The Glock 17 allows easy customization to its grip by using the different back straps. A flared magwell and a cutout at the front of the frame give the user more speed during reloading. A reversible enlarged magazine catch, changeable at user level as well as the ambidextrous slide stop lever accommodate left and right-handed operators. The rifling and the crown of the barrel were slightly modified for increased precision.
