FEATURES
Customizable frame size
Every GLOCK Gen5 comes with beavertail backstraps in two sizes. The backstrap frame allows the users to change the circumference of the grip to fit their individual hand size.
Enlarged floor plate
The enlarged front of the floor plate makes it easier to pull the magazine free of the pistol if it doesn't fall free during malfunction or reload.
Front serrations (FS)
To provide a different look and an additional tactile surface.
Gen4 RTF - Rough textured frame
The Gen4 proven rough textured frame surface is present on the Gen5 frame as well. It was designed to enhance grip traction, without beeing to aggressive.
GLOCK Marksman barrel
The GLOCK Marksman barrel (GMB) features enhanced barrel rifling based on the proven polygonal barrel design which delivers improved accuracy.
Loaded chamber indicator
Visible and palpable indicator as part of the extractor to show whether there is a cartridge in the chamber.
Reversible magazine catch
The magazine catch of the Gen5 frame is reversible and enlarged towards the rear of the pistol. The reversible magazine catch is more user friendly to the shooter's reach and allows them to switch the catch to the left or right side of the pistol.
Flared magwell for speedloading
The larger opening of the flared magwell makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the magwell, particulary in high-stress situations where fractions of a second matter.

Mounting rail
Mounting rails in front of the trigger guard of all competition, standard, and compact frames allow mounting accessories such as tactical lights and lasers.
nDLC finish
GLOCK's nDLC provides tougher, more durable protection than previously used finish. The nDLC finish increases protection against corrosion and scratching and improves the ability of the pistol to function in adverse conditions.
Safety advantage through orange follower
The orange follower allows the shooter to clearly see if there are any rounds left in the magazine or not.
