Duration: 13:39

This review of the Glock 47, presented with high authority by BIG MAN with GUN, highlights its design as a full-size slide (similar to the Glock 17) on a Glock 19 compatible frame. The video details its specific dimensions, MOS optic system compatibility, barrel length, and internal commonality with the Glock 19 Gen 5. While acknowledging its reliability and suitability for new owners or home defense, the speaker expresses a critical view of Glock's perceived lack of innovation, comparing its modularity unfavorably to systems like Sig Sauer's FCU.

Quick Summary

The Glock 47 combines a Glock 17-length slide with Glock 19 frame compatibility, featuring a 4.49-inch barrel and an MOS system for optics. While reliable, the review suggests it stems from contract needs rather than radical innovation, offering modularity but drawing criticism compared to more advanced systems like Sig Sauer's FCU.

Is the Glock 47 a significant innovation from Glock?

According to the BIG MAN with GUN review, the Glock 47 is seen more as a response to specific contract requirements (CBP) and a logical extension of Glock's modularity rather than a groundbreaking innovation, with the speaker expressing criticism about Glock's pace of development.

What optics can be mounted on the Glock 47's MOS system?

The Glock 47's MOS system typically comes with adapter plates compatible with popular red dot sights from brands like Trijicon, Ameriglo, and Holosun, though specific plates are needed for different optic footprints.
