Glock 17C V Gen5 9mm Compensated Pistol 4.49″ Barrel 10rd, 3 Mags

Description

Glock has been building the 17 since the early eighties, and the 17C V is what happens when they take that proven full-size platform and give it a factory answer to muzzle flip. Precision-cut ports in the 4.49 inch barrel line up with vents in the slide, redirecting gas upward as you fire. The result is a pistol that stays noticeably flatter through a string of shots, which means your sights settle back on target quicker and your follow-up shots come easier. No aftermarket comp to install, no fitting, no fuss. It comes ported from the factory and runs like a Glock should.

What the Gen5 V Platform Brings to the 17C

This model rides on the Gen5 frame, so you get the smooth grip without finger grooves that fits a wider range of hands, plus the Glock Marksman Barrel with its improved rifling for tighter groups. The slide wears Glock's tough nDLC finish that shrugs off holster wear and rough weather, and front serrations give you solid purchase for press checks and slide manipulation. Fixed sights keep things simple and snag-free, and the familiar Safe Action trigger system delivers the same consistent pull every time. This particular configuration ships with three 10-round magazines, so mag changes at the range won't slow you down.

Where the Glock 17C V Earns Its Keep

The compensated setup makes the most sense for anyone putting real volume through their pistol. Range regulars will appreciate less fatigue over long sessions, newer handgun owners will find the softer muzzle behavior builds confidence faster, and folks who train for speed will notice their split times shrink. It still carries all the reliability the G17 is known for, so it works just as well as a nightstand gun or a duty-style sidearm as it does a range companion. If you have wanted a flatter-shooting 9mm without bolting parts onto your pistol, this is Glock doing the work for you.
