Can someone explain the glock numbers

[Ipaman]

Is there anyone on here that can explain all the different glock numbers and what they mean or what guns they are? I am interested in looking at a used flack but I have no idea what model is what.

Thanks

Possibly there is no logic to their numbering system.  As long as they work, I don't care.

The chart Bud linked to is out of date. You can always get it directly from Glock's site.

The numbering is just sequential. There's no connection at all between the numbering and the caliber or frame size. It's about when they were released.

G17 was the 17th design by Gaston and the first one actually produced outside the test lab. G18 was next (full auto version of a 17) followed by the smaller G19, then he branched out to 10mm and the next number up was 20, so it was the G20. Repeat ad nauseum until you get to where we are today with a Competition-sized .45 ACP (G41), a pocket .380 ACP (G42) and the single-stack small 9mm (G43) and you see that there's no connection.

 

Look at them long enough and you'll memorize a few of them, but only a die hard fan would know them all.

 If I do this right, here's a cheat sheet for the different generations.

The model numbers make perfect sense if you know how they arrive at them. Each model number is the number of times you have to tell yourself the gun isn't ugly before you start to believe it. :rofl:

If you think Glock model numbers are difficult, try figuring out Smith & Wessons

17, 19 and 20 are really the only ones you need to know. [emoji1]
