Many of the holsters that I have for my 23 and 19 have tapered or closed bottoms for retention purposes. Those holsters will not work with the 17.
If they are KYDEX then that is an easy fix. Just trim off or heat up the bottom and re-form the taper. BTW....the taper is not for retention but to help protect the muzzle end of the gun. The only way it helps with retention is if the muzzle sticks out it can get bumped and dislodge the gun n the holster. Not a huge problem but can happen if you are not careful
