This video provides a first look at the new Glock V Series, specifically the Glock 17 CV. The presenter notes that the V Series was developed to prevent the use of aftermarket auto-sears and switches. While visually similar to the Gen 5, the CV models feature a compensated slide and barrel. The reviewer finds the shooting experience to be largely the same as a standard Glock 17, with the comp offering minimal perceived difference in recoil reduction, though some shot consistency improvements are noted. The lack of an MOS option out-of-the-box is highlighted as a drawback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the Glock V Series?

The Glock V Series, including models like the 17 CV, was developed by Glock to prevent the use of aftermarket auto-sears and switches that could convert their semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones. This series aims to address a specific security concern within their product line.

What does the 'CV' designation mean on Glock pistols?

The 'CV' designation on Glock pistols, such as the Glock 17 CV, indicates that the firearm is 'compensated.' This means it features ports in the slide and barrel designed to redirect gas upwards, helping to reduce muzzle rise and improve control during firing.

How does the compensated Glock 17 CV compare to a standard Glock 17 Gen 5?

According to the reviewer, the Glock 17 CV is visually very similar to the Gen 5, with the main difference being the compensated slide and barrel. While the shooting experience is largely the same, some subtle improvements in shot consistency were noted, though significant recoil reduction was not perceived.

Does the new Glock V Series come with MOS capability?

A notable point of criticism is that the new Glock V Series models, including the 17 CV, are not offered with the MOS (Modular Optic System) cut from the factory. This means users will need to seek aftermarket slide milling for red dot sight installation.
