![]() So the 47 and Gen 5 17 with a ZEV Duty Slide with matching RMRs paired along with SurefireX300 are my set ups.įinal thoughts and opinion, I think Glock the 47 is fine and works as a substitute for a 17 Gen 5 MOS. It was a okay fine this will work for me purchase. Bottom line it is just like a 17, YMMV but for me it feels the same, with drills time is the same. I realize there is this whole new modularity thing in the gun world and I guess this was scientifically designed for a Border Patrol Contract for swapping parts. I am kidding, it's a Glock full size in 9mm and I can't tell a discernable difference from my 17. Glock 47 Review - It is a game changer the best gun I have ever owned. At any rate, I was said, "it'll work" so I bought it. I asked, "what it was and if it was good?" To which he replied, "it's stupid but you'll probably like it and it appears the Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS is gone for the foreseeable future." We took it apart and it appeared to be a Glock 17 with a reduced dust cover and a 19 recoil spring. So I decided I'll just grab a Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS to go with my Zev17Gen5Glockything, went to my local gun shop guy he was like, "I just got this thing in it is a Glock 47". At any rate, my back up Glock 17 Gen 3 was a baby rattle, it served me well through 2 barrels and countless parts and springs but it was done. My range bag consist of 2 similar Glocks, like 12 mags, some Glock specific tools, and a handful of replacement parts and springs. I like to have a back up gun set up exactly the same so when my main gets crazy hot from drills or I am taking a training course and a part fails I have one on standby. I don't really care about a super light trigger and as for the break, eventually with enough reps you get used to it.Įarlier this year, I upgraded to the Gen 5 17 then added a Zev Duty Slide with RMR so I could switch between Optic and Irons. ![]() Seems like most aftermarket triggers give up the reset and I personally like a firm, positive reset. I have also tried every Glock trigger imaginable but I like a stock trigger. I guess I've just got so comfortable with the 17 platform that I kind of just accepted that I am a Glock 17 guy for better or worse. Probably 50K+ rounds on that platform, but I occasionally tried the Sigs, FNs, Walther, M&Ps insert new polymer 9mm here. The Road to a Glock 47 - Over the years I settled on, then trained with a Gen 3 Glock 17 which eventually led to milling for an RMR. Also I needed to post on Enos Forum because the people I met here and at matches rocked. So here we are getting my gear sorted, still need to renew my USPSA and Practiscore Memberships so I can turn up at a local match. I walked by the local USPSA match watched a few rounds and was like oh I miss this. Earlier this year I got a membership at Volusia County Gun Club near New Smyrna Beach since I don't have the FDLE and County Range access anymore. Basically all that Magpul Art of Pistol and Rifle stuff was super popular at the time and there was a ton of new toys to test.Įventually, I left the LEO world and found myself in banking and finance but still trained regularly with friends. Ultimately life happens so I spent more time with my hero friends who were busy trying flashlights and slide ride dots on guns it was a whole equipment failure extravaganza only I did it for fun and their lives depended on it. You have to get those reps in and until you accept, everything else is just a distraction. As we all know or will learn, nothing substitutes training. I tried Open, Limited and Production, went through the buy skill and gear acquisition syndrome phase, the gunsmith phase. In the midst of all that I kind of got away from USPSA. Had so much fun training with those guys and learned an absolute ton through knowledge transfer. In the process, made friends with my range coordinator, then met a lot of active Patrol, SWAT and GWOT vets. Basically I filed paperwork and scheduled courses for active LEOs aka desk duty admin guy & one of the finest LEO paperwork dudes in Florida. I shot USPSA over 10 years ago in my late 20s at the time I was a Criminal Justice Training Coordinator in Florida. ![]() Maybe that will change in the future but for now that's the plan. A brief skim of the rules it would appear my equipment fits nicely into Carry Optics Division. Everything else below is just me getting back to Enos Forum and USPSA with a bunch of rambling.īackstory and Plans - After a long extended break I am about to return to USPSA, wish me luck. TLDR - Glock 47 is okay, it's a Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS. Skip ahead a few paragraphs to get to the review or skip this in general.
