Owners of the G17 V appreciate the factory upgrades Glock built into this version rather than leaving them as aftermarket additions. The flared magwell and front serrations in particular get consistent praise from shooters who run the gun in competition or training contexts.

The Glock Marksman Barrel is a point of genuine enthusiasm among owners who shoot for accuracy. Most report tighter groups compared to older G17 generations, though a minority feel the improvement over the standard barrel is incremental rather than transformative.

The ambidextrous slide release is a welcome addition for left-handed shooters and gets little complaint from right-handed users. The Safe-Action trigger remains the most common topic of debate, with newer shooters generally satisfied and more experienced trigger-focused shooters looking at aftermarket connectors almost immediately.
