I ordered a glock gen 5 model 17 with mos and amglo sights many moons ago. A Glock 47 gen 5 mos , amglo sights shows up in its place. I believe the 17 is being replaced with the 47. To be honest, I am glad I took it in its place, its the minor upgrades that sweeten the whole package and quiet honestly, I couldn't be happier. Pics of this pretty girl later when I get home.

Correct. The G17MOS Gen 5 is no more (unless you are a police agency that supplies them as a Duty Gun).

The G47 MOS and G45 MOS has taken their place for all new sales.

You may still see G17 MOS Gen 4s being made due to the California laws requiring any pistols sold there to be on an existing list.

Congrats on the new gun. They are nice.

Will the shorter dust cover on the bottom affect the mounting of different things like lights etc? Thanks

Flared magwell is a nice touch. The amglo sight for me is nice .

Nope. It’s the same size as a G19 dustcover. Everything will fit from an X300U to a TLR7a.

All of the gen 5 guns have that. A few companies make aftermarket magwells if you want someone more substantial. I like the Ed Sherman offering, personally.

As to the irons - I was pleasantly surprised Glock started offering those as a factory option. The Ameriglo Spartan Operator sights (which are basically what these are) are my preferred option for an Iron sighted gun.

I think the amglo sight or any other easy to acquire sight is vital in a SHTF situation especially for the compact or micro handguns, at that time its just a point and shoot once you acquire that front sight. JMHO. I will look at the sight you recommended, I want all the split second advantages on my side.  IN a stressful situation, you or them. you gotta find that front sight quick.

ON another note, what do you like for concealed carry for this mother?

What ever you feel comfortable with and shoot well.  My wife shots my ruger lc well but recently shot my sister glock 43x and absolutely loves it so I'm sure that's in my future for her

I have like 7 Glocks, and don’t need another gun, but damn, that’s nice!

The sights I recommended is basically the sights you have. I am glad Glock offered them as a factory choice.

Holster?

Whats your preferred carry? IWB? OWB? AIWB?

@70gto just saw your PM. Standby

 Yes I meant holster. This would obviously be a winter carry, big jacket etc. but whatever has reasonable retention , fast and does not exaggerate the print of the gun.

What method of carry and do you require retention?

For hip carry IWB or OWB without active retention - JM Custom Kydex is the answer.

If you need retention, Safariland ALS.

For AIWB - Tenicor is my go-to.

Friction retention is fine I like to carry in front off center as close to right side hip as possible wo printing the gun,. I forgot what thats called. 

Nice.  Taking a page off the G48 with the cut down front of the frame - I like the look.

This frame is able to swap in a g19 upper direct fit. its meant to do that, thus creating a glock 45
