Glock 17 Gen5

The Glock 17 is the pistol that started the polymer revolution. When it was introduced in 1982, traditionalists scoffed at a "plastic gun." Decades later, the Glock design has proven itself as perhaps the most reliable handgun ever made, serving military and police forces worldwide. The Gen5 represents decades of refinement while maintaining the core features that made Glock legendary.

Gen5 improvements include the Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) with improved polygonal rifling for better accuracy, a flared magazine well for faster reloads, removal of finger grooves for universal grip fit, the nDLC finish for improved corrosion resistance, and ambidextrous slide stop levers. The trigger has been refined with a smoother pull and more positive reset.

The G17's reliability is legendary - these pistols regularly run 100,000+ rounds with minimal maintenance. The largest aftermarket in the handgun industry means every conceivable upgrade is available, from triggers to slides to complete frame replacements. For duty use, competition, or home defense, the Glock 17 Gen5 remains the standard by which all other polymer pistols are measured.
