I don’t care about the ambi-slide stop lever. Other shooters noticed the same thing and were impressed. Instead of a shotgun blast pattern, a large, ragged hole began to form. Even running the gun hard, I was able to dump rounds downrange without the typical spread I would expect in my shot group. Follow-up shots were quick and authoritative. This Gen5 G17 shoots flatter than any production pistol I have ever shot before. It tends to throw your sights off and you have to spend time establishing sight alignment and sight picture again. After you pull the trigger, you have to contend with recoil.
Muzzle flip is the enemy of anyone who vies for accuracy from multiple rounds. I could not believe how flat the G17 shot even compared to the Gen4 I carry on duty. With practice, this levelled out for me and I was able to not only get used to it, but take advantage of it. The transition from trigger reset to follow-up shot is a little quicker. The internals have been changed here and there, but the serviceable portion of that knowledge is the trigger is smoother.
This is no surprise for those familiar with Glocks however, running various types of ammunition from different shooters through different drills, I began to notice some trends: I stressed this gun, enlisting the help of several of my fellow firearms instructors and students to help me in this endeavor. It’s similar to working with a new partner – you don’t know if you’re going to like them until you see them perform under stress. I’ve learned that Glocks need a break-in period of several hundred rounds before you make any judgements. The accessory rail, sights and backstrap system all hail from previous generations. Gone is the nitride finish of old in exchange for a new coating called nDLC, which is supposed to be even tougher than the previous iteration. This does not automatically make the Glock fully ambidextrous, but by switching the mag release over to the right side, which is a carryover feature from Gen4, it can be.įinally, the new Glock is über black. In addition, there is a new slide stop on the right side of the weapon. The finger grooves are gone from the grip and the muzzle is beveled down. Includes 3 magazines.5 of the best concealment holsters for your Glock In front of the trigger guard you'll also receive an integral accessory rail for a wide variety of light and laser accessories. GLOCK's MBS (Modular Backstrap System) allows you the ability to add or remove additional backstop pieces, including a beaver tail for those with larger hands. A long-requested feature, the front strap no longer has finger grooves, allowing any finger size to fit comfortably around the grip. The slide and barrel feature GLOCK's latest ion-bonded nDLC coating, which is a truer black to previous generations with improved ability to function in dry conditions. Plus, the front of the firearm is now beveled for easier reholstering. The slide has factory serrations on the front and back. The slide release is ambidextrous and the magazine catch is reversible. The G17 comes with the same popular upgrades of all Generation 5 GLOCK pistols like the Glock Marksman Barrel and overall elimination of leaf springs, which have since been replaced by new coil spring designs for increased longevity and reliability. It's the choice firearm of many law enforcement agencies worldwide. This is the 5th generation of the legendary polymer pistol. The GLOCK® 17 Gen5 9mm Semi-Auto Pistol is the size and caliber that started it all for GLOCK.
