What are the key Gen 5 features on the new Glock G29 and G30 models?

The new Gen 5 Glock G29 and G30 models incorporate several key features: no finger grooves for a more universal grip, front serrations for enhanced slide manipulation, an NLC finish for durability, an ambidextrous slide stop lever for easier operation by both right and left-handed shooters, and the GMBB barrel for improved accuracy.

How does the Glock G49 MOS improve concealability and shooting experience?

The Glock G49 MOS achieves improved concealability by using a G19-sized frame with a longer G17/G47 slide. This combination reduces printing while the longer slide increases sight radius and mass for a softer shooting experience, utilizing the compact recoil system from the G19 and G47.

The Glock G29, chambered in 10mm, is highlighted for outdoor and backcountry self-defense, particularly in areas with large predators. The Glock G30, in .45 ACP, is presented as an iconic and comfortable carry pistol suitable for various purposes, maintaining shootability even during rapid fire.

What makes the G49 MOS a distributor-exclusive model?

The Glock G49 MOS is a distributor-exclusive model, meaning it is produced and distributed through specific authorized Glock distributors. Its unique configuration, featuring a G19 frame with a G17/G47 length slide, is designed to offer specific advantages in concealability and shootability for those who can acquire it.
