The REAL Difference Between GLOCK 17 and 47
The primary distinction between the Glock 17 and Glock 47 lies in the dust cover length. The Glock 47 features a shortened dust cover, comparable to that of a Glock 19, while the Glock 17's dust cover extends flush with the slide. This design facilitates 'crossover models' like the Glock 45, enabling modularity between different Glock platforms. The Glock 47 was initially developed for US Customs and Border Protection in 2019 and is now commercially available.
