Taran Tactical G17 Copperhead

The Copperhead is one of Taran Tactical Innovations' signature Glock builds. TTI starts with a Glock 17 Gen 3 and turns it into a finished competition-style package, with a bronze two-tone look that gives the build its name.

The slide gets most of the attention. TTI finishes it in a Copperhead Bronze two-tone with high polish, then cuts it ultra low for a Trijicon RMR or SRO. The frame gets custom laser and hand stippling with the TTI logo, a single undercut, a grip reduction and a scalloped magazine release cut. The barrel is black.

The trigger is a Timney Alpha Competition unit with a black shoe and a bronze safety. A 15-pound captured guide rod sits under the slide, and TTI adds its bronze carry magwell and a carbon fiber striker cover plate.

For sighting, the package includes a Trijicon RMR with a 3.25 MOA dot, plus TTI green fiber optic sights. TTI also includes three magazines with Copperhead bronze base pads. Two are extended by six rounds to 23, and one is extended by four to 21.

Everything comes in a custom TTI x Savior pistol bag. Lead time is two to three months, since each package is built rather than pulled from stock.

If you like Glocks but want one that looks and runs like a custom race gun, the Copperhead is a complete package with nothing left to add. You open the bag, zero the optic and head to the range, which is exactly how a custom package should work.
