I actually ended up ordering the Gen 5 from Battlehawk Armory instead at $349 which comes with three mags instead of one. They're the early model without front serrations on the slide, but I'm in it for the trigger upgrade over the Gen 4's. With tax and shipping it was still under 4 beans.

In my usual, let's modify things to make them better mode, I bought a CZ Custom trigger pack for my Scorpion. They suggest it be installed by a gunsmith but I'm an engineer so pressed onwards. Everything went fine until I was doing function checks and couldn't get the safety to operate. After taking it apart/putting back together about 20 times, the following day I started looking at it forensically and determined the new trigger was blocked the safety rod from moving. A little judicious filing with some jeweler's files and voila! Seemed odd to me there was that much variation in parts that they didn't just slide into place.

How do you like it? I always keep contemplating the Timney drop in trigger pack for mine, but have a hard time getting past the cost for a fun gun.

I haven't shot it yet with the new trigger, my local indoor range was robbed about five days ago (morons stole a car and drove it through the front window. Made off with 13 long guns and 55 handguns). Just dry-firing it feels a lot better, shorter pull with less effort. If you think the Timney is expensive don't look at the CZ Custom one! I did come across another option which is just replacing the springs to lessen the pull. You'll still have the same length of travel though.

Picked up the LE trade-in G17 Gen 5 on Friday and was pleasantly surprised. Case was included, as well as all the backstraps/pins. All three mags were OEM Glock mags, sights were Trijicon night sights with the high vis orange/tritium combo front, and it came installed with a KAGWERKS extended slide release. Guts were immaculate, slide had one small scuff mark near the muzzle that's through the finish, and a few small "burnished" areas that didn't wear through, but is otherwise in fantastic shape. While heavy, I was surprised at the Gen 5 trigger which I had heard was an improvement, but it definitely has a more distinct wall/break compared to the earlier generations.

I've plopped a TLR-1 HL on the rail, and it will likely become the new bedside pistol once I have a few hundred rounds through it with no malfunctions.
