I kinda like the idea.

G48 called and asked why everyone was bitching about its G43 recoil assembly.
Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
Slight thread drift, but are G47s experiencing similar issues to G48s due to the downsized RSA?
Will the Glock 50 be a single stack .45?
I wonder when these are releasing. Kinda regret ordering a 19 MOS now.. it would be far more efficient to own a G45 and then this.
So, if I wanted to “try it before I buy it” could I pop my G17.5 top end on my G19.5 frame and shoot it some? I realize there would be a gap in front of the dustcover, but firing it in that configuration wouldn’t actually hurt anything right?
The G47 is generally only in DHS hands, and I'm not privy to their data, but I don't think what you describe is likely. The G48 uses a G43/43x recoil assembly, which is so short that its window of operation (margins for error) with 9mm is very narrow, hence the "issues." The G47 uses a G19 recoil assembly, which is....well vetted. The theory of short recoil assemblies for overall slide length is well tested in the G34/35/17L family with good success, it's just the super short slimline assembly required some compromises to make it fit the physical space available.
Anything I post is my opinion alone as a private citizen.
I was told not to, as although the G5 has standardized locking blocks, the 17.5 has longer forward frame rails that will bottom out in the 19.5 slide. Allegedly you can dremel the 17.5 frame rails to 19 length, but I've not seen first person evidence that it actually works.
