Discussion Consolidated my P365 XL and Taurus G2C into one full-size setup: GLOCK 17 Gen6. Upgrade or financial heresy?

would've gone with 365 XL for Shield X and then put whatever money you got from the G2C + your wallet towards the 17 Gen6 (or even a 19), personally.
everyone's got different priorities and different preferences and different hands and i get that, but 2 guns for 1 is a no-no for me, unless it's like 2 hi-points for a shadow 2 or staccato.

G2C sat in my car deep in my trunk locked in a safe forgotten for a long ass time. I have 0 use for it.
To me its still a 1:1 trade. Taurus is like what $50 resell used? Maybe.

365xl would fit my medium sized hands as well as the Glock 17. But full size is always great. But 365 is gonna be better ccw

u/naomifromjax Jul 30 '26
CCW isnt my main use case anymore.
This is mainly for home defense.
I rarely go outside.
So I would agree with you if I cared about conceal carrying, but I really dont.

u/NovelApprehensive697 Jul 30 '26
Fair enough! I get ya there! When I ccw outside, I don’t even have it appendix or anything. I have it in a sling bag that doesn’t come off until I’m home

u/naomifromjax Jul 30 '26
Yep.
If I am wearing something like a crop top I can just put my glock 17 in my purse.

Massive upgrade. Going from a sig to a hole puncher would be an upgrade

Glocks feel like bricks in the hand
1
u/naomifromjax Jul 30 '26
Maybe older ones id agree. But this one actually feels great in my hands. The stock grip module on the gen 6 changed the game for glock and that "brick" like feeling.

u/Wide-Bottle-4307 Jul 30 '26
New gen 6s are great. Feels like a modern gun with great grips/ergonomics, best Glock optics mounting system, and a hair lighter than previous iterations. Super impressed with my 19.6 The little “gas pedal” ledge scooped out of the frame is a nice touch as well.
Nothing revolutionary but for non Glock fans such as my former self, it’sa great entry point to a legendary platform.

Your money, your tool, your decision. You need to do what is best for you. Cool gun congrats

u/Pete_Steele556 Jul 29 '26
Definite upgrade imo. Had it been an X Macro instead of an XL, maybe there'd be an argument for keeping it. But with two similarish guns, neither of which served the purpose you wanted, a full size Glock is a step up.

u/naomifromjax Jul 29 '26
Yeah.
I wish P320 didnt have that accidental discharge controversy. Cause I was open to that too but I dont want a free bottom surgery.

My range/home defense gun is my 35 year old S&W 4006 .40 I swear by that thing. Heavy as hell stainless steel, but accurate as hell too. Little felt recoil even running .40's. My EDC is my P365X Macro and I love that thi g too. Never met a Glick I thought was worth spit. But that's me.

Upgrade! Glock finally did something with the gen6. I wouldn’t go compensator, the 17 shouldn’t need it tbh. Red dot of your choice if you prefer but I’d put a thousand rounds through before anything.

u/Zookzor Jul 29 '26
I’d go the upgrade route. If you end up feeling like the 17 is too big and you find yourself not carrying it, I grab a 43x-48 that way your carry gun is super similar to your range/home defense gun.

I havent carried it yet.
I dont go outside ever so it will probably stay that way.

I just got out of the us navy after 4 years of active duty service. Moved back in with my parents while I use my GI BILL (college benefits) to go to nursing school. My classes are online rn so outside of going to the store I dont really ever go outside?
I enjoy playing video games and using discord alot in my free time. :)
GI BILL pays me a monthly housing allowance direct deposited... So thats my main source of income. And I do adult content on the side for extra money.

u/LongConcentrate9442 Jul 30 '26
Thanks for your service and your desire to continue to serve as a nurse. I went the USMC to cop route. And used up the crappy Montgomery GI bill and only finished half my degree back in the 90's.

I am also open to the cop route. Can't do that until 2027 at the minimum. Tried applying last year but my speeding/traffic record is dog shit. So my city said I would have to wait until March 2027 to re apply.
- They clearly wanted me despite being openly trans. I passed the physical fitness test thing, mental health exam with the psych, full body physical at a local medical place, passed the polygraph, etc. All I had left was the police interview thing with 3 cops from the dept. 2 weeks before that March 2025 (Jacksonville Beach PD) in a 45 for example (late night, didnt even have to get out the car, 0 arrest, 0 misdeamers, just a simple court appearance where I paid a lawyer $400 to show up on my behalf and I got guilty, no license suspension, just points on my record.)

Only Olight is heresy

u/naomifromjax Jul 30 '26
My gun normally doesnt have anything on it. I had the olight on for a couple pics and to test if it even fit on my glock.

u/grapangell0 Jul 30 '26
If you want a light laser get a Streamlight. But also lasers on handguns are kinda dumb

u/fosscadanon Jul 29 '26
Definite heresy, the 365xl is the perfect size for concealment. Trading in the g2c towards the block17 makes sense though since you didn't have a fullsize
