Glock G17L
Glock lists the G17L Gen5 MOS as a Long Slide 9x19 mm Safe Action pistol built for competition, with a 153 mm barrel, a 17-round standard magazine and an optic-ready MOS slide. The directory normalizes its frame class as long-slide.

The scoped record flagged the most-recent-generation rule and the MOS-as-base-record rule as being in tension here; they are not, once the unlabeled-page test from the G31/G32/G33 batch is applied. The g17l page carries no generation in its title, heading or header chip, so it is the older listing; g17l-gen5-mos states Gen5 MOS in all three, making Gen5 the most recent generation, and Glock publishes it only in MOS configuration — so the MOS page is the base record under the 2026-08-11 decision, and the unlabeled g17l page remains a separate listing. Two manufacturer sources disagree on one measurement: the owner's manual (p. 59) gives the G17L Gen5 an overall length of 242 mm / 9.53 in, where this MOS product page gives 240 mm / 9.45 in; this record follows the current product page, and the manual agrees on width, height, capacity, trigger pull and weight with magazine. Two labels are normalized: the page's System row reads "Safe Action System" where Glock's other pages read "Safe Action", and its caliber row reads "9x19 mm".

02How many rounds does the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS hold?
Glock lists a 17-round standard magazine for the G17L Gen 5 MOS. Glock also lists 10 and 24-round capacities as optional. These are magazine capacities; a round carried in the chamber is not counted here.

04What are the dimensions of the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS?
Glock publishes 240 × 34 × 139 mm / 9.45 × 1.34 × 5.47 in (height: including magazine). Any measurement basis shown is the manufacturer's own qualifier; where none is shown, the manufacturer states none.
05How much does the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS weigh?
Glock publishes 640 g / 22.58 oz without a magazine; 720 g / 25.4 oz with an empty magazine fitted. These are different measurement conditions and are not interchangeable.
06What size class is the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS?
Glock lists the G17L Gen 5 MOS as Long Slide, and this directory records the same class.
07Is the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS striker-fired?
Glock publishes "Safe Action" as its own name for the action and does not classify an ignition type for the G17L Gen 5 MOS. This directory records the manufacturer's wording and leaves the ignition field empty rather than inferring a classification the source does not state.
08What is the trigger pull on the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS?
Glock lists 24 N / ≈5.4 lb. A published figure is a specification rather than a measurement of any individual firearm.
09When was the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS introduced?
2024, per the source cited on this record. Where a manufacturer publishes no dated announcement, this directory records no year rather than estimating one.
10Does the Glock G17L Gen 5 MOS have a warranty?
Glock states: One year from original purchase by the initial consumer; regional terms apply. Terms are as published at the date this record was checked and may vary by region.
