As one of the most trusted handguns in the shooting world, the Glock 17 evolved through several versions and came to the newest 5th generation in 2017. The Glock 17 Gen 5 is the youngest offering from the Austrian renowned manufacturer that combines significant changes and improvements compared to earlier generations. While the Glock 17 Gen 5 looks largely the same, you will find the finger grooves are gone from the grip, but it still allows using the different back straps for better customizing. The muzzle of the new Glock 17 variation is beveled down, whereas the rifling and the crown of the barrel were slightly modified, resulting in flatter shooting and quicker follow-up shots. The trigger internals has been adjusted over time for a smoother experience, making the trigger easier to pull. This Gen5 G17 features the redesigned magwell which is expanded to make reloads faster and easier.
