The fully licensed airsoft Glock 17 and 19 Gen 4 pistols which were released early this year just suddenly look old. Glock announced the new Glock 17 Gen 5 & Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS optic ready pistols and now we are looking forward that the airsoft versions of these pistols will soon follow. Also announced is the Glock Compact Crossover Pistol Model G45.

Lest you might think the Glock Model 45 Crossover pistol uses the .45 ACP, you will be surprised that it is a compact 9mm pistol that uses a full-size Gen5 style frame with the compact-size slide featuring front serrations and the removal of the half-moon cut on the frame. It has a beveled and flared magwell for faster reloads; nDLC  finish that reduces corrosion and scratches; Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) which has a more aggressive rifling for even better accuracy; and it also features an Ambidextrous Slide Lever for easier manipulation for left and right handed shooters.

The MOS, which was first introduced with the Glock 17 and 19 Gen 4s early this January, will allow precision shooting as it allows shooters to mount reflex sights on them. With the Glock 17 Gen 5 and 19 Gen 5 MOS , they also feature front serrations for easier and quicker manipulations just like the Glock 45 and join the Glock 34 Gen 5 MOS that was introduced earlier this year.

“The MOS platform offers a convenient way for users to mount reflex sights without costly alterations to an original Glock slide,” said osh Dorsey, Glock vice president. “The resulting combination of optical sighting and the unparalleled accuracy and reliability of the new generation of Glock pistols set a new standard for this class of pistol.”

Both the Glock 17 and Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS will be available to purchase come October 5 though no pricing has been announced yet. The Glock Compact Crossover Pistol Model G45 will be presented at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference next month.
