This guide details the modularity of the Glock 47 MOS, highlighting its compatibility with Glock 19 and 17 components. The video, presented by Mrgunsngear, emphasizes how armorers and enthusiasts can create various configurations by mixing slides and frames, leveraging the G19-length dust cover on the G47 MOS. It also touches on magazine compatibility and the Gen5 trigger and slide features.

Quick Summary

The Glock 47 MOS Gen5, originally for DHS/Secret Service, offers unique modularity due to its G19-length dust cover on a G17-sized frame. This allows mixing with G19 parts for configurations like G19L. It boasts 100% reliability over 500 rounds and features the Glock Marksman Barrel, though factory sights and optic plate options are criticized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the Glock 47 MOS and the Glock 17?

The primary difference is the G47 MOS features a G19-length dust cover on its G17-sized frame, enabling modularity and parts compatibility with the G19 platform, unlike the standard G17.

How does the Glock 47 MOS facilitate modularity?

Its G19-length dust cover allows users to mix and match Gen5 slides and frames with G19 components, creating configurations like a G19L (G17 slide on G19 frame) or G45/19X style setups.

What are the key performance aspects of the Glock 47 MOS?

The G47 MOS offers 100% reliability over 500 rounds, including hollow points, with a recoil impulse identical to the Glock 17, and features the Glock Marksman Barrel for improved accuracy.

What are the criticisms of the Glock 47 MOS?

The reviewer noted that the factory plastic sights are a drawback, and the pistol only ships with one RMR-pattern optic plate, necessitating additional purchases for other optic footprints.
