About This Firearm
The Glock G47 Gen5 MOS is a full-size striker-fired 9mm built for duty carry. Glock developed it for United States Customs and Border Protection in 2019 and later released it to the commercial market. Its frame has a shortened dust cover, and Glock states the pistol offers the same reliability and performance as the G17 Gen5 MOS while keeping parts compatibility with it.
The box holds three magazines, a speed loader, a cleaning set, a backstrap set, a cable lock and a case. The slide is in MOS configuration, so a reflex sight mounts on the adapter plate for its footprint. The Gen5 frame takes beavertail backstraps worth 2 or 4 mm of circumference, the slide stop lever works from either side and the magazine catch reverses. The grip is full-size at 5.47 inches, the trigger pull is 5.8 lbs and there is no manual safety.
If you're cross-shopping, the Glock G17 Gen5 MOS matches the G47 on barrel length, overall length, width and grip height, and the shortened dust cover is the one visible difference between them. The Glock G45 Gen5 MOS runs a shorter 4.02-inch barrel inside 7.44 inches and weighs 24.52 oz against the G47's 25.93 oz, so it clears a duty holster sooner. Across the three, the G47 is the long-slide build that still shares parts with the others.

Strengths & Limitations
- Glock lists parts compatibility with the G17, G19 and G45 Gen5 MOS pistols, so one spares bin covers a mixed fleet.
- The ambidextrous slide stop and reversible magazine catch make it issuable to a left-handed officer with no parts change.
- The MOS cut uses one plate per footprint, so an agency can change optic brands without changing slides.
- The dust cover is shorter than the G17's, so a G17 holster is worth trying before it is bought.
- It is 1.41 oz heavier than the G45 MOS with empty magazines, which shows up over a shift.
- A lighter trigger than the standard Gen5 pull means aftermarket parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the G47 exist alongside the G17?
Glock developed it for United States Customs and Border Protection in 2019, with the same reliability and performance as the G17 Gen5 MOS and a shortened dust cover, and now sells it commercially.
Do G17 magazines work in it?
Yes. The standard capacity is the same 17 rounds and Glock lists the G47 as parts compatible with the G17 Gen5 MOS, so the same double-stack magazines feed it.
What does the Safe Action system do without a manual safety?
Three automatic, independently operating mechanical safeties sit inside the fire control system. They release in sequence as the trigger travels and reset when it returns, which is why there is no lever to sweep on the draw.
