The Glock 17L Gen5 MOS 9mm is back, answering the calls of competitive shooters and Glock enthusiasts alike. This long-slide variant of the iconic model 17 combines the reliability you've come to expect from Glock with features tailored for precision shooting and ease of use, and optics ready
The Glock 17L has long been a favorite among competitive shooters, and its return in Gen5 form is cause for celebration. The extended slide and barrel provide several advantages on the range, including increased sight radius for more precise aiming and higher muzzle velocity for flatter trajectories and increased energy on target. The beveled muzzle end makes reholstering easier.
Upgrades with Gen 5: This classic is now brought into the modern era. The Glock nDLC finish offers improved durability and corrosion resistance. The new barrel features enhanced polygonal rifling for better accuracy, while the removal of finger grooves on the grip allows for a more universal fit reminiscent of the Gen 1 pistols.
Optics Ready: The addition of the MOS system is a significant upgrade for competitive shooters. It allows for the easy mounting of popular red dot sights without the need for custom slide milling. This, combined with the long sight radius of the iron sights, gives shooters multiple options for fast and accurate target acquisition.
While the 17L excels in competition, its improvements also make it an excellent choice for home defense and even duty use where maximum accuracy at distance is desired. The longer slide adds weight up front, helping to reduce muzzle flip and allowing for faster follow-up shots. Additionally, the pistol's accessory rail is compatible with a variety of weaponlights, enhancing its versatility in low-light defensive or duty scenarios.
These Gen5 features combine to create a pistol with improved simplicity, reliability, and overall shooting experience.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
