Pics of new Glock 17 M are out

[Erik88]

It appears most of the rumors are true. Glock has released a new version of the 17 in order to win the FBI trials. As someone that's a huge Glock fan I have to say that I haven't been overly excited by them in quite some time but this new one has some neat features. I don't know that I would buy one as I already have a Gen 4 17 that works just fine but I think these will sell like crazy.

I do have a question, what is the advantage of a flared mag well?

Cool, now maybe I can pick up some cheap Gen 4's once everyone dumps theirs to fund this new one.

I like that the finger groves are gone. I wonder when these will be offered to  civilians?

A flared magwell helps create more of a funnel to aid in mag insertion in stressful/high speed situations.  It's pretty much a standard feature on any race/competition gun to help reduce fumbling, etc.

Some speculate that this will be the Gen 5 once offered to civi's. I haven't bought a new pistol in a couple years, I may need this.

I've seen it posted a couple of places that the 17M and 19M are government contract only. MAC(Military Arms Channel on YouTube) got ahold of one from an Indianapolis State Police contact. Civilian sales will be called the Gen 5 and released at SHOT show 2017.

 

I was really hoping for a full mil spec picatinny rail and ambi mag release and front cocking serrations.

Right, that's what I meant. The "M" designations won't be available to us cake eating civilians, but that this could very well be what they rebrand as "gen 5". Agree on the front serrations. It's on my list of things to do for a couple of my current slides.

No finger grooves... I'd buy one. 

 

That's one of the reasons I enjoy my Gen 1 so much.

[shotgunshooter]

I'll grab one eventually if this is real. I like that I don't have to dremel anything off.

Interesting but nothing really earth shaking, although ditching the finger grooves is pretty cool.

Big deal...another Glock.

Glock hasn't done anything earth shaking since the mid 80's but some of these changes are nice to see. I'd like to get my hands on just to see what a gen 4 frame feels like without those damn finger grooves. We'll probably have to wait for shot show.

This just isn't moving the needle very much for me.

Everything but the ambi slide release is available on the aftermarket. Some people want a bone stock gun with no changes, some don't mind making changes. I'm in the latter, although it usually ends up being more expensive that way. At least Glock is improving, albeit ever so slightly and only because of landing a major contract.

GLOCK is finally making an effort toward human ergonomics.  For them that IS a big deal.

[enfield]

meh

[suspiciousmind]

I will be buying a civilian model when it becomes available.

[Fourtyfive]

Mag well , smooth grip , getting ergo... Kinda getting towards our beloved 1911. Never gonna happen , now don't post those Glock 1911 pics !

[ehull20000]

Does this one have BTF?  

Does this one have Gen 3 reliability? 

After that is sorted out and IF my Gen 3's get boring to me, then I'll buy one.  Hopefully they keep the MOS version around.

Am I the only one who likes the finger grooves on the grip of the Gen4's? 

I believe the only fixing needed would be a better finish over the Gen4's and maybe a full picatinny rail.

I'll just say they are less obnoxious than the ones on Gen3's.
