Standard-frame Gen6 pistols are optic-ready and include three optic plates designed to accommodate compatible optics.

Updated Slide Serrations

The Gen6 slide features deeper, angled serrations intended to provide a more tactile engagement surface during slide manipulation.

Reversible Magazine Catch

The magazine catch can be configured for either side of the frame, providing ambidextrous configuration options.

What Is the Glock 17 Gen 6 Made Of?

The Glock 17 Gen 6 uses a polymer frame with a steel slide and barrel assembly. The platform also incorporates GLOCK’s nDLC finish, which GLOCK describes as providing protection against corrosion and abrasion.
