Glock 17L? No Optic Cut For You!

Glock had to reduce the weight of the Glock 17L slide substantially to still cycle standard 9mm ammo. They did so with relief cuts on the underside of the slide.

What do you think of the Glock 17L? There's a rumor they're about to release a Gen 5 MOS version soon...

I’ve had my 17L for about 5 years now. Absolutely adore this pistol. Just slapped some good sights on it and called it good. Prolly about 10k rounds through it atm

Awesome. Lenny sporting a Glock mat. I never knew the 17L and 41 had those cuts but makes sense.

17L is one of my favorite. That longer barrel.

This is a very, very informative video. I did not know this! I’ve wanted a 17L for quite a while. Looks like it’ll have the dovetail mount for a 507 Comp.

@jeffwollman8969 21 күн бұрын

I elected putting the Dovetail Innovations adapter plate on my generation two Glock 17L prior to the Glock Store coming out with their similar one The Dovetail Adaptive plate puts the rear sight in front of the optic. This is similar to the Glock Store's Combat MOS cut out that they do. I will be ordering a plate from the Glock Store to compare the two types. Lenny: Thank you for pointing out the deep cuts in the 17L, as I never thought about that.

Hi Lenny, first Thxs for all the videos you post. It’s extremely helpful. My dream would be a long slide in the 48 size. I wonder how it would look and handle? The 17l Love the g48 Thx

Can you offer the 10 Day optic milling where you can drop it off with an appointment to mill the slide that same or following day pick-up. Instead of shipping off the slide?

I have a G17L and a G24, and thankfully, I have zero interest in mounting optics on my handguns.

@ValidSurvival 21 күн бұрын

Those relief cuts look like they could make a difference in handling. As a gun enthusiast, I appreciate the innovation, but I wonder if sacrificing the option for an optic cut might limit customization possibilities for some shooters.

@RIPPER334 21 күн бұрын

The 17L has been made since before anyone ever heard of putting an optic on a pistol... Not so much a sacrifice, as the design is older than the trend.

@johndeere1951a 20 күн бұрын

G17L was invented way before optics. Move along now to a pistol intended for optics.

@youngretro5829 Күн бұрын

There are other companies that will mill out the slide for the 17l, jagerworks and others

@jumboMIDGET 21 күн бұрын

I'm not sure I understand about the Glock 41. I have factory MOS version of that gun with a holosun mounted with the same old plate system you'd find on any other MOS Glock. Can you explain further?

@RIPPER334 21 күн бұрын

The difference is he's talking about milling a gun out, and you're talking about a gun that came from the factory already cut... The slides are not the same.

it's a shame they didn't include an optic cut option. Would've been a great addition for those of us who prefer to customize our setups for better aiming precision.

@RIPPER334 21 күн бұрын

The 17L is older than the trend of optics on handguns. They didn't just opt out, the gun was just made before optics were a thing.

@johndeere1951a 20 күн бұрын

Sorry Charlie, no Mr Magoo optics for the G17L Listen to this man. Stop whining, stop rumours. Add a green fiber optic front sight with a black serrated rear sight. 🎯 Bullseye time ✌️🎯

You can ACRO cut a 17L, but obviously that limits your options.

@terrybush7 21 күн бұрын

Sorry but that info is incorrect. The g34 gen 5 is very similar. You mill it for mos cut, and use a c&h plate. Works just fine.

@RIPPER334 21 күн бұрын

A 34 is not a 17L, 24, 40, or 41... The slides are not the same between any of the gen3/gen4 guns he mentioned, and a gen 5 34 (that has nothing to do with anything he said). And the gen 5 34 slide isn't even "very similar" to a 17L or 24 gen 3, or gen 4 40 and 41.

@RIPPER334 21 күн бұрын

I hope they make it... but... It's been 15 years since "gen 4" became available... And you still can't get a 17L in anything but gen 3. With such low production numbers, I doubt they will ever release a gen 5mos version of the 17L. They've talked about it for years, also talked about bringing the 24 back, and making a carbine.
