No. It is Glock's way of meeting requirements of a solicitation trial in which P320 also competed but didn't get selected.

Ok, thanks for the info. Don't carry any more but that's why I carried a 19. Smaller when sitting down.

My G47 has been solid to date. Should it be replacing the Gen5 G17 MOS? Who knows...

from my understanding is they made the 17 and 19 the same just pick your grip.

That said im thinking of getting a g17.5 in the next couple weeks to go with my 19.4 and 19.5

The 47 was spec’d to use the same recoil spring as the 19 to meet a certain number of common parts between them.

Has nothing to do with swapping slides and grips.

Who did something similar? The only thing(s) coming to mind is the Colt Commander top on an Officer ACP frame that I think has come and gone a few times since introduction around 20 years ago. Not super expensive, but above the cost range of similar purpose pistols. I believe Wilson Combat and some other custom shops have done kinda production/kinda custom models of 4" to 4-1/4" uppers on compact frames at even higher prices.

Other than that, I recall some shops like Behlert/Leckie doing that to Hi Powers and a few other models, but really only recall production pistols going the shorter top end on a full size frame route.
