The Glock 17 Gen5 FS is the definitive evolution of the duty pistol platform, engineered for shooters who demand uncompromising reliability and modern ergonomics. It’s the model our own staff uses for shop demonstrations, a testament to its performance. We added it to our catalog in summer 2025 and it has proven to be a consistently reliable seller with overwhelmingly positive feedback.
