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 full-size 9mm Glock models like the Glock 34.
What is the difference between the Gen4 and Gen5 Glock 17?
The Gen5 model features a flared magwell, an ambidextrous slide stop lever, the removal of finger grooves on the grip, and a marksman barrel. The Gen4, featured here, retains the finger grooves and has a reversible magazine catch, making it a preferred choice for those who like that specific grip feel and configuration.
Does this model include the modular backstraps?
Yes. The Glock 17 Gen4 comes from the factory with multiple interchangeable backstraps (Small, Medium, Large) to tailor the grip circumference to your hand size.
