Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Ben Stoeger prefer the Glock 47 over other Glock models like the 19 or 34?

Ben Stoeger favors the Glock 47 for its superior shooting dynamics, perceived softer recoil, and better balance compared to models like the Glock 19 and 34. He finds its Gen 5 features combined with a 17-sized frame and 19-like grip ergonomics make it exceptionally versatile for various applications, from training to competition.

How does the Glock 47 compare to the Glock 19 in terms of shooting feel and grip?

The Glock 47 offers a larger grip than the Glock 19, providing more margin for error and a slightly softer shooting experience. While the 19 snaps more, the 47's dynamics are perceived as more athletic and controllable, making it easier to achieve consistent results.

What are the advantages of the Glock 47 for training and professional use?

The Glock 47's mechanical simplicity, ease of use, and ubiquitous nature make it ideal for professional settings like law enforcement and competitive shooting. Its adaptability allows instructors to apply the same principles across different platforms, making it a sound choice for business and training purposes.

Are there any common issues with the Glock 47's recoil spring assembly?

While some users have reported recoil spring assembly failures around 5,000 rounds, the instructor has not experienced this in his own Glock 47s. A past manufacturing issue with faulty captive spring caps was identified, but modern springs are generally considered reliable and should last within the manual's service life.
