 is the best generation glock.
They don't sell them here in Panama they bring the gen 3 19 but not the 17 all they sell is gen 5 which are exellent but if you want an old full of nostalgia you have to special order it and be patient really patient
Had one a week now...love it.
Great review, excellent quality!
Thanks Austin! Hope you’ll keep up with the new series I’m doing on Fridays and subscribe to the channel.
@@GunBoxTherapy What is the point of resetting the trigger like you did in the video? I am playing around with mine currently, and just reset my trigger. But what is the significance of doing so? Thanks!

Hello great video! Would you recommend this for a beginner? Also can you change the mag release to be left handed?
I would recommend the 17 or the 19 as a beginner gun as they are both good size frames. A lot of people gravitate towards the smaller guns thinking they are tiny and don’t recoil much or just because they are small they must be easier to handle, both are untrue if you did not know.
Starting with a larger gun will allow you to get use to using that cartridge, if you’d like 9mm, and you will have less felt recoil in turn better accuracy.
I don’t believe the Gen 3 mag release can be swapped.
@@jamesaustin1864 Thanks mang! MUCH appreciated!
@@2Shine55 I wouldn’t trust that link. Most likely a scam. This account posts this link and the same automated phrases under multiple comment sections. Definitely a bot.
This is one of the best beginner pistols.
I just got one yesterday!! I wonder if a glock 17 slide will fit for it as well???
Very well done sir..
I like that kind of pistols
I took off the slide and can’t get it back on for some reason. When I slide it back on it doesn’t cock back all the way it gets stuck. Anyone have any idea why??
I want this for my birthday!
Good Work !
Keep It Up
Thanks brother!
I forgot to mention that I bought this pistol in 2017.😁
You should do an unboxing of the Springfield XDM Elite 3.8, and 4.5 models! Great guns
I believe I’ve done an XDM of some sort but I can’t remember. If not, I’ll see what I can do.

Idk if its just me but the factory slide release stop and mag release are hard as a mofo to operate. At least for me, maybe my hand geometry or the fact the the gun is brand new everything seems so stiff and hard to press or manipulate
I thought the same thing
Could be the fact that these were made for police an came out in 1998 you'll get used to it though I had the same feeling but now it's more easier
特别喜欢Glock手枪，尤其是Glock17、Glock17gen3、Glock17gen4，但不喜欢Glock17gen5。
I have the CO2 version and it looks super realistic 😂
and which one is that
@@narcokidyadigg it’s the umarex Glock 17 Gen 3
Gen 3 no removable back straps or mag release reversals
That’s one loooonnnggggg gun lol 😆.. pretty cool though. Thanks for another unboxing
Lol google the longest glock barrel I believe it’s the 43 that’ll trip u out😂
Nice gun bro
space in back of mag is for lucky bullet
Awsome video. Thanks you.
I got one made in China. Flock 18 . So far only 10 jams in 100 rounds.
I'm confused between Glock 17 gen3 vs Beretta APX full size🤔
Glock 17 all the way.
I just got mines and it shoots amazing but I would like it to be auto no cap
I’m getting a Glock 19 this weekend
This is my next pistol buy
i got g19 gen 3 at primary arms for 499 but they like to sell out quick so i had to snag it.
One day I will get one
good video

I got one from fleet farm and they gave me a .40 cal mag for a 9mm. Is this for a reason or did they screw me?
Sounds like a toy dart gun when loading the suction cup dart into it!!!!!!!!

Im 18 right now should I get a Glock 17 or 19, I want something I can keep at home for protection then in 3 years when I turn 21 I want to open carry it, what do y’all recommend before I make my purchase on either the 17 or 19
I’d say if the intention in 3 years is to conceal carry, the 19 is the way to go. The 17 is “carryable” but I would only attempt it as an outside the waistband carry gun with a jacket on top. So winter carry only.
You are definitely on the right track and 3 years is PLENTY of time to get some trigger time behind your Glock. My personal minimum round count before a trust a carry gun is 1,000 rounds with very limited malfunctions. Malfunctions that can be cleared with just my two hands. Some people will say no cleaning/oiling during that time period but honestly I make it a habit to check my carry gun for function every other day if not every day.
So make certain you use these next 3 years wisely with training under an instructor, self training, dry fire training and just really get to know that gun inside and out.
@@GunBoxTherapy thanks for the recommendations👍🏽, as well as the tips
Can you tell me the price

Damn you were bruh. I just bought my 17 gen 3 last week here in Tx for $530. Came with 2 17 round mags. You still bought a great gun though💪🏾
They wont jam with a 33 round mag?
umm NO . if its says Glock on the bottom of the 33rd magazine its Good To Go .
