Product Overview
The Glock 17 Gen5 9mm pistol represents the latest evolution in the world’s most renowned duty handgun platform. Designed for the serious user, this semi-automatic pistol is engineered for reliability, durability, and precision. The Glock 17 Gen5 is the go-to choice for law enforcement officers, military personnel, security professionals, and responsible citizens seeking a proven defensive firearm. Its primary uses include duty carry, home defense, competitive shooting, and intensive training. With a 4.49-inch barrel and an overall length of 7.32 inches, it maintains the ideal balance of sight radius and holsterability. The iconic polymer frame, weighing in at just 22.04 ounces unloaded, ensures all-day carry comfort without sacrificing the robust feel essential for control.
Key Features
- Gen5 Enhanced Frame: The redesigned frame omits finger grooves for a more universal and customizable grip. It includes multiple interchangeable backstraps to tailor the grip circumference to the shooter’s hand.
- Flared Magazine Well & Front Frame Cutout: These design elements facilitate faster, more positive magazine insertion during reloads, a critical factor under stress or in competitive settings.
- Fully Ambidextrous Controls: Features a reversible magazine catch and an ambidextrous slide stop lever, making the Gen5 equally operable for both left- and right-handed shooters.
- Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB): The upgraded barrel features enhanced polygonal rifling and an improved crown for increased accuracy and consistent precision shot after shot.
- nDLC Finish: The slide and barrel feature a durable, corrosion-resistant nDLC finish that is harder and more wear-resistant than previous generations, ensuring longevity even under harsh conditions.
- Standard 17-Round Capacity: Offers a substantial ammunition reserve in a compact package, utilizing the proven reliability of Glock’s factory magazines.
Performance & Applications
Built to the same rigorous standards that have made Glock the benchmark for reliability, the Gen5 excels in demanding environments. Its consistent trigger pull, low bore axis, and ergonomic grip angle contribute to controllable recoil and rapid follow-up shots. The matte finish on both slide and frame reduces glare and aids in concealed carry by minimizing visual signatures.
For duty and home defense, the pistol’s legendary out-of-the-box reliability and simple operation are paramount. The 9mm chambering offers an effective balance of stopping power, capacity, and manageable recoil. The robust polymer frame and Tenifer-treated steel components resist corrosion from sweat and environmental exposure.
In action shooting sports like USPSA or IDPA, the Glock 17 Gen5’s features directly translate to competitive advantages. The flared mag-well speeds stage reloads, the crisp GMB barrel enhances accuracy on distant plates, and the adaptable grip ensures a secure, repeatable hold during dynamic movement.
