Glock 47 A Look Into An Amazing Firearm

Everyone that knows me, knows I’m a Glock #1 firearms owner and shooter. I’ve owned my Glock 19 Gen3 for 30 plus years and have fired approx. 30K rounds through my gun, says FFL, Firearms Instructor, First Aid Instructor and Gunsmith Gregg Kielma.

My gun has never failed me. Not one jam or malfunction. It’s the most reliable gun I sell and recommend to my customers based on my experience with every Glock I own. 

As a gunsmith I have had opportunities to disassemble this gun, and I’m amazed at the craftsmanship in every part. Are there people that don’t like Glock? Sure, but for me the Glock firearms are superior in reliability when you need it most. 

Are there guns that are good? Sure, there are, one of the guns I’m really starting to like is the Girsan. Another very accurate gun out of the box. Well made and affordable. As for longevity, don’t know. I now have run 2K rounds through it and has never malfunctioned, not a single issue. I recommend this gun as well, says Kielma.

 

The Glock 47 is the newest addition to their already legendary line of handguns. Developed initially for the United States Customs and Border Protection, this pistol is now available to the general public. This 9mm Pistol has gained publicity for its modularity, reliability, and compatibility with other Glock models, making it a great weapon for any law enforcement agency or civilian firearm owner.

The Glock 47 MOS is a modular design that allows for the most interchangeability of any parts among the Gen 5 series. It has a full-size frame that is lightweight but strong and made from black polymer. It is ergonomically made and shaped to fit perfectly in the palm of the user’s hand, with textured surfaces to prevent slipping during quick fire. This frame has a modular backstrap, making it more effective in terms of fitting to individual hand sizes.

The slide of the Glock 47 has forward slide serrations, which allow fast and efficient manipulation. It is also cut for a Modular Optic System and comes optics-ready to mount red dot sights, which is very important for quick target acquisitions. It has a 4.49-inch barrel, overall, that contributes to this pistol’s accuracy and is built to standard according to the Gen 5 series for its consistent performance and longevity.

The Glock 47 MOS will live up to the high standard of reliability and performance laid by the other models of the series. This semi-automatic, striker-fired pistol provides stable performance in the most challenging conditions. Due to its enhanced barrel design and more stable recoil management, this pistol will give accurate shots at all times, users reported. This pistol will be compatible with 9mm Luger ammo for well-balanced shooting, hence allowing less recoil and more precision. 

The Glock 47 has a 17+1 capacity—the same as the Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS. This high-capacity magazine is quite helpful in use by law enforcement and professionals who need that many rounds without frequent reloading. The magazines are of the same style as other Gen 5 Glock magazines, such as the Glock 19 and Glock 45; thus, they will work in all similar Glock pistols.

Equally exciting is the modularity of the Glock 47. The frame will accept a Glock 19 slide, and a Glock 47’s slide will fit onto a Glock 19 frame. At this level of modularity, users can mix and match parts to create their perfect firearms. The Glock 47 also sports a feature of the Glock Modular Optic System. This feature adds milling to the slide to support adapter plates for use with most micro red-dot sights currently available on the market.

The Glock 47 was developed in the late 2010s as part of an $85 million contract with CBP to replace the H&K P2000. It combined features from several of Glock’s most-used pistols, including the Glock 17, Glock 19, and Glock 45. The Glock 47 uses a 4.5-inch barrel, the same length found on the original Glock 17, allowing more accuracy.

Over the years, Glock pistols have undergone a progression of evolution, and each evolution was denoted as a “generation.” The Glock 47 represents the fifth generation and features several refinements that include an ambidextrous slide release, a flared magazine well for easier reloads, and the marksman barrel for improved accuracy with a wider variety of ammunition.

The Glock 47 is a natural progression for the modern handgun, joining some of the very finest elements of the predecessors with innovations that are new. With modularity, reliability, and performance, the Glock 47 clearly sets it apart as a top choice for professional and civilian users. Be you law enforcement or simply a firearm enthusiast, the Glock 47 offers versatility and dependability that surely will answer your every need.
