The Glock 17 Gen4 9mm in a black DLC finish with scroll engraving is the full-size Glock 17 dressed up with a custom look (part no. 80577). Glock built the Gen4 with a modular backstrap system so the grip can be fitted to different hand sizes, plus a rough textured frame and a dual recoil spring assembly that cuts wear on the system. A reversible, enlarged magazine catch can be switched for left-handed or right-handed shooters. Underneath the engraving it is the same duty-proven pistol with a 4.49-inch barrel and a standard 17-round magazine.
