Key Features – Gen6 Innovations
Sixth Generation – What’s New
The Gen6 platform builds on the success of the glock 17 gen 5 with several key improvements.
First, the Optics Ready (OR) slide is now standard on most models. Therefore, you can mount red dot sights directly using the MOS system.
Second, the grip texture has been further refined for better purchase without being abrasive.
Third, the trigger features a smoother pull with an improved reset. Consequently, accuracy potential is increased.
Fourth, the slide stop lever is now ambidextrous as standard equipment.
Fact: While the glock 17 gen 5 schreckschuss (blank-firing training pistol) shares the Gen5 appearance, this Glock 17 Gen6 OR is a live-fire duty pistol. The schreckschuss models are for training only – this is the real steel action pistol.
Optics Ready (OR) – MOS System
The Gen6 OR features GLOCK’s Modular Optic System (MOS).
First, the MOS system includes multiple adapter plates. Therefore, you can mount most popular red dot footprints – Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407C/507C, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and others.
Second, the optics-ready slide allows for co-witness with standard-height sights. Consequently, you have backup aiming capability if your optic fails.
Third, the MOS system is factory-engineered. As a result, the optic sits properly and maintains zero under recoil.
Fact: The Glock 17 Gen6 OR joins other 9mms in the GLOCK lineup. Compared to a nine millimeter beretta like the 92FS, the GLOCK offers a striker-fired action with consistent trigger pull.
GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB)
The GLOCK Marksman Barrel is standard on Gen5 and Gen6 pistols.
First, the barrel features enhanced rifling for improved accuracy. Therefore, it delivers tighter groups than previous generations.
Second, the feed ramp is polished from the factory. Consequently, feeding reliability with all ammunition types is excellent.
Third, the barrel is cold hammer-forged – GLOCK’s signature manufacturing process.
Fact: The GMB on the Glock 17 Gen6 is the same barrel technology used in glock 17 gen 5 models. Accuracy is exceptional for a factory duty pistol.
nDLC Finish – Extreme Durability
The Gen6 features GLOCK’s nDLC (non-Diamond Like Carbon) finish.
First, it is harder and more wear-resistant than traditional finishes. Therefore, holster wear is minimal.
Second, the finish is self-lubricating to a degree. Consequently, the pistol functions reliably even with minimal lubrication.
Third, the nDLC finish is corrosion-resistant. As a result, the Glock 17 performs in harsh environments – from the range to the field.
No Finger Grooves – Universal Fit
The Gen6 continues the finger-groove-free design introduced with Gen5.
First, the finger grooves have been removed. Therefore, the grip fits a wider range of hand sizes comfortably – from shooters who also own a karabiner 98k rifle to those who carry a nine millimeter beretta.
Second, the grip features the flared magazine well . Consequently, reloads are faster and more positive.
Third, the reversible magazine catch accommodates left-handed shooters.

Who Is This Pistol For?
For Duty / Law Enforcement
The Glock 17 has served law enforcement for over 40 years. The Gen6 OR adds modern optics capability to this proven platform. The 17+1 capacity, reliable steel action, and lightweight polymer frame make it ideal for duty use.
Pair it with a benelli m4 shotgun for a complete duty setup.
For Home Defense / Personal Defense Weapon
With 17+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a Picatinny rail for lights, and GLOCK’s legendary reliability, the Glock 17 Gen6 OR is an excellent personal defense weapon.
Store it alongside your karabiner 98k rifle in your collection – one for history, one for modern defense.
For Shooters Upgrading from Older GLOCKs
If you own a glock 17 gen 5 or a glock 17 gen 5 schreckschuss (blank-firing training pistol), the Gen6 OR is a significant upgrade. You get factory optics readiness, improved trigger, and the latest ergonomic refinements.
The glock 17 gen 5 schreckschuss is excellent for training, but the Gen6 OR is your live-fire duty pistol.
For Collectors
The Glock 17 is a historically significant firearm – the pistol that revolutionized the industry. The Gen6 represents the latest evolution.
Add it to your collection alongside a karabiner 98k (K98 Mauser), a nine millimeter beretta 92FS, and other classic 9mms. Each represents a different era of firearms design.
For Shooters Who Own Multiple 9mm Pistols
If your collection includes a nine millimeter beretta, a glock 19, or other 9mms, the Glock 17 Gen6 OR adds a full-size optics-ready option. The consistent trigger pull of the steel action GLOCK system complements the DA/SA trigger of the Beretta.
Train with both. Carry the GLOCK for duty. Enjoy the Beretta for its classic design.
For Hunters as Backup
Carry the Glock 17 Gen6 OR as a backup to your remington 700 bolt action rifle or sauer 505. The 9mm Luger is adequate for finishing shots, and the 17-round capacity provides peace of mind.
Gen6 vs. Gen5 – What Changed?
| Feature | GLOCK 17 Gen6 OR | GLOCK 17 Gen5 |
|---|---|---|
| Optics Ready | Standard (MOS) | Optional on some models |
| Grip Texture | Refined Gen6 texture | Gen5 texture |
| Trigger | Smoother pull, improved reset | Gen5 trigger |
| Slide Finish | nDLC | nDLC |
| Finger Grooves | No | No |
| Magazine Well | Flared | Flared |
| Best For | Shooters who want factory optics | Shooters who prefer iron sights |
Verdict: The Gen6 OR is the clear choice if you want a factory optics-ready pistol. If you prefer iron sights only, a glock 17 gen 5 may still be available. However, glock 17 gen 5 schreckschuss models are training-only – not for live fire.
The Legacy – From 1982 to Today
The original Glock 17 was introduced in 1982. It was the first successful polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol.
Fact: The name “17” comes from the 17-round magazine capacity – innovative at the time. Today, 9mms from many manufacturers offer similar capacity, but the glock 17 remains the benchmark.
The Glock 17 has served military and police forces in over 50 countries. It is the standard against which all other duty handguns are measured – including the nine millimeter beretta 92FS, which served the US military from 1985 to 2017.
For collectors, pairing a glock 17 with a karabiner 98k shows the evolution of firearms from bolt-action rifles of WWII to modern polymer pistols.
Ammunition Recommendations
The Glock 17 Gen6 OR performs reliably with all SAAMI-spec 9mm ammunition.
For practice: 9×19 FMJ from S&B, Geco, Magtech, Fiocchi, or Federal. The GMB barrel handles all standard pressure loads.
For defense: Premium hollow points such as Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P, Hornady Critical Duty 135gr, or Federal HST 124gr.
For competition: 124gr or 147gr FMJ with a consistent power factor.
Note: While glock 17 gen 5 schreckschuss models use blank ammunition, this Glock 17 Gen6 OR uses standard 9mm Luger cartridges.
