Can someone tell me if the Gen 5 G17 OEM Extended slide release is the same as the prior generations? Also the has the slide take down lever changed?

The Gen5 slide stop levers are completely different from the previous Gens and I'm not aware of an extended slide stop lever for the Gen5 being available at this time.

The slide lock (release) is also a different part number for the Gen5 vs previous Gens.

This Scootch00 video shows the Gen5 parts compared with the Gen4

Not for sale or distribution. But you may be able to get one at the plant in GA. Yes the slide lock is a different part.

Is the part number 33797 as shown on the document or 33600 as stamped on the part? I’m sure they will be available from the usual sources at some point.

 

[BROvet04]

33797 I’ve tried to order them before by calling Glock. I’m a armorer.

 

[heavyduty]

Thanks. I assume they told you to pound Georgia clay?

Great info, where did that come from?

 

[BROvet04]

I’ll tell you that if you go to the factory you may be able to talk one of the Armorers there into giving you one in exchange for the standard one. You will then get a sheet like that. Tell them your left handed with short thumbs and really need it. Lol. It’s release day for the G34 Gen5. They come stock with them. Maybe they will start selling them now?

 

[BROvet04]

You know I don’t understand why glock hordes them. They sell them on the 34 Gen5 and also on the M model. It’s completely stupid! Anyone wanna try to swap another regular one for me at Glock inc?

 

[heavyduty]

I would just be patient - I’d be very surprised if they don’t start showing up at the usual places before too long.

 

[BROvet04]

Lol I know damn, patience!

 

[heavyduty]

I’m looking for one, too - just in case I buy a Gen5!

 

[BROvet04]

The way they do things is strange at Glock inc.

 

[BROvet04]

Got a 34.5 and did some swapping of parts! For envy’s sake look at my pistols! Think I’m keeping the newer frame on my older Gen5 17 slide. The bevel looks way better. Not noticeable really on the 34.5.

 

[BROvet04]

They are available for certified Armorers to order. There is a unlisted parts order form. It can be obtained by calling the factory. Only Armorers can order it now.

 

[heavyduty]

Are they starting to come through yet? Has anyone been able to get a 33797 from Glock as a part? My local armorer has 25 on order, but no joy yet.
