#Glock 17 gen 5 vs glock 17 gen 5 mos mod#

Personally, I carry a Glock 26 ( another 1/2 inch shorter in the barrel and 1/2 inch shorter in grip length than a 19) that only comes with 10 round magazines. Maybe someone from Canada can chip in on that and explain further.

This is a popular mod for people who like to conceal carry, and I am told it is particularly popular in Canada, where they are limited to 10 round magazines and compact pistols for carrying are difficult to obtain.

Glocks are the only handgun designed and tested to function in, around, and even UNDER water and there is even a firing pin bushing specifically made to allow water to pass around it for 100% reliability when submerged(probably very important to Naval Commandos).

As a GLOCK owner, we want to make sure you have all the tools to protect your GLOCK pistol, and get the most out of it.

To your question, I can only assume that the SEALs decided that since there was really no accuracy or reliability difference, the extra length, weight, and bulk of a Glock 17 was not worth the extra two rounds of mag capacity.
