The Franklin Armory G-S173 Binary Slide Kit (brand part no. 17-50000-BLK) brings Franklin Armory’s Binary Firing System to the Glock 17 Gen 3, replacing the factory slide with a complete binary slide assembly built to fire one round on the trigger pull and a second round on the trigger’s release. It’s a slide-and-internals kit only, so it drops onto an existing Glock 17 Gen 3 frame rather than including a frame or receiver of its own. For shooters who already run a Glock 17 Gen 3 as a duty, competition, or range gun, the G-S173 is a direct way to add Franklin Armory’s binary function without sourcing a separate host firearm.
