Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS 9mm 4.49″ Barrel 17-Rounds – 9mm

Description

Product Overview

The Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS 9mm represents the latest evolution of the pistol that redefined modern handgun reliability. As the newest generation of the iconic full-size service pistol, it integrates decades of end-user feedback with forward-thinking engineering. This model is built for the serious shooter who demands a proven platform ready for immediate duty, competition, or defensive use. The inclusion of the Modular Optic System (MOS) from the factory makes it a particularly compelling choice for those moving to red-dot sight technology without the need for aftermarket slide machining. With its 4.49-inch barrel and 17-round standard capacity, it maintains the balanced handling and shootability that made the original Glock 17 a global standard for military, law enforcement, and civilian users.

Key Features

• Gen 6 Enhancements: Building on the Gen 5 framework, the Gen 6 incorporates refined ergonomics and surface treatments for improved handling in all conditions. Expect subtle but meaningful updates to the finish and grip texture based on professional field input.
• Factory MOS (Modular Optic System): The slide is precision-milled from the factory to accept a wide array of popular micro red dot sights using included adapter plates. This allows for a secure, direct-mount optic solution without compromising the pistol’s structural integrity.
• 4.49″ Barrel with Enhanced Rifling: The cold-hammer-forged barrel provides exceptional accuracy and longevity. The Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) features improved polygonal rifling designed for increased precision across various ammunition types.
• Updated Magazine & Capacity: Ships with the latest iteration of Glock’s rugged polymer magazine, offering a 17+1 round capacity in 9mm. The magazines feature an orange follower for easy visual inspection and an enhanced floorplate design.
• Ambidextrous Controls: Designed for universal operation, the slide-stop lever is ambidextrous, catering to both right and left-handed shooters for enhanced manipulation and versatility.
• Robust Accessory Rail: The standardized Picatinny-style rail (Glock Accessory Rail) integrated into the frame allows for the secure mounting of tactical lights, lasers, or other mission-specific tools.

Performance & Applications

This pistol’s design caters to several defined roles. Its primary application remains as a duty and home defense firearm. The full-size frame mitigates recoil, allowing for faster, more accurate follow-up shots, while the high-capacity magazine and legendary reliability provide confidence in critical situations. The Gen 6 is not merely a defensive tool, however. The MOS system and refined trigger make it an excellent platform for practical competition use in divisions like USPSA Carry Optics. The ability to mount a red dot sight directly transforms sight acquisition speed and precision on target. Finally, for the dedicated firearms enthusiast or instructor, the Glock 17 Gen 6 serves as an ideal training pistol. Its consistent operation and common manual of arms with other Glock models make it perfect for developing fundamental skills that translate across an entire platform.

About Glock

Glock Ges.m.b.H. is not merely a firearm manufacturer; it is the originator of a paradigm shift in handgun technology. Introduced in the 1980s, Glock’s “Safe Action” system challenged conventional wisdom with its polymer frame, striker-fired mechanism, and simplified design featuring far fewer parts than traditional metal-framed pistols. The result was a weapon renowned for its exceptional reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance. This reputation wasn’t built through marketing, but through decades of relentless testing and adoption by thousands of military, law enforcement, and government agencies worldwide. This institutional trust is a testament to the brand’s engineering-first philosophy. When you choose a Glock, you are selecting a tool with a proven, documented history of performance under the most demanding conditions imaginable.
