Why the Glock 17 Gen5 Wins
Having put thousands of rounds through various 9mm platforms, the Glock 17 Gen5 stands out for its perfect balance of reliability and shootability. The Gen5 improvements – like the flared magwell and ambidextrous slide stop – make this the most user-friendly Glock yet. At our Spring TX range, I consistently see these outlast competitors in dust and rain tests.
