💬 Why We Like It:

The VFC/Umarex Glock 17 Gen5 MOS GBB takes everything players appreciate from the Gen5 Glock platform and adds modern optic compatibility. The MOS slide comes ready for most major red-dot footprints out of the box, while the updated front serrations, revised grip shape, and widened magwell make manipulation noticeably smoother.

VFC’s “Guide-HOP” system is one of the standout features — hop-up adjustment is fast, front-accessible, and doesn’t require slide removal. Combined with a blacked-out alloy inner barrel, steel slide-stop levers, and improved recoil impulse, this pistol feels both refined and combat-ready.

For players who want a full-size Glock that’s licensed, optic-ready, Gen5-accurate, and skirmish-capable, the G17 Gen5 MOS GBB is one of the most complete packages available today.
