This Glock 17 Gen 4 features slide bevels and front serrations by Weapon Works LLC, an extended magazine release from TangoDown, Wilson Combat sights, and a Wheaton Arms match barrel. It also has a trigger guard undercut and custom trigger work.

What is the purpose of the front serrations on this Glock 17?
