Glock 17L Gen 3 9mm Long-Slide Competition Pistol – Custom Grip Tape, Extended Mag Release, Flared Magwell
The Glock 17L Gen 3 is a rare, discontinued long-slide variant built for competition accuracy. This Austrian-made example pairs the 6.02-inch barrel and factory lightening-window slide with tasteful performance upgrades, including aggressive grip tape, a red anodized extended magazine release, and an aftermarket flared magwell. Matching serial numbers on the barrel, slide, and frame confirm factory integrity, while the Tenifer-treated carbon-steel components and glass-fiber-reinforced polymer frame provide the durability Glock is known for.

This 17L features the original 6.02-inch carbon-steel barrel and extended slide, lengthening the sight radius to 8.27 inches for improved precision. Factory adjustable polymer sights with a white-dot front and white-outline rear allow quick windage and elevation tweaks at the range.
The Gen 3 Safe-Action striker-fired mechanism delivers Glock’s familiar trigger feel, here with a serrated face for consistent finger placement. Austrian proof marks and U.S. import markings remain clear on the matte-black Tenifer slide.
Performance-oriented upgrades set this pistol apart. The professionally applied aggressive grip tape locks the hand in place, while the red anodized extended magazine release speeds reloads without altering factory geometry. A flared magwell funnel further guides magazines—flush 17-round or extended 21-round—into the double-stack frame.
Discontinued around 2014, the 17L enjoys limited availability, making clean, lightly customized examples like this increasingly desirable to shooters and collectors who appreciate the classic Gen 3 feel paired with competition-ready dimensions.
