Glock 17 Gen6 9MM

Glock 17 Gen6 in 9mm is a full‑size, optics‑ready duty pistol that adds new ergonomics, RTF6 grip texture, and a flat‑faced trigger to the classic 17‑round G17 platform.

The Glock 17 Gen6 9mm takes the original full‑size G17 duty pistol and updates it with a redesigned ergonomic frame, enhanced texture, and a modern optics‑ready slide system. It keeps the proven 17‑round magazine capacity, 4.49‑inch barrel, and full‑length slide that have made the G17 a law‑enforcement and duty standard worldwide, while adding refinements that improve comfort, control, and adaptability. The Gen6 frame incorporates an integrated palm swell, thumb rest, and an enlarged beavertail so you can achieve a higher, more secure grip without slide bite, enhancing recoil management and shot‑to‑shot consistency.

Glock’s new RTF6 (Rough Textured Frame 6) grip texture wraps more of the frame surface, including expanded coverage around the sides and thumb rest areas to help lock the pistol into your hand during rapid strings of fire. The removal of finger grooves and the included interchangeable backstrap set allow the grip size and feel to be tailored to different hand sizes while maintaining a straight, consistent trigger reach. This combination gives shooters a secure hold that balances traction with long‑term comfort for long training days.

Every G17 Gen6 ships optic‑ready, with Glock’s updated MOS‑style system engineered to be more durable and adaptable than previous generations. The slide includes front serrations for easier press checks and manipulations, and it typically comes with multiple mounting plates to support popular red dot footprints so you can mount an optic directly from the box. Standard Glock accessory rail space on the dust cover allows you to add weapon lights or lasers for low‑light work, making this a capable out‑of‑the‑box duty or home‑defense pistol.

The Gen6 line introduces a flat‑faced trigger, designed to promote consistent finger placement and a straight‑back press while retaining Glock’s Safe Action System of internal safeties. Factory trigger pull is listed at about 26 N (roughly 5.8 lb), giving a familiar duty‑grade pull with improved feel across the face of the shoe. Like previous generations, the G17 Gen6 uses a striker‑fired mechanism known for simplicity, reliability, and a consistent trigger press from the first to the last round.

Dimensionally, the G17 Gen6 remains a true full‑size pistol with an overall length of about 7.95 inches, a 4.49‑inch barrel, and an overall width around 1.35 inches. Weight is approximately 21.16 oz without a magazine, 23.99 oz with an empty magazine, and about 31.39 oz with a loaded 17‑round magazine, balancing shootability with all‑day carry viability. Standard capacity is 17 rounds, with optional factory magazines up to 33 rounds available for training or duty use where legal. The pistol is chambered in 9x19 mm and uses Glock’s Safe Action System with three internal safeties for drop‑safe, ready‑to‑fire carry in a variety of roles.
