TFB Exclusive: Glock 17M In The Wild

[Zarvan]

With the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meeting now just a few days away, new product announcements are a foregone conclusion. At the top of my (and many others) list of releases is the the elusive Glock Generation 5 and/or ‘M’ models that may or may not make an appearance sometime this year. Possibly signaling pending public availability, a legitimate ‘high speed, low drag’ friend of mine was just issued a Glock 17M for some real-world testing.

As TFB’s Patrick R has noted in the past, the ‘M’ model Glock pistols include features often requested by customers. Most notably, the lack of finger grooves and a flared magazine well. I am also a fan of the beveling on the forward portion of the slide.

If you also remember, last August TFB reported that Glock had recalled fielded 17M’s with apparent slide issues. Hopefully those have been corrected in this newest release.

FIELDING THE GLOCK 17M:

As my friend’s testing progresses, we hope to bring you updates with what features work and any observations or failures experienced during the trials. Hopefully along with some additional images.

Again, at this point we have no idea if the ‘M’ series will make it into public hands or if a separate ‘Generation 5’ series will debut sometime in the future. However, additional field trials are a usually a good sign of things to come.

Dear Glock: You had me at ‘no finger groves’. Call me.

You really like GLOCK don't you? But don't you reckon that FN-Scar-Seven is much better weapons? Take a look at it.

From FN I think this HandGun will come although many FN products are great but I see chances of this handgun coming the most from FN

I think perhaps you are right, its an effective weapon, not as good as FN-SCAR-SEVEN, but quite a reliable one. And it cost almost 45% of the price of FN-SCAR-SEVEN.

I reckon if Pakistan Military would had to chose in ether FN-509 and Glock 17M, than Glock 17M is much better in terms of Reliability and efficiency. It is easy to operate and the parts of Glock are much cheaper to that of a FN-SCAR and predecessors, and it is $100 USD cheaper too.

Which ever handgun we would choose it would be produced in Pakistan yes first 60000 to 80000 will come from company others will be produced in Pakistan.
