Notes
The G17L Gen5 MOS brings the classic long-slide competition platform up to modern standards. The overall length is 240mm, slightly shorter than the original G17L's 242mm due to minor slide geometry changes. The MOS sights are taller than standard, providing a 208mm sight radius for co-witnessing with mounted optics. The Gen5 improvements (nDLC finish, Marksman Barrel, ambidextrous controls) address long-standing requests from competition shooters. Ships with adapter plates for common optic footprints.
