Glock G17 Fixed Sights 9mm GEN 5

Description

Introducing the GLOCK 17 Gen5 and GLOCK 19 Gen5 pistols. GLOCK Gen5 pistols are the latest example of GLOCK’s constant pursuit of perfection. Gen5 pistols feature over 20 design modifications from their Gen4 predecessors, including the GLOCK Marksman Barrel, a new nDLC finish, ambidextrous slide stop levers, a grip with no finger grooves, and a flared mag-well. These changes deliver improved accuracy, durability, performance, control, and flexibility whether you are on the range or in a situation where fractions of a second matter. Complete with 3 magazines.  This is a RESTRICTED firearm requiring an RPAL to purchase.

Glock Perfection.  It is a full-size, 9mm, polymer frame handgun that uses a locked breach system referred to as “Safe Action“. This is the combination of a trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety that render the loaded pistol incapable of firing, even when banged or bumped, unless someone actually squeezes the trigger.

Because it does not have a hammer, the spring loaded striker (firing pin) is technically blocked off, partially retracted and not in geometric alignment with a chambered cartridge. It is only by squeezing the trigger, which fully retracts and then releases the striker, that makes the pistol then capable of firing. The absence of a hammer also provides a sleeker profile that reduces both size and weight, while optimizing a smoother draw from concealment.

The Glock 17 has the advantage of not having a manual safety, thus eliminating the need to consciously think about deactivating such a device. This is the ultimate point and shoot pistol. With 50% fewer components than conventional handguns of the same caliber, it means there are fewer parts to break, and you can literally disassemble and then reassemble the gun within seconds. 

The frame is made out of a synthetic polymer that is actually stronger than steel, yet 86% lighter and virtually indestructible. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 F to +158 F and still continue firing. An integral accessory rail provides the added benefit of quickly attaching lasers and / or lights for low visibility applications. The ergonomic grip angle is designed to allow the shooter to rapidly deploy the pistol under stress fire conditions.

This series is referred to as “Gen5″ and has several noticeable upgrades over its Gen4 predecessors. Most notable are the lack of finger groove and the addition of an ambidextrous slide stop. The gun also wears the new nDLC finish which is both highly wear and corrosion resistant.

The textured grip allows for a more aggressive hold on the gun, especially in situations where maximum traction and weapons retention are required. An enlarged reversible magazine release makes it easier to perform reloads. A heavy duty recoil spring slightly reduces kick and also extends pistol life. Glock supplies a third magazine with Gen4 pistols that offers added firepower.

The Glock 17 Gen5 features an outstanding ergonomic design, where a highly efficient bore axis-to-weight distribution ratio ensures controlled shots, even under rapid fire conditions. In addition, the polymer frame also provides much softer felt recoil than most conventional metal frame handguns. The pistol weighs in at a little over 21- ounces and has a DAO trigger pull of roughly 5.5 pounds.

Three full capacity 10- round magazines are provided with Glock 19 Gen5 pistols. The factory mounted white over white sights make it fast to acquire a target. The 4.49” Glock Marksman Barrel of the Glock 17 Gen5 provides greater accuracy than previous barrels.

Modular Back Strap System

The smallest back strap is integrated in the GLOCK MBS frame reducing the trigger distance of the standard size frame by approximately .08 in. The medium back strap adds approximately .08 in. – equaling the size of a standard frame – and the large back strap increases trigger distance by a total of approximately .16 in.

Enlarged Reversible Magazine Catch

The magazine release catch of the Gen5 is reversible and enlarged. The reversible magazine catch allows users to switch the catch to the left or right side of the pistol with no additional parts.

Dual Recoil Spring Assembly

Internally, the original recoil spring has been replaced with a dual recoil spring assembly. The dual recoil spring assembly noticeably reduces the felt recoil while simultaneously increasing the life span of the assembly.

Rough Textured Frame

Additionally, the Gen5 has a new Rough Textured Frame (RTF) surface designed to enhance grip traction and is present on the frame as well as the interchangeable back straps.
