In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the customizations some Glock users have been making to their firearms, particularly focusing on shortening the grip of a Glock 17 for better concealment. He mentions that while the longer barrel and slide of a Glock 17 are often desired, the large grip can make concealed carrying difficult as it tends to print through clothing. To address this, people have been altering their Glock 17s by cutting down the grip to match that of a Glock 19, which accepts a shorter magazine. This customization has become somewhat common despite Glock not originally offering such a model. However, with the introduction of the Glock 47 in Gen 5 models, Glock has created a more modular system that allows for easy interchangeability of parts like slides and frames, catering to the needs of agencies like the Border Patrol that requested such flexibility.
