Check out the website. They are all on there but I'll see if I can find a picture/chart

26 is a 9mm subcompact

The glocks numbered greater than 15 and less than 39 have been recalled because they tend to go kaboom.

Gen 4:

Nope. G26 is the subcompact 9mm.

I'll let you look up the models, you can go to Glock.com for a full list.

The basic breakdown of the big 3 calibers is 9mm= 17, 19, 26, 34.
.45acp= 21, 30, 36, .40sw= 22, 23, 27, 35.

Gens break down like this:
first gen, had no rail, no finger grooves and a weird texture.
2nd gen changed the grip texture.
3rd gen changed the texture and added the rails and finger grooves.
4th gen changed texture again, changed the recoil spring to a double spring system, and added a changeable backstrap.


ETA, Jesus! 6 posts while I was typing? I typed that all out and jtgarner just broke out the pics. I suck.

The Glock 1911 is perfectly safe though, please don't scare the little fella man.

Thats also photoshopped.

Check out the link I posted (and I think shooter did too while I was typing) and the description below my second post here and that will answer all your questions. If you have any more, post em up, INGO is usually pretty good at getting you answers (as long as you can find them on google )

Poppycock! It LOOKS like a witch...

She turned me into a newt... I got betta

Anyways, my link didn't work how I wanted it to so here are the models broken down for you:

Edit: There is also a LONG slide 9mm and .40 called the 17L and the 24 (respectively).

Edit again: Here is a picture showing all the different sizes of the 9mm (and .40) guns together (all Gen 3)
(top to bottom G17L, G34, G19, G17, G26)

There was a brief time before the full blown gen three that they made finger grooves and no rail on some full size guns. We'll call it 2A gen. I know for sure that the glock 21 was one of them because I used to own one. Sadly I didn't take any pics of this mysterious creature.

I've heard it called gen 2.5

FDE = Flat Dark Earth.

 

[Jtgarner]

I thought the pistols I posted were actually called OD or Olive Drab by glock. The OD/FDE has been discontinued by Glock, but you can still find them in many gun stores as they try to get rid of what they have. Even though I think it is called OD, I think they look more FDE than OD.

 

[hootenholler]

i like the od green....or whatever it is
