Summary

Description
English: Pictured is the GLOCK 17 Gen 4 pistol.

In 2013 the British Ministry of Defence signed a £9-million-pound contract to provide the Armed Forces with more than 25,000 new Glock side arms.

The Glock 17 Generation 4 pistol is not only much lighter than the Browning L9A1 pistol previously used by the UK military, it is also more accurate and its magazine holds 17 (9mm ) rounds compared to 13 rounds for the Browning.
