Why the Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS Stands Out
The Gen 6 MOS brings refinements to Glock’s proven platform – improved grip texture, forward slide serrations, and the crucial MOS cut that lets you mount popular optics like Trijicon RMR or Holosun without aftermarket milling. Having tested dozens of optics-ready pistols, the Glock MOS system offers the most secure mounting solution I’ve used.

❌ 10-round mags only (state compliance)
Who Should Buy This
Buy it if: You want the most proven optics-ready duty pistol on the market today. The Gen 6 refinements make this the best Glock 17 iteration yet for both iron sights and optic use.
Skip it if: You prefer metal-framed pistols or want a competition-ready trigger out of the box. See our 1911/2011 pistols for those applications.

Good quality for the price. Would buy again.

Bought this as part of a larger build project. F1firearms had the best price by a decent margin and shipping was fast. The Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS 9mm 4.49" Barrel 10-Rounds - 9mm itself is well-made — Quality control is on point. Overall this is exactly what I needed. Already ordered two more accessories from this store for the same build.

My range buddy got his from a different site and paid $20 more. Same product. He's ordering from here next time.

I've been shooting for 19 years and I'm picky about where I buy accessories online. F1firearms earned my business. The Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS 9mm 4.49" Barrel 10-Rounds - 9mm arrived in 3 days, packaged well, and fit my Glock 17 without any modification. I put 278 rounds through it that same weekend and had zero issues. The finish quality is better than I expected at this price point. I'll be back for more.
