This video compares the new Glock 17V to the original Glock 17 Gen 5, highlighting minor but significant internal and external modifications. The primary changes focus on preventing the installation of illegal 'switches' or auto sears. The presenter, Ganditi, notes subtle differences in the slide's internal ledges, striker thickness, striker channel, and a redesigned rear channel, all aimed at this prevention. The backplate and frame also feature minor alterations. Despite these changes, internal components like trigger bars and ejectors appear identical, suggesting no impact on reliability. The video concludes that the 17V is a subtle redesign to address legal concerns without compromising functionality.
The Glock V-Series represents Glock's response to legal pressures, introducing subtle internal modifications to prevent easy conversion to full-auto fire. Key changes include raised ridges in the breach area and an angled striker channel, making it harder to install auto sears. While the overall feel remains similar to Gen 5, some popular models like the 19 and 17 will no longer feature the MOS system out of the box, with only select larger caliber models and the 19X Threaded Barrel MOS retaining it.
