Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines are compatible with the Glock 17 Gen4?
The Glock 17 Gen4 uses standard Glock 17 magazines (17-round). It is also compatible with higher-capacity Glock magazines (e.g., 19, 24, 33-round) and will accept magazines from other 9mm Glock models like the 19 and 26.
What is the difference between the Gen4 and Gen5 models?
The Gen4, featured here, introduced the modular backstrap system and a dual recoil spring. The Gen5 removed the finger grooves, added a flared magwell, and incorporated an ambidextrous slide stop. The Gen4 remains a top-tier option with proven field performance.
Is the Glock 17 Gen4 optics-ready?
No, this is a standard Gen4 model with a standard slide that is not pre-cut for a red dot optic. The slide can be machined by a qualified gunsmith for optic mounting if desired.
