The brand new Glock 17 Gen5 pistol was inspired by the GLOCK 17M pistol used by the FBI and includes many features the GLOCK community has been asking for. There are over 20 design changes which differentiate the G17 Gen5 pistol from the Gen4 predecessor, including a flared mag-well, a new nDLC finish, the GLOCK Marksman Barrel, ambidextrous slide stop levers, and a grip which has no finger grooves.

Firearm Features

• Glock Gen5 Magazine
  The new GLOCK Gen5 magazine comes with an orange follower and a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change.
• Modular Backstrap
  Every GLOCK Gen4 and Gen5 model comes with backstraps in two sizes each one with or without beaver tail. The multiple backstrap frame allows the users to change the circumference of the grip to fit their individual hand size.
• Enlarged Reversible Mag Catch
  The magazine catch of the Gen4 and Gen5 frames is reversible and enlarged towards the rear of the pistol. The reversible magazine catch is more user friendly to the shooter’s reach and allows them to switch the catch to the left or right side of the pistol.
• RTF (Rough Textured Frame)
  The Gen4 and Gen5 have a rough frame (Gen4 RTF) surface designed to enhance grip traction, without being too aggressive. It is present on the frame as well as on the interchangeable backstraps.
• nDLC Coating
  GLOCK’s nDLC provides tougher, more durable protection than previously used finish.
• Ambidextrous Slide Stop Lever
  The ambidextrous slide stop lever makes it easier for gun owners to quickly, safely and comfortably manipulate the slide whether they are left-handed or right-handed.
• Glock Marksman Barrel
  The GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) features new barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy.
