Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key specifications of the Glock 47?

The Glock 47 is chambered in 9mm Luger and features a 4.49-inch barrel, identical to the Glock 17. It has a standard 17-round magazine capacity, an overall length of 7.95 inches, and a height of 5.47 inches with a loaded magazine. It is also optics-ready and includes front and rear slide serrations.

How is the Glock 47 considered modular?

The Glock 47's modularity allows for component interchangeability. For instance, combining a Glock 19 slide with a Glock 47 frame creates a Glock 45. Conversely, putting a Glock 47 slide on a Glock 19 frame results in what's referred to as a '19L'.

What are the shooting impressions of the Glock 47?

Shooters report that the Glock 47 feels good in the hand, similar to other Glocks, though some perceive a slightly different shooting dynamic compared to the Glock 17. Double-taps were noted as being harder to execute smoothly by one presenter.

What is the origin of the Glock 47's design?

The Glock 47 was developed partly in response to a request from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, who sought a more modular firearm than the Glock 19 but with increased capacity, which the Glock 47 provides with its 17-round magazine.
