Glock has introduced last week the G17L Gen5 MOS. This high-performance firearm is specifically designed for competition shooting, offering a long barrel, well-balanced slide, and a long sight radius for improved accuracy.
The G17L Gen5 MOS incorporates several features that enhance its precision. The extended barrel and slide contribute to a longer sight radius, allowing shooters to more easily acquire their targets. Additionally, the pistol boasts Glock's Marksman Barrel (GMB) with improved rifling for tighter shot groupings.

Shooters can further customize the G17L Gen5 MOS for optimal handling. The modular beavertail backstrap system allows for quick grip adjustments to fit any hand size. The ambidextrous slide stop lever and reversible magazine catch ensure comfortable use for both right-handed and left-handed shooters.


Durability is another hallmark of the G17L Gen5 MOS. The pistol features a lightweight yet strong polymer frame, while the slide is crafted from steel with a nitride finish for superior resistance to corrosion and wear.
The G17L Gen5 MOS is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, a popular caliber known for its balance of power and manageable recoil. This makes the pistol suitable for a variety of applications, including target practice, competition shooting, and even self-defense.

A key feature of the G17L Gen5 MOS is its incorporation of Glock's Modular Optic System (MOS). This innovative system allows for the easy mounting of red dot sights and other optical sights, promoting faster target acquisition and improved accuracy.
As Perfection Continues at GLOCK, we are continually in development of new technologies and expanding our product offering. We are excited to bring you these two new additions to the Gen5 line of pistols“ said Josh Dorsey, VP at GLOCK, Inc.
The G17L Gen5 MOS incorporates all the safety features found in other Glock pistols. The Safe Action System includes three independent safeties that automatically engage to prevent accidental discharges.

The standard magazine for the G17L Gen5 MOS holds 17 rounds of ammunition, but the pistol can also accept higher capacity magazines. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for various shooting disciplines.
The Glock G17L Gen5 MOS combines accuracy, reliability, and user-customizable ergonomics into a single package. This feature-rich pistol is sure to appeal to competitive shooters, firearms enthusiasts, and professionals alike.
