do you think my dryer will be OK?
The dryer will be fine, as will your precious baby. Now to be fair here are some reasons why I prefer the 17 over all the other Glocks:

(the 17 seems to have the fewest kb issues)

Also when firing any Glock I make sure no fingers or the support hand are directly under the magazine, if it lets go as in a kb the mag will be energetically ejected..
