(ie: first three letters) It is a late Gen 2, or Gen 3 period. With the Prefix of the serial number we can get a timeframe when it was produced. As fas as Gen 1 glocks, the only Gen 1's are early model 17's. The 3rd Gen glocks started coming out in 1998. The Glock 27 came out before that date in small numbers.

There are actually a very small few of Gen 1 G19s as well.
