Glock Generation?

[wizdoc2006]

How do you tell what Generation Glock you have? Is it in the serial #?

That's one way. There are cosmetic differences as well. A quick Google search will give you a more detailed explanation.

The short of it.. Gen 1 & 2 don't have finger grooves. Gen 3 has finger grooves. Gen 4 has changeable backstraps and a different guide rod/recoil spring (and has a unique slide, also marked 'Gen4').

Gen 1 vs 2? I think the grip texture is different.

There's also a Gen 2.5, which is only on some models of guns, they feature finger grooves IIRC.

Here this should help:

Glock frame identification, or, "What generation is my Glock?"

For MA only:
Gen 1 = Over priced
Gen 2 = Way overpriced

You mean $1200 for a gen 4 is too much?

It's pretty much the younger generation that buys Glocks, instead of real guns.

For MA only:
Gen 1 = Brick
Gen 2 = Only if it was in the state pre-98
Gen 3 = It's on "The List™" BUT IT'S ILLEGAL TO THE MAX
Gen 4 = Jesus **** man I SAID they're illegal!

FIFY: Martha's guide to Glocks.

Well, Gen 4 18C's are around $600, so yes.

I love Glocks! They are real guns, we glock lovers don't rag on your heavy pieces of metal revolvers and stuff.

If you can't find the right information online, you can also call Glock directly and they can get a tech to tell you what year it is.
