The GLOCK G17 Gen6 delivers enhanced ergonomics for increased usability and comfort with a unique optic ready system in a full-size package. The G17 pistol features a standard frame with a full-length side and a 17 round magazine capacity. The ergonomic frame with palm swell, thumb rest, and Gen6 grip texture combines to create an intuitive design that locks in your grip. Gen6 pistols come optic-ready with a system engineered for adaptability and durability, and they come standard with a flat-faced trigger for consistent finger placement. The Safe Action® System is a fully automatic safety system consisting of three passive, independently operating, mechanical safeties. All three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released. The 6th generation of GLOCK pistols tells a story of ergonomics. This story was not written by us – it was written by you. We analyzed and measured hands of all shapes and sizes. The goal? To build every detail of the Gen6 around your needs. The new generation of GLOCK pistols bring key ergonomic advancements, a flat faced trigger design, and a new Gen6 optic ready system into one platform. The specially developed RTF6 texture now provides even more coverage of the pistol, including new areas like the thumb rest, and delivers exceptional grip and confidence in any situation. The Gen6 was engineered not only for precision, reliability and unmatched ergonomics – it was engineered for you. GLOCK’s revolutionary Safe Action® System provides a consistent trigger pull from the first to the last round. The action is never set (or fully cocked) except when the trigger is pulled completely to the rear. The three automatic, independently operating mechanical safeties are built into the fire control system of the pistol. Every GLOCK pistol comes with 3 independent safeties and they work sequentially off the movement of the trigger: Trigger safety Firing pin safety Drop safety All three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled. They automatically reengage when the trigger is released. Safe Action® System Three safeties are released in sequence when the trigger is pulled and are automatically reengaged when the trigger is released. nDLC Finish The GLOCK nDLC finish increases protection from corrosion and abrasion, especially in adverse weather conditions. GLOCK Marksman Barrel The rifling of the GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) is slightly different from the proven polygonal profile, resulting in improved precision. Slide Serrations Slide serrations on the Gen6 are angled deeper into the slide to make the surface engagement more tactile for slide manipulations. Ambidextrous Slide Stop Lever The ambidextrous slide stop lever improves handling of the slide for both right- and left-handed users. The border surrounding the slide stop lever has been enlarged to prevent unintentional activation. Mounting Rail The mounting rail is located in front of the trigger guard on the frame, which enables the attachment of tactical lights and laser modules. Flat Faced Trigger Each Gen6 pistol comes standard with a flat faced trigger for consistent finger placement and trigger pull. The undercut trigger guard allows for higher grip support and comfort. The reduced distance from the frame to the trigger makes it easier to reach the trigger for a variety of users. RTF6 Grip Texture The Gen6 grip texture (RTF6) combines two textures into one to create the perfect blend of performance and comfort. The area of grip texture has been expanded to reach higher on the frame and onto the thumb rest for maximum grip purchase. Palm Swell The palm swell contours the pistol to the natural curvature of the hand. Enlarged Beavertail The enlarged beavertail encourages a higher grip while ensuring the slide can cycle freely. To adjust the grip circumference to individual needs, two different backstraps can be mounted. Reversible Magazine Catch The reversible magazine catch can be fitted to the shooter’s needs and installed on the left or right side of the frame. Gen6 Optic Ready System The Gen6 pistols come optic ready with a system engineered for adaptability and durability.
