I’m no Glock expert but something sounds backwards to me.

Isn’t the 17 the ‘full size’ 9mm and the 19 the ‘compact short slide & shorted, reduced capacity handgrip’ model??

Therefore wouldn’t this be a 17 frame with a 19 slide and not the other way around as described in the article?

Correct. The article starts off describing the wrong configuration and then corrects it in the body.

The advantage being larger capacity with a shorter barrel to make clearing body armor easier.

I AM a Glock fan and all I want to see them make next is a 9mm carbine. For twenty years of wanting and waiting and every ShotShow we are denied. Some day.
