Question Should I get a 17.5 or 17.6?
So, I live in Washingron state and I want to get a 17 before the new stupid permit to purchase law starts in 2027.
I've been searching for a 17.5 or even a 47 but I can't find any stores that will ship to Washington because of the 10 round magazine limit.
I was able to find a regular non mos 17.5 at a local store for $650. I know the new 17.6 are going for $620.
I am still hesitant about purchasing the new 17.6 with the mushy trigger and new design. I have had a 20.5 and 19.5 both mos and have had no problems with them.
My question is should I just pay more for the older model and probably even more whenever I get it cut for an optic? I know people are saying the trigger on the 17.6 improves with use. I usually just don't like purchasing any product that is a new model until all the problems are discovered and fixed after the initial run.
Thanks for your help.
