Description

Product Overview

The Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS 9mm is the latest evolution of the iconic full-size service pistol that defined modern polymer-frame handguns. Engineered for the serious user who demands proven reliability and forward-thinking adaptability, this model integrates the Modular Optic System (MOS) directly from the factory. With its 4.49-inch barrel and a 10-round magazine configuration, it is an ideal choice for duty use, home defense, competitive shooting, and qualified civilian carry. The Gen 6 represents a refinement of the platform, incorporating subtle ergonomic and functional enhancements based on decades of end-user feedback and technological advancement. It is a tool designed for those who prioritize a seamless blend of durability, accuracy, and modularity in a defensive firearm.

Key Features

• Glock Modular Optic System (MOS): This frame is precision-milled from the factory to accept a wide array of popular micro red dot sights without the need for aftermarket slide machining. It includes multiple adapter plates for a secure, direct-mount fit, allowing you to customize your sighting system for faster target acquisition.
• Gen 6 Enhanced Frame: Features the latest refinements including a flared magazine well for smoother reloads under stress, an ambidextrous slide stop lever, and the nDLC finish for superior corrosion and wear resistance on the slide. The grip texture has been meticulously updated for a secure, consistent hold in all conditions.
• 4.49-Inch Cold-Hammer-Forged Barrel: The heart of the pistol’s accuracy, the Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) features enhanced polygonal rifling and an optimized barrel crown for improved precision and consistent shot placement. The 9mm chambering offers an excellent balance of controllability and terminal performance.
• 10-Round Magazine Configuration: Supplied to ensure compliance in regulated jurisdictions, these magazines maintain the full-size grip ergonomics of the Glock 17 platform while adhering to capacity restrictions. They are built with the same robust construction and reliable follower design as standard Glock magazines.
• Safe Action System: The proven three independent automatic safeties (trigger, firing pin, and drop safe) remain internally housed within the fire control group. This system provides a consistent, secure trigger pull from the first round to the last, with no external safety levers to manipulate.
• Front Serrations & Updated Slide Profile: Deep, front slide serrations provide positive traction for press-checks and manipulations. The Gen 6 slide incorporates subtle profile changes for improved holstering and handling, maintaining compatibility with many existing Gen 5 holsters.

Performance & Applications

Duty & Home Defense: The Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS is engineered as a primary defensive tool. Its full-size frame manages recoil effectively, allowing for fast, accurate follow-up shots. The 4.49-inch barrel optimizes bullet velocity for defensive ammunition, while the MOS platform allows for the addition of a weapon-mounted light and a red dot sight—a critical advantage for positive threat identification and engagement in low-light scenarios. The 10-round capacity, while state-compliant, is sufficient for most defensive situations when paired with proficient training and spare magazines.

Competition & Training: In USPSA Carry Optics or similar divisions, this pistol serves as an excellent foundation. The consistent trigger, inherent reliability, and optic-ready design allow shooters to focus on fundamentals and stage execution. The generous sight radius (when using iron sights) and balanced weight distribution make it a forgiving and effective platform for high-volume training, where durability and ease of maintenance are paramount.

Qualified Civilian Carry: For individuals with the proper permitting and training who prefer a full-size handgun for everyday carry, the Gen 6 offers superior shootability. The updated grip texture and ergonomics ensure a solid purchase from concealment, and its slim profile for a double-stack 9mm makes it a viable option for those who can effectively conceal it. Its reputation for going “bang” every time provides ultimate confidence in a carry firearm.
