Because of its unsurpassed reliability, the above-average magazine capacity of 17 rounds in the standard magazine and its low weight, this model is considered the most used government pistol in the world. The 4th generation with the revolutionary "Safe Action" trigger system enters the race with interchangeable backstraps and an improved grip: In contrast to the previous generations of the Glock 17 more roughened - the weapon can be held non-slip even when wet. In addition, the magazine release button has been extended and is therefore much easier to use.
