Build or upgrade your Glock with the Glock 17 Gen 5 BFG OEM Frame — a full-size, factory polymer frame finished in Glock’s distinctive Battlefield Green (BFG) color.

Product Description | Specs for Glock 17 Gen 5 BFG OEM Frame

Glock molds this frame from a rugged polymer blend and finishes it in the factory Battlefield Green color, giving it a durable, distinctive appearance that stands apart from standard black frames. Engineers removed the finger grooves found on earlier generations for a cleaner, more versatile grip, and they added a flared magazine well with a front-frame cutout to speed up reloads.

Compatibility

It does not accept Gen 3 or Gen 4 slides without modification, since Glock changed the rail geometry and barrel specifications for Gen 5. Pair this frame with a Glock 17 Gen 5 slide assembly for a complete, factory-spec pistol build.

FAQs

Q: What does “BFG” stand for? A: BFG stands for Battlefield Green — Glock’s factory frame color option, distinct from other finishes like OD Green.

Q: Does this frame accept Gen 3 or Gen 4 slides? A: No. Glock changed the rail geometry and barrel specifications for Gen 5, so earlier-generation slides won’t fit this frame without modification.

Q: Can I adjust the grip size on this frame? A: Yes. Glock includes small, medium, and large interchangeable backstraps so you can customize the grip circumference to your hand.

Q: Does the complete frame include the trigger mechanism? A: Yes. The complete version ships with the trigger mechanism housing, trigger bar, and all internal fire control components pre-installed.
