Why the Glock 17 Gen 6 MOS Wins
Having run this pistol through 500+ rounds on our Spring TX test range, the Gen 6 improvements are immediately noticeable. The enhanced grip texture beats previous generations’ slickness in humid conditions, and the MOS system maintains zero better than aftermarket mill jobs I’ve tested. For duty use or competition, this is the most refined Glock platform yet.
