The polymer frame, in tungsten gray, creates an interesting contrast with the black slide and operating elements. This makes the GLOCK 17 Gen5 a highlight for its looks alone.

In plinking the CO₂-operated airgun version of the GLOCK 17 Gen5 is notable for its similarity to the original. The Gen5-typical features include front serrations, a Weaver rail and a trigger safety. The heavy metal slide and powerful blowback provide an authentic shooting experience. Every shot fired from the 18-round all-in-one magazine produces a convincing recoil. The precise dimensions and realistic weight ensure perfect handling and full compatibility with standard accessories like holsters. There is also an additional sliding safety.
