Product Overview

The Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS 9mm represents the latest evolution in the world’s most trusted duty pistol platform. This full-size, striker-fired handgun is chambered in 9mm Luger and built around a 4.49-inch barrel, offering an ideal balance of sight radius, velocity, and controllability. Designed for the serious user, the G17 Gen 6 is engineered for law enforcement professionals, qualified armed citizens seeking a home defense firearm, and competitive shooters who demand unwavering reliability. Its primary roles are defensive carry, duty use, and range training, where its proven performance and 17+1 round capacity provide confidence in critical situations. The inclusion of the Modular Optic System (MOS) platform forward-thinks this classic design, ensuring compatibility with the modern shooter’s needs.

Key Features

• Gen 6 MOS Optics-Ready System: Features an updated, machined slide interface designed for improved compatibility and a more secure fit with a wide array of popular red dot sights (optic not included). This allows for rapid target acquisition and enhanced accuracy without permanent slide modifications.
• Enhanced DLC Finish: The slide is treated with a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish. This provides superior corrosion resistance, exceptional hardness for durability against holster wear, and a consistent, low-glack matte black appearance.
• 17-Round Standard Capacity: Comes equipped with a reliable, factory-standard 17-round magazine, offering ample capacity for defensive scenarios, training sessions, or competition stages. The proven magazine design is known for its rugged construction and consistent feeding.
• Striker-Fired Reliability: Utilizes Glock’s Safe Action system, a consistent trigger pull from first to last shot with no external safety to disengage. This simple, robust design is renowned for its dependable function under diverse conditions.
• Adaptable Polymer Frame: The high-strength polymer frame incorporates Glock’s modular backstrap system, allowing you to customize the grip circumference to fit your hand size for improved control and comfort. It’s lightweight yet incredibly durable.
• Fixed Sights & 4.49″ Barrel: Equipped with durable factory fixed sights for a clear sight picture, co-witnessing with most mounted optics. The 4.49-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel provides accuracy, longevity, and optimal ballistic performance from the 9mm cartridge.
