The G17 RTF2 is the second pistol that GLOCK, Inc. has released with
the new rough textured frame and slide serration pattern. The newly designed
frame incorporates more than 4,000 raised pyramids on the front, rear and sides of the polymer receiver
and has a newly designed crescent shaped serration pattern located at the rear of the slide.
"Safe Action" System
The GLOCK pistol's Safe
Action trigger system offers you several very distinct benefits over
conventional trigger systems. First, you can choose from several trigger pulls.
Second, the trigger is the one and only operative control. Third, is the smooth
and consistent pull you feel every time you squeeze the trigger.
It makes training much easier because each and every shot feels exactly the
same. It also makes a firearm safe.
Three Safeties
GLOCK pistols have three
independent and automatic safeties. As the trigger is pulled they sequentially
disengage, and as the pistol fires and the trigger returns to its forward
position, they re-engage. The combination of the trigger safety, firing pin
safety and drop safety make the GLOCK the safest pistol on the market.
Simplicity
GLOCKs have about 50% fewer
components than conventional handguns of these calibers. The GLOCK 17, for
example, has only 33 parts. A couple of pins. No
screws. So there are fewer parts to break. And you can break down and reassemble
any GLOCK pistol with one simple tool. That's all there is to it.
High-Impact Resistant
Polymer
The frame on a GLOCK handgun
is made out of a synthetic that is actually stronger than steel, yet 86%
lighter. It's virtually indestructible. A GLOCK pistol can withstand
temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40 F) to +70°C (+158 F) and still come out
firing.
Tenifer Process
The metal components on a GLOCK
are practically indestructible. That's because they're finished with a unique
surface treatment called Tenifer that makes those parts virtually as hard as a
diamond. It is even more corrosion resistant than stainless steel.
Accuracy
GLOCK handguns are designed
with a grip angle that's so comfortable, so natural, it complements your
instinctive shooting abilities. This ergonomic design features a superb bore
axis and weight distribution to ensure a controlled shot, even under the most
adverse conditions. Plus, the special polymer frame, of which the grip is an
integral part, results in a much softer recoil than
that of conventional guns, which only adds to your control. The unique GLOCK
barrel features hammer-forged rifling for increased velocity and even greater
accuracy. With a GLOCK's consistent trigger pull and excellent point ability,
there's a very good chance you'll be hitting your targets for a long, long
time.
