    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Superior Out-of-the-Box Ergonomics</td>
        <td>The Gen 6 addresses long-standing user feedback by providing a more natural, contoured, and high-grip feel directly from the factory. This reduces or eliminates the need for common aftermarket modifications like grip stippling or trigger guard undercuts[citation:2][citation:3].</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Modernized for Optics</td>
        <td>The new Optic Ready System is simpler and more integrated than previous MOS systems. The direct-mount design with polymer plates aims for better durability and a lower height-over-bore, leading to faster target acquisition and a more modern shooting experience[citation:2][citation:3][citation:6].</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Enhanced Shootability &amp; Control</td>
        <td>The combination of the improved grip texture, thumb rests, higher grip, and redesigned frame gives shooters more positive control over the pistol. This is reported to enable faster, more accurate follow-up shots and better recoil management, especially during rapid fire[citation:2][citation:3].</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Maintains Core Glock Reliability</td>
        <td>While introducing significant ergonomic upgrades, the Gen 6 maintains the legendary reliability, simple operation, and easy maintenance that Glock is known for. It represents an evolution, not a revolution, of a proven platform[citation:1][citation:2][citation:5].</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Strong Aftermarket &amp; Holster Compatibility</td>
        <td>Despite the changes, the Gen 6 is reported to fit many holsters designed for the Gen 5[citation:5]. Furthermore, the vast Glock aftermarket for triggers, sights, and accessories is expected to quickly support the new generation[citation:2].</td>

</div>
<div class="benefit-highlight">
    <strong>Modular Heritage:</strong> Reviewers note the Gen 6 G17 shares design architecture with the modular Glock 47, featuring a shorter dust cover and compatibility with compact slides like the G19 Gen 6[citation:3].
</div>
<div class="benefit-highlight">
    <strong>A Thoughtful Evolution:</strong> Expert reviews consistently describe the Gen 6 as a meaningful, deliberate step forward. It modernizes the feel and capabilities of the platform while respecting its reliable core, making it a compelling update for both new and experienced shooters[citation:2][citation:3][citation:5].
