Description
Most optic-ready pistols still leave you shopping for a dot, plates, and screws before your first range trip. This one skips all that. It starts with the Glock 17 V-Series, the newest evolution of the world's most-issued duty pistol, then adds a custom RMR-cut slide with a Viridian RFX35 green dot mounted and a clean black Cerakote finish over the top. Out of the box, the only thing left to do is confirm zero.
What the V-Series Brings to the G17
The V-Series keeps everything people liked about the Gen5 lineup and adds a redesigned internal setup aimed at improved safety and performance. You still get the ambidextrous slide stop, flared magwell for faster reloads, no finger grooves on the grip, and the Glock Marksman Barrel with its refined rifling and crown for tighter groups. The 4.49 inch barrel and 17+1 capacity of 9mm Luger make this a natural fit for duty, home defense, competition, or just long afternoons at the range. Front slide serrations give you solid purchase for press checks and clearing drills, and the interchangeable backstraps let you dial in the grip to your hand.
Why the Viridian RFX35 Green Dot Works Here
Green dots are easier for most eyes to pick up than red, especially in bright daylight, and the RFX35 is one of the better values in that space. It runs a crisp 3 MOA dot inside a generous 22x26mm window, housed in lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum that adds only about an ounce to the slide. Battery life from a single CR2032 stretches past 30,000 hours on middle settings, and features like instant-on, auto shut off, eight daylight brightness settings, and two night vision settings mean the dot is there when you need it without babysitting.
A Glock 17 That Arrives Range-Ready
Three 17-round magazines come standard, so you can load up and train without buying spares right away. If you have been thinking about making the jump to a dot-equipped full-size 9mm, this package saves you the gunsmith visit and the guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Glock 17 V-Series different from a Gen5 G17?
The V-Series carries over the full Gen5 feature set, including the ambidextrous slide stop, flared magwell, Marksman Barrel, and no finger grooves. On top of that, Glock reworked the internal design for improved safety and performance. From the outside it handles like the Gen5 you already know, with the updates happening under the hood.
Does the Viridian RFX35 come already mounted on this pistol?
Yes, the RFX35 arrives installed on the custom RMR-cut slide, so there are no plates to order or screws to source. You will still want to confirm zero with your preferred ammo before relying on it. Plan on 20 to 50 rounds at the range to get it dialed in.
Why a green dot instead of a red dot on the RFX35?
Green sits closer to the peak of the human eye's sensitivity, so most people pick it up faster, especially in bright sunlight. Folks with astigmatism often find a green dot appears crisper than red as well. The RFX35 pairs that green 3 MOA dot with a roomy 22x26mm window, which makes finding the dot on the draw noticeably easier.
How long does the battery last in the RFX35, and how do I change it?
Viridian rates the RFX35 at over 30,000 hours on middle brightness settings from a single CR2032 battery, which works out to years of typical use. It also has auto shut off and instant-on to stretch battery life further. The sight uses a standard RMR footprint, and the tools needed for maintenance come included with the optic.
