GLOCK G17L MOS Gen5 Introduced
On May 17, 2024, GLOCK announced the next Gen5 addition the G17L Gen5 MOS chambered in 9mm.
The G17L completely skipped over the 4th generation. In the past 26 plus years since, small runs of the G17L Gen3 have been offered. There were two early variants of G17L Gen1 one with a standard barrel and one with a ported barrel.
This is a high-performance pistol featuring a long barrel, a well-balanced slide, long sight radius and a slightly lighter trigger pull is made for competition and enables reliable precision. The model G17L Gen5 features MOS technology, enabling effortless mounting of optical sights for faster target acquisition.
The G17L Gen5 MOS has been updated to include all Gen5 design features and technology. This includes the GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) and the elimination of finger grooves for individualized grips. The G17L Gen5 MOS pistol is also designed with an added ambidextrous slide stop lever and the reversable magazine catch to enable optimal handling for both right and left-handed operators.
"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.
Gen5 GLOCK pistols are manufactured with the Safe Action® System. The Safe Action® System features three independently operating mechanical safeties that disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released. This allows for maximum performance and reliability while never compromising the safety of the pistol.
