  • NEW GLOCK DAY! In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves meets with the gang at Lipsey's to talk about their exclusive, retro, throwback Gen 1 Glock 17, the Glock 17 P80. The P80 is a faithful replication of the original Gen 1 Glock 17 (known as the Pistole 80) that has been thoughtfully planned out, down to a resurrection of the "tupperware" box these guns used to come in. Check today's video for the lowdown on all the details including pricing and availability.

I can’t describe the rush of memories when I picked up a Gen 1 again a couple yrs ago - that grip, the trigger. I swear I became a ten year old again for a moment!

Barely has a thousand rounds through it, and has been in hibernation in my safe since my retirement from service over 21 years ago.

People have been complaining about the sights and triggers on their guns forever, and in five generations of guns, they have never addressed those issues.

      Old comment I know. But Glock had gotten rid of their p80 GEN1 molds. These things literally had to be recreated before they could be made. if you ever worked in tooling and manufacturing, especially in a company that does volume like Glock, you'd get that you'd have to divert some of your funds, while still being a top seller, to recreate this retro project. It's not like they took a gen 3 and ground it down to a gen 1. They had to rebuild all this tooling to make this happen.

    It's crazy bc when I bought my first G17 Gen3 back in 2004 at 18 I remember you could buy all kinds of used Gen1 and Gen2's... Most of them being old police trade in's but if I remember correctly they were still about as much as a new Gen3... Thanks for this blast from the past!!! #StaySafe & #StayBlessed 😎👍

    I have to have one of these. I’m not a “Glock Guy” per se but I have a few, but I absolutely love retro guns. Shooting original pieces of history is incredible but I always feel so limited because I don’t want to put so much wear on them. It’s great when companies do throwbacks with a few modern updates (generally not a fan when aesthetics change, but minor internal changes are fine) I no longer have to feel guilty about shooting and enjoying some retro goodness.

    Oh Wow!! The Gen 1 series! I know some guys that had the OD Green ones. I would like to get the OD series if Glock makes this back in the retro. Originally I hated Glocks because it was plastic. I was primarily a 1911 guy and secondary SIG fan guy. As time went by started to appreciate the system on the simplicity part. 1911s and SIGS are for shooters who have finesse of loving fine triggers and complicated systems. Glock is "Cookie Cutter", "Plastic Fantastic". It made sense to me later when I trained regular folks and future police officers on how much I cut down on training except for the horrible triggers. I taught myself to overcome the trigger and shoot it proficiently. Otherwise it is a fantastically thought out combat handgun.
