Notes
The G47 is only available in MOS configuration -- all G47s come standard with the optic cut. The shortened dust cover is the key engineering feature that enables slide modularity: G19, G45, and G17-length slides all fit the G47 frame. This was CBP's primary requirement, allowing officers to configure their pistol for different duty assignments. Standard magazine capacity is 17 rounds, compatible with all Glock 17 magazines. The G47 MOS was the most anticipated Glock commercial release in years when it finally became available to civilians in early 2023.
Background
When the G47 MOS finally hit commercial shelves in 2023, it sold out almost everywhere within weeks. Gun enthusiasts had been waiting years for the CBP-exclusive model to become available. Many proclaimed it the 'best Glock ever made' -- the modular frame that could accept multiple slide lengths combined with the standard MOS optic cut and Gen5 refinements created the most versatile full-size Glock in the lineup. The shortened dust cover, originally an engineering solution for CBP's modularity requirement, became a sought-after feature that distinguished the G47 from the G17.
