Design and Controls

The Glock G17 Gen 5 uses Gen 5 internals and Glock’s Safe Action system to provide a consistent trigger interface and layered passive safeties favored by duty and defensive shooters. Precision slide serrations give secure purchase for rapid manipulations while the enlarged reversible magazine catch and textured grip surfaces speed reloads under stress. The steel slide and polymer frame balance durability and weight savings for long service life.

Barrel, Accuracy, and Suppressor Compatibility

The 4.49 inch Zaffiri Precision ported barrel is the distinct highlight: ports reduce muzzle rise, enabling quicker follow-up shots and helping maintain sight picture during rapid strings. Combined with Glock Marksman-style accuracy, the result is repeatable point of impact from a factory-ready package. Suppressor-height sights and an optic-capable slide footprint make this pistol compatible with taller optics and suppressors right out of the box.

Why 9mm Luger?

9mm Luger remains the standard for duty and defense due to its balance of capacity, manageable recoil, and wide ammunition availability. In a full-size platform like the G17 Gen 5, 17+1 capacity provides sustained firepower without sacrificing controllability—especially with the ported barrel mitigating climb.

Ergonomics and Use Cases

Interchangeable backstraps and ambidextrous-friendly controls let shooters tailor the fit to a wide range of hand sizes. The Flat Dark Earth finish offers corrosion resistance and low-visibility utility for field work or range use. At a price of $948.99, this package—complete with three 17-round magazines—presents a ready-to-shoot option for service, competition, and defensive carry. View product details and pricing
