    G17. Can be used for EDC with your frame size, can be used for sport (IPSC stock I think and of course IDPA), plenty of ammo available and cheaper to shoot and reload for, easy enough to carry concealed for EDC, plenty of accessories (eg excellent holsters, mag carriers etc), very good parts availability and backup via Bernhard Agencies, cheaper spares (ie fiddly bits and especially magazines!), very easy to use gun in general, the stock gun is perfectly acceptable, no great need for upgrade parts. Only reason not to get one is if you 'don't like Glocks' (for whatever reasons). My 2c. Sort of like the iPhone of guns. But without Steve Jobs. Also a lot louder than an iPhone. And more fun. Perhaps less socially acceptable. Better conversation piece though. But now I'm getting out of hand.

    Glock 17 gen4 with biggest backstrap. R8000, then geoff holster and mag pouches, two extra mags, earmuffs. Total of R10000 and you good to go for just about any sport. If R10000 just for gun then get the glock 34.

    Enjoy whatever you choose

    +1. G17 will fit your requirements perfectly, plus you can carry it if needs be, without worrying about concealability.

    If sport, then G34 is first prize...if you're capped at R10k all in, then G17 + accessories as mentioned above...personally I'll just work harder until I can afford the G34...but thats just me...I'm weird

    G17 and live with no regrets thereafter-if you plan to shoot in Production division of IPSC bear in mind that the 34 and 35 glock's are not allowed,and will push you up to standard Division.

    Get the GLOCK for the following reasons:
    1:It's cheap
    2:It's super reliable
    3:It's simple
    4:It's pretty
    5:It's a GLOCK

    Correct ... 34 AND 35 are not legal for Production division... indeed, will need to shoot in Standard.

    The 34 makes an awesome IPSC Standard Division Gun if you don't mind shooting Minor PF.
