        By The Numbers

        Accuracy
        The Glock G17 is about as accurate for a stock-duty-style firearm. It won’t shoot like a Czechmate but shoots pretty dang straight.

        FINAL VERDICT

        The great thing about Glocks is they follow a familiar design pattern. That means you can opt for a Glock 17 MOS for home defense and then step down to a Glock 17 or 43x for concealed carry. There's a lot of value in keeping things consistent. The G17 MOS helps you accomplish that while also adding in red dot capabilities.

        The G17 is a staple, and being the biggest, has the best ergonomics for my hands. It's super reliable, and pretty accurate.

        Can’t go wrong with Glock! The G17 MOS is extremely modular, and you can customize it in any way you’d like with a huge array of aftermarket options.

        This is my home defense pistol and I like it!

        Reliability
        The Glock G17 doesn’t fail. It doesn’t give up and will eat whatever you put through it.
        Customization
        It’s the AR-15 of handguns. You can toss on whatever accessories you want and customize the optic from the ground up.
        Ergonomics
        The slide bite, the small slide lock, and the blade-like trigger are downsides of a solid gun.
