Detailed Review
The Glock 17 Gen 5 is the latest iteration of the popular Glock 17 line of semi-automatic pistols. First introduced in 1982, the Glock 17 has become a favorite among law enforcement and military personnel, as well as civilian gun owners. With each new generation, the Glock 17 has undergone numerous improvements to its design and performance, and the Gen 5 is no exception.
One of the most notable changes in the Glock 17 Gen 5 is the absence of finger grooves on the grip. This allows for a more comfortable grip for shooters of all hand sizes, and it also makes it easier to customize the grip with aftermarket accessories. The Gen 5 also features an improved trigger that boasts a crisper, cleaner break with a reduced pull weight. The ambidextrous slide stop lever has been enlarged for easier access, and the magazine release button can be switched to the opposite side for left-handed shooters.
The Glock 17 Gen 5 also features an improved barrel and slide design, which enhances accuracy and reliability. The barrel has been given a new polygonal rifling pattern, and the slide has been made lighter with a new nPVD finish that improves durability and corrosion resistance. The Gen 5 also comes with front slide serrations, which make it easier to manipulate the slide for loading and clearing malfunctions.
In addition to these improvements, the Glock 17 Gen 5 also comes with the innovative Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB). This barrel has been designed to improve accuracy by utilizing a new barrel crown and tighter tolerances. The GMB also features a new target-style chamber that provides better support for the case, resulting in improved accuracy and reliability.
The Glock 17 Gen 5 also retains many of the features that have made the Glock 17 a popular choice for shooters around the world. It has a large magazine capacity of 17 rounds, and it is compatible with a wide range of Glock magazines. The Gen 5 also features a modular backstrap system that allows the shooter to adjust the grip to their preference, and it has a low bore axis that reduces muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
Overall, the Glock 17 Gen 5 is a well-designed and reliable firearm that offers numerous improvements over previous generations. Its improved trigger, barrel, and slide design make it a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality pistol that can be used for self-defense, competition shooting, or recreational shooting.
