LaserMax Guide Rod Laser — Red | Fits Glock Gen5 17 / 17MOS / 34MOS | Model LMS-G5-17 (LMSG517) | UPC: 798816543773
Upgrade your Glock Gen5 pistol with a clean, factory-style aiming solution: the LaserMax LMS-G5-17 Red Guide Rod Laser (LMSG517). Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the factory guide rod/recoil assembly, this internalized red laser delivers low-profile aiming for concealed carry, duty use, and training — all without changing your grip, holster fit, or optic/bore relationship. If you want a reliable, snag-free laser that keeps your pistol’s outward appearance stock while adding fast, intuitive aiming, the LMS-G5-17 is built for that purpose.
Built for Concealment & Reliability
The LaserMax guide rod laser replaces the factory guide rod and houses the emitter inside the recoil assembly. That internal placement protects the laser from impacts and snags and preserves holster compatibility — a major advantage over external housings. The red laser provides a clear aiming point in low-light and indoor environments, making it an ideal choice for self-defense, training, or low-light target acquisition.
