Description
The 4th Generation Glock 17C is a notable variant of Glock’s popular 17 series, designed to offer enhanced shooting performance through its compensated design. This model stands as a pinnacle of modern firearm engineering, combining innovation with unmatched reliability. The pistol is a favored choice for both law enforcement and civilian enthusiasts.
Here’s a detailed look at the key features and innovations that set the Gen 4 Glock 17C apart:
Compensated Barrel: The “C” in 17C stands for “Compensated.” All C-variant Glocks feature a specially designed barrel with integrated ports that redirect gas upward when firing. This helps reduce recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing the firearm’s accuracy by making it easier to control the recoil and achieve faster follow-up shots. Many shooters refer to this benefit as “flatter shooting” than a standard Glock 17, which is why it is a favorite among competition shooters who want to achieve improved precision at rapid rates of fire.
Gen 4 Enhancements: As part of Glock’s fourth generation, the 17C includes several improvements over Gen 3 models.
- Interchangeable Backstraps: The Gen 4 introduces Glock’s MBS, a modular backstrap system, allowing users to customize the grip size and beavertail height, for improved ergonomics and comfort.
- Frame Texture: Standard on Gen 4 Glock pistols is an improved texture, sometimes called RTF3, for better grip and control, even in adverse conditions.
- Magazine Release: The redesigned magazine catch both facilitates faster reloads, and accommodates left and right-handed operators. It is both reversible and enlarged, and most importantly is changeable at the user level.
Durable Construction: Built with Glock’s renowned Zytel 6/6 glass-filled polymer frame and a Tenifer-coated stainless steel slide, the 17C is both lightweight and incredibly durable. Its robust design is engineered to withstand extensive and rigorous use while maintaining consistent performance. Internally, the new dual recoil spring assembly substantially reduces the wear and tear on the system.
The standout Glock 17C embodies the fusion of advanced technology and practical design, making it a standout choice for those who demand both reliability and performance from their firearm. Whether you’re at the range or on duty, the 17C Gen 4 is engineered to meet and exceed expectations.
