FIVE DISTINCT FEATURES
More than 20 design changes distinguish the Gen 5 pistols from their Gen 4 predecessors. Among these design changes are five distinct features which deliver an improved overall shooting experience and propel GLOCK into its next generation of pistols. Learn more about these new features below.
 | NDLC FINISHThe GLOCK 17 Gen5 features the proprietary GLOCK nDLC finish. This enhanced finish reduces corrosion and scratching and improves performance in adverse conditions. |
GLOCK MARKSMAN BARREL (GMB)The GLOCK 17 Gen5 features the GLOCK Marksman Barrel. The barrel’s new rifling and crown deliver improved accuracy for both the beginner and the seasoned gun owner. | |
 | NO FINGER GROOVESThe GLOCK 17 Gen5 has no finger grooves on the grip. Removing the finger grooves improves the ergonomics of the grip, delivering consistent comfort and improved control to a wider range of consumers, regardless of hand size. |
 | FLARED MAGAZINE WELLThe GLOCK 17 Gen5 features a flared mag-well. The larger opening found in the mag-well of GLOCK Gen5 pistols makes quicker and easier magazine changes possible, particularly in high-stress situations where fractions of a second matter. |
 | AMBIDEXTROUS SLIDE STOPThe GLOCK 17 Gen5 features ambidextrous slide stop levers. Now it is easier than ever for both left-handed and right-handed gun owners to quickly, comfortably, and safely manipulate the slide. |
