This being an MOS, will the placement of the dovetail cause an issue with adjustable rear sights designed for the older G17Ls? I’m assuming there might be some rear overhang with Dawsons, for example.

Are there any good adjustable sights that don't hang off the back of a MOS Glock? Or is there an MOS plate with a dovetail that could be used? If so, it might be the push I "need" to get one of these.
I've only used Dawson adjustable rears, they would definitely overhang on an MOS.
Oddly enough I see this as a cool small/medium game hunting handgun. If I still lived in Arizona this would be fun to go after javelina with.

Subsequently, I found it was just a really mild shooting, fun target pistol. It's my go to range gun, and if theres ever a situation where its appropriate to have an OWB sidearm, it would be what I'd carry for that.

A list of velocities I've catalogued from various 17L reviews over they years. It basically turns normal 9mm into +P, +P 9mm into +p+, and +p+ loads into .357 SIG zone.
Gold Dot 124gr +p 1338fps, 1324fps
Gold Dot 124gr standard 1180fps
Federal HST 124gr 1198fps, 1208fps
Black Hills 124gr +P 1301fps
Corbon 115gr +P 1502fps , 1533fps
Corbon 124gr +P 1386fps
Super Vel 115gr +P 1343fps
Super Vel 90gr +P 1632fps
Federal 115gr 1292fps
Federal HST 147gr 1123fps
Federal HST 147gr new 2022 1040fps
Fiochi 115gr FMJ 9AP 1350fps
Hornady Custom 147 XTP 1047fps
Underwood 115gr +p+ (lone wolf barrel) 1600fps
Glock 43 vs G19 vs G34 velocities; 17L then adds fps onto whatever you see here with the G34.
Are Pf members REALLY questioning the actual viability/useability of a firearm? Are you fracking kidding me? It's fun and looks cool. The Gen 2 and Gen3 G17Ls I've shot are awesome and I wish I had one. Maybe I will get one of these.

I wonder if these will have the "speed hole" in the top of the slide or if the'll be like the Gen 5 G34's?
I have* a similar G17L SBR in a USW-G17 chassis. After shooting it for awhile, IMO stocked pistols are dumb. Either get a slightly larger MP5K/TP9-sized PCC and improve the shootability a whole lot, or leave the gun as a pistol and improve the carry-ability. But it's right in the middle and gets the bad characteristics of both.
