glock 43x magazine 30 round

Glock 43x Magazine 30 Round - Tyrant Designs is an American manufacturer of high quality CNC machined AR-15's and gun upgrades and accessories. They recently sent me a pair of their Glock 43X with 48 +4 magazine extensions. When it comes to magazine extensions, the deciding vote on whether they are quality extensions usually comes down to how effective they are with the gun. In addition to this benchmark, I will also discuss how they change the carry experience compared to standard capacity magazines.

My initial impression of the magazine's expansion can be summed up in one word - accurate. As a former machinist, I can see the quality CNC machining of these parts. Although the magazine wells seem to have a lot of sharp edges, they are notched to a comfortable angle to prevent any kind of probing or scratching when handling or holstering.

Glock 43x Magazine 30 Round

The aluminum is well made and resistant to general abrasion and scratching, but will come off if you try hard enough - by no means invulnerable, but good enough that you won't wear down the surface with normal use.

Comparing The Glock 43 Vs. 43x

For looks, I'd give them a solid 9/10 - they look great paired with the original two-tone finish on the Glock 43X and Glock 48 I own. The magazine is flush with the size of the grip and only extends downward, adding to the overall height of the firearm in this configuration. As for the other colors, I wish it looked a little more quirky, but the black and silver tyrant gave me a great looking gun.

This is the most frustrating part of giving a magazine extension to a Glock pistol. With most pistol magazines, all you have to do is press a button on the bottom of the magazine and slide the bottom plate. For Glock magazines, there are two small tabs on the left and right sides of the magazine body that retract into the bedplate, and in addition to the button on the bottom that pushes the spring seat up, the bedplate must be pressed down.

There are tools to do this, but I resorted to using a pair of channel locks to hold the sides. Even with a channel lock, it takes a lot of force to overcome engaging the tiny locking tab to remove the original bottom plate.

With the original bottom plate removed, installing the Tyrant Designs extensions was easy: just slide the follower from the old spring onto the extension, insert the spring and follower, and cap it with the magazine extension.

How Many Rounds Does A Glock Hold?

The Tyrant makes removal easy, with a small, permanent stop at the back of the extension that can be pressed in by pressing down firmly on an empty housing or other solid object - no chute lock required.

The magazine extension works as advertised. I had a little trouble loading these up to round 14. With a little practice, it's not a problem, but the last round definitely takes a lot of pressure to get in there. Even with added pressure, the magazine can be inserted with the slide closed, but the magazine will not fall freely when filled.

I did some testing to see how the magazine would perform with the gun in working order. When fully loaded, the magazine is difficult to seat and does not fall freely. However, it seems you can keep the magazine full for up to 12 rounds and still have it fall out of the gun. If there are more magazines than that, the magazines tend to jam in the magazine. This seems to be a Glock mag issue, combined with the extra spring pressure causing a bulge near the bottom of the OEM Glock mag.

When fully loaded, the sides of the magazine protrude enough to secure the magazine in the gun. This may be a problem for some, but to me it seems like a minor inconvenience as I don't see myself dropping a fully loaded magazine. In normal use, the spring provides enough pressure to properly feed the gun and lock the slide on the last round. Once the magazine is empty, the magazine will drop normally - maybe even a bit faster than the original magazine due to the added weight of the insert.

One thing I noticed is that the extension on the firearm prevents you from getting your palm caught between the magazine hole and the magazine bed when reloading. Overall, I find it easier to handle magazines with extensions attached to them.

The biggest damage to magazine extensions is in the stealth department. When loaded into the Glock 48, the overall height of the gun increases by nearly 2 inches. Gun height is often the hardest part to hide because it contrasts with your naturally oval waist. When hidden under the regular shirts I wear, they create a more prominent print, which is not ideal.

Just recently, TFBTV's James Reeves gave us a scientific ranking of the effectiveness of concealed carry handguns. The efficiency score works as follows:

Calculated from the product of the number of revolutions per square inch and the number of revolutions per ounce. It doesn't take into account the overall length of the gun, but it does its effectiveness. A lighter gun with a thin/short frame and higher capacity will do well here. The higher the score the better.

Round Mag For My Baby 43x. Or As I Like To Call It: 43x Tendo.

The Glock 48 typically has an efficiency rating of 0.79 and has a 10-round magazine capacity. As the magazine expands, the efficiency score drops to 0.76, which doesn't drop much. This puts the Glock 48 in line with firearms such as the SIG Sauer P228, Glock 26 Gen 3 and the compact SIG Sauer P320. The main factor that contributed to the drop in score was the increase in altitude.

Subjectively, I think if I were to carry these mag inserts, I would put them in a pocket or mag holster, as this would reduce the negative effect they would have on concealment when inserted into the firearm. Of course, you can beat that efficiency score by adding massive magazine extensions, but ultimately that defeats the purpose of a concealed carry handgun—basically cheating the system.

I think the Tyrant Designs +4 mag extender is a great addition to your Glock 43X or Glock 48 for everyday shooting or as a spare mag extender. They don't add much weight, and they do provide extra grip space for those with extra large hands.

I probably don't carry these as part of my EDC kit, but I do take them to the range and pack them at home. The method I use for carry doesn't lend itself to a larger grip than the Glock 48 already has. It's always a good idea to have extra larger capacity magazines on hand, and I think keeping them at home or as extra magazines in the car or with you is the best way to carry them.

glock 43x magazine

Glock 43x Magazine - Tyrant Design is a manufacturer of high quality USA Made CNC machined AR-15 and handgun upgrades and accessories. They recently sent me a pair of Glock 43X & 48 +4 Magazine extensions. When it comes to magazine extensions, the decision on whether or not they are quality extensions usually comes down to how well they work with the gun. In addition to these metrics, I will also look at how it changes the carry experience compared to standard capacity mags.

My first impressions of the magazine attachment can be summed up in one word - precision. As a former machinist myself, I can see the quality CNC machining put into this piece. Although the magazine extensions appear to have very rough corner edges, they have been chamfered to a comfortable angle that prevents any poking or scratching when handling them or holstering them.

Anodizing is done very well and is resistant to normal wear and scratches, but if you put enough effort into it, it will fade - it cannot be defeated by any means, but it is good enough that it will not wear down the finish with normal use. .

Glock 43x, 48 9mm 10 Round Gen 5 Magazine

I give them a solid 9/10 for looks - they look great when paired with the two original tones of the Glock 43X and Glock 48, both of which I own. The magazine is flush with the dimensions of the grip and only extends downwards, adding to the height of the entire weapon in this configuration. I was expecting a slightly odd look with other colors, but with the black and silver that Tyrant sent me, the gun looks great.

This is the scariest part of customizing a magazine extension for a Glock pistol. With most pistol magazines, simply press the button on the bottom of the magazine and remove the base plate. In the Glock magazine, there are two small arrow tabs on the right and left sides of the magazine body that are engaged in the base plate, which must be pressed in addition to the button on the underside to force the base of the spring up.

There are tools to do this, but I used a pair of channel keys to cool the sides. Even with channel locking, it takes a significant amount of force to deal with a small amount of engagement from the Locking tab to remove the original base plate.

After removing the original base plate, installing the Tyrant Design extension is a breeze: simply transfer the roller from the old spring to the extension spring, insert the spring and roller, then close them with the magazine extension.

Tyrant has made disassembly easy by stopping a small arrow on the back of the extension that can be compressed by pushing firmly against something empty or other solid objects - no channel key needed.

The magazine extension works as advertised. I had a little trouble loading them up to 14 rounds. It doesn't matter with a little practice, but the last round definitely needs a lot of push to get there. Although the pressure is increased, the magazine can be inserted and the shutter closed, but it will not fall when fully charged.

I did some testing to see when the mags behaved during normal gun operation. If the magazine is fully loaded, they are difficult to seat and do not fall freely. However, it appears that you can have a magazine filled with 12 rounds and still have it fall out of the gun for free. With more rounds, the magazine tends to jam inside the magazine. This seems to be a problem with Glock magazines combined with increased spring pressure causing a bulge near the bottom of the OEM Glock magazine.

When fully loaded, the side of the magazine protrudes enough to store the magazine in the weapon. This may be a problem for some, but I found a minor problem since I could not see the fully loaded magazine falling out. In normal use, the spring provides enough pressure to properly load the weapon and secure the breech on the last round. Once the magazine is empty, the mags are released as usual - maybe even faster than magazines, due to the heavier weight of the attachment.

Emp Extended +2 Magazine For Glock 43x

One thing I noticed is that the attachment on the gun also prevents you from pinching your palm between the magwell and the magazine base plate when loading. Overall, I had better handle with the attachment of the magazine on.

The biggest downside to magazine extensions is in the concealability department. When loaded into the Glock 48, it adds almost 2 inches to the overall height of the gun. The bust is often the hardest part to hide because it goes against the natural oval shape of your waist. When hidden under the regular shirts I wear, they create a more visible print, which is not ideal.

Just recently, TFBTV's James Reeves gave us a scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of concealed carry pistols. The efficiency score is used as follows:

Calculated as the product of rounds per square inch and rounds per ounce. This does not account for the length of the entire gun, but accounts for its effectiveness. Lighter and thin pistols / short frame and high capacity will do well here. Higher scores are better.

Glock 43x Black Oem 10 Rd 9mm Mag

Glock 48 regularly earns an efficiency score of 0.79 with a magazine capacity of 10 rounds. With the magazine extended, the efficiency score drops to 0.76, which isn't much of a reduction. This puts the Glock 48 on par with guns like the SIG Sauer P228, Glock 26 Gen 3, and the compact SIG Sauer P320. The main factor contributing to the lower score is added height.

I subjectively think that if I carry this magazine attachment, I will carry it either in the pocket or in the magazine holster, as this will reduce the negative effect they have on concealability when loaded into the gun. Of course, you can change this efficiency score by adding a large magazine extension, but that will ultimately defeat the hidden purpose - basically cheating the system.

I think the Tyrant Designs +4 Magazine Extensions are a great addition to your Glock 43X or Glock 48 for everyday shooting or as a backup magazine extension. They don't add weight and provide extra grip space for those with exceptional hands.

I probably won't take it as part of my EDC kit, but I will take it to the range and keep it charged at home. The way I carry it doesn't lend itself to having a bigger grip than a Glock 48. Having extra mags with a higher capacity is always a good idea and I think the best way to carry it is to have it loaded at home or as an extra case in car or with you.

glock 43x mos accessories

Glock 43x Mos Accessories - For a long time I carried a Glock 26 as my concealed carry pistol. Hey, sometimes I even hid my Glock 17.

Take a stock Glock 43X, add the following accessories, and you have the ultimate concealed carry gun.

Glock 43x Mos Accessories

What can I add to my Glock 43X? There is no shortage of accessories for the Glock 43x, but there are a few that I think are essential. These are sights, a match barrel and a powerful metal magazine. Also, you can add a recoiler if you have a threaded Glock 43X barrel.

Night Fision Optics Ready Tritium Night Sights For Glock 43x Mos

Night Fision is one of the oldest Tritium licensees in the United States and knows a thing or two about working with Tritium. Tritium night sights are some of the most technologically advanced sights on the firearms market. So what makes Night Fision Tritium different from others on the market?

For starters, they use a ballistic polymer cup. Many other companies use only a painted ring or a small cap. A ballistic polymer cup is made of the same material as bulletproof glass. In addition, the material of the ballistic polymer cup is given a fluorescent color. Inside the ballistic polymer cup is a custom Tritium vial.

That tritium glass has 30% more gas pressure than any other night sight on the market. Pressure is what makes tritium glow. The higher the pressure, the lighter the gas. After that, the ballistic polymer cup and custom Tritium glass are mounted on a 4140 metal body, which is coated with black nitride.

All this attention to detail ensures that what they see is the clearest available. Night Fision guarantees lifetime displays that will never break, crack, fade or fall. Be sure that these images will survive the end of the world apocalypse.

There are many things you can do with a rifle to extend the effective range to 50 yards and beyond.

Things like a match barrel that can cut your team in half at 50 yards,  ammo options and a nice set of sights.

Faxon Firearms has been wowing the industry for a while now with its barrel craftsmanship. Barrels compatible with the Glock 43X Grade are not.

The Faxon-matched barrel drops with no adjustment required, and the lock is much tighter than the OEM barrel. A tight locking assembly, a 1:10 standard rifling, and an 11 degree aiming crown make the Glock 43X a clean and accurate shooter.

This Glock 43x barrel is incredibly accurate and with so many coating options, you can get the look you want; because good looks are important.

The Faxon EXOS Pistol Compensator is one of the best compensators on the market for the Glock 43X pistol. Of course, it is not the only player in town, its design, ease of installation and functionality leave the competition on its heels.

The angled port design allows the gas to travel upwards rather than sideways, reducing the up and down travel of the muzzle and improving the overall accuracy of the Glock 43x.

Glock 43 Vs Glock 43x

The Faxon EXOS pistol compensator is designed to fit the slide and is designed for Faxon pistol barrels.

The Glock 43X is a great concealed carry option, but with a ten-round capacity, it falls short of other pistols in this category.

Shield Arms has a solution with a Gen2 15 round steel magazine. This reinforced steel magazine not only adds five extra rounds of capacity, but it does so while extending the factory magazine.

Plus, you get a slightly better purchase on the magazine base if you remove the magazine from the gun.

Metallic Pin & Extended Controls Kit For Glock 42/43/43x/48

The Shield Arms Glock Magazine Release is a quick and easy way to upgrade your Glock 43X pistol. This magazine is machined from steel for unparalleled durability and is designed to blend flawlessly with the ergonomics and style of the Glock 43X.

In addition to performing exactly like the OEM edition, the Shield Arms Glock 43X magazine profile is slightly flared with serrated edges, allowing you to press your magazine every time, every time. Why upgrade this Glock steel magazine?

The OEM magazine release is made of polymer material. When upgrading a Shield Arms 15-round metal magazine, over time that metal magazine wears on the OEM magazine and causes performance problems. To reduce this problem, it is recommended that you upgrade to this edition of Steel Magazine.

This is definitely a quick and easy way to customize your favorite Glock. The magazine release is compatible with the Glock OEM 43X with 48 magazines and Shield Arms 15 round steel magazines.

glock 17 serial number lookup

Glock 17 Serial Number Lookup - Confused about all the Glock models? You're not the only one, but we're here to take you through them!

The Glock is the most widely issued service pistol today, which is pretty impressive for a company that started out making curtain rods. Gaston Glock has no experience making guns, but he has experience making polymers. He convened the top pistol experts in Europe, built the prototype of the Glock 17 in 1982, and the rest is glorious Austrian history.

Glock 17 Serial Number Lookup

Glock pistols are polymer framed, semi-automatic, short recoil operated, breech-locking, firing pin fired pistols. Well, most of them are - the rimfire G44 is a recoil operated gun, and the only one that broke the mold. Glock pistols come in many calibers and in various sizes. These weren't the first polymer pistols, but they were the first to be wildly successful.

Police Sound The Alarm On Loosened Gun Laws. Judges Aren't Listening

The G17 was the first model produced and was designed to meet the needs of the Austrian Army. The specific needs of the Austrian Army drove the development of the weapon and define the Glock to this day. The Austrian Army needed a semi-automatic pistol that was safe, lightweight, high capacity, and reliable, and the Glock fulfilled that need.

Glock has a simple way of naming pistols. Each model is assigned a number after the letter G, which predictably stands for Glock. These numbers have nothing to do with the gun itself, and seem arbitrary to most people -- for example, the G45 is not a 45 caliber pistol, it's actually a 9mm pistol.

These numbers are assigned to designs when they are published, not in the order they are published. So while the G20 and 21 started development before the 22 and 23, the 22 and 23 were released first.

The G17 came when manual safety on pistols became the norm. Glock's Plastic Fantastics don't have a manual safety, but that doesn't mean they aren't safe. Glock refers to their pistols as Glock Safety Action pistols, referring to the three separate built-in safety devices.

Gen 3 & 4 Glock 7.5\

The trigger safety is the famous little trick located in the center of the trigger. When you pull the trigger, your finger is on the trigger safety, so you can't pull the trigger without engaging the trigger safety.

The striker safety device prevents the striker from moving forward when the striker fires. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger lever pushes the striker safety up and away. If you release the trigger before firing, the firing pin safety will automatically fall back into place.

A fall safety device is a device that does exactly what you think it does. Dropping the gun will disable it from firing. When you pull the trigger, the trigger lever lowers the safety ramp and releases the firing pin.

Glock is currently in its fifth generation. As the Glock made exterior and interior changes, a new generation emerged. There is no timetable for when the Glock generations will end or begin, they will be improved as needed.

Serial Number Lookup For S&w J Frame Revolver

The release of a new generation doesn't always mean the disappearance of previous generations. Often, the old and new Glock generations are produced at the same time.

There are also guns that exist beyond the generations defined by the Glock. Some weapons are scattered all over the place and may lack the codename used to determine which generation the weapon is. Some weapons are also generational, the most common being gen 2 and 3 weapons. Glock enthusiasts often refer to them as Gen 2.5 guns.

Gen 1 - The first Glocks on the market. Plain and simple: these are useful guns. Generation 1 consisted entirely of one pistol, the Glock 17.

Generation 2 - Glock added different sizes and calibers to the Generation 2 model. A metal plate with a serial number was inserted, the guide rod system became a one-piece design, dice were added to the front and rear of the grip, and the magazine floor was replaced.

Glock 17 Gen 1

Gen 3 - The third generation is where rails become a standard option on larger than subcompact guns. The handle has added finger grooves and scallops cut into the left and right sides of the bezel that act as thumb rests.

Internal changes include a cross pin above the trigger pin to reduce the load on the locking block. Suction now also rises when the chamber is full and acts as a chamber load indicator.

Generation 4 - In the 4th generation, the Glock shrinks the pistol grip slightly and adds a modular strap system to change the size of the grip. The grip is also more radical, and magazine publishing is reversible for the left.

The Gen 4 also features a dual spring recoil bar assembly that reduces recoil. The 4th generation also introduced the MOS gun, which allows for easy mounting of optics.

Generation 5 - The latest generation of Glock pistols is the Generation 5. These pistols have had finger grooves removed, the magazine bay has been enlarged for faster reloading, the trigger guard has been cut in high relief for higher grip, and the slide is now ambidextrous.

Additionally, Glock added a new barrel to the pistol, and the cross pin above the trigger guard was also removed.

Now that you've got the basics down, we can get into specific models, classes, and more in Part 2!

Unauthorized use and/or reproduction of this material without the express written permission of the author and/or owner of this site is strictly prohibited. Excerpts and links may be used provided full and explicit credit is given to Travis Pike and the CrossBreed blog, and the original content is properly and specifically cited. A very common question from new Glock buyers was "What generation is my Glock?" before the 4 was released. For a generation, Glock did not officially recognize the model number, which contributed to the notion that "Glock is Glock is Glock - they are all the same". But early collectors noticed differences and informally identified three main iterations or "generations" according to which they were classified. This nomenclature became so common that Glock released Gen 4 in 2008, and their promotional material now highlights earlier Gens in places.

The images below will help you clearly identify which generation your Glock belongs to, but please note that there is some overlap due to slow model transfers. Also, gen 3 guns are still in production due to California pistol restrictions, so you may have a gen 5 gun that is actually older than a gen 3 gun! Annotations on the images identified major features that remained consistent across generations, but within the same generation, subtle changes in marking and internal structure could be found at different time intervals (sometimes back and forth). Thus, hard breaks between generations simply indicate major framework revisions, many parts of which can be replaced between two or more generations, but some changes that last only a short time within one generation.

The first generation is constantly changing. While the original design is solid, it's still a work in progress. A consistent feature is the grip texture that wraps the entire grip (no front and rear strap controls). Compared to later Genes, it has a smoother feel and is considered a "rock feel" by collectors. Early guns had a thinner stainless steel barrel, phosphating was introduced early (AD prefix at the latest), and increased barrel wall thickness at the latest AN prefix. Magazines, cartridge cases, and small internals also come in multiple variations. All firearms will have the Austrian certification mark, but not the uniform position or number of marks. Very early (pre-USA) guns and guns intended for the European market do not have serial number plates in the body of the gun. Most early guns also came with sights, known as "weak sights" due to their fragility. Standard (fixed) sights are also cycle correct, although the target version will fetch a premium. With the exception of the few 19s made, all frames have a crescent-shaped magazine embossment on the bottom of the front straps.

Generation 2 is what many novice collectors and even uninformed dealers refer to as "Gen 1". The confusion stems from two factors: 1. 1. The gene is so rare that many casual observers may have never seen it before. 2. Many models were introduced in the second generation series, some consider them "first generation" since this is the first issue of the model. Just to clarify, if you have a Model 20 or higher, you own a Gen 2 Glock, even if it's the first version of it

glock 17 serial number

Glock 17 Serial Number - A very common question for new Glock buyers is "What generation is my Glock?" Prior to the release of the 4th generation, Glock no longer officially recognized model numbers, which contributed to the perception that "a Glock is a Glock is a Glock - they're all the same." But early collectors noticed the differences and settled on three main iterations or "generations" to informally classify them. The nomenclature was so common that Glock followed suit with the Gen 4 release in 2008, and their promotional literature now highlights earlier Gens in some places.

The photos below will help you determine exactly which generation your Glock belongs to, but remember that there are many similarities because the models have changed gradually. Also, because of the handgun restrictions in California, 3rd generation guns are still being made, so you can have a 5th generation gun that is older than the 3rd generation! The notes on the pictures identify the main features that are consistent throughout the generation, but minor changes to the characters and internals can be found at different time intervals and sometimes back and forth - within a single Gen. Thus, strict breaks between generations indicate revision of only important frames, many parts may be replaced over two or more periods, but some changes last only a short time within a generation.

Glock 17 Serial Number

The 1st generation was one of constant change. Although the initial design is reliable, it is still under development. One consistent feature is the grip structure that wraps around the entire handlebar (no front or rear tires checked). It has a softer feel than later generations and is considered "rock texture" by collectors. The early rifles had a thin stainless steel barrel, parker coating was early (not later than the AD prefix) and the barrel wall thickness was not later than the N prefix. There are also various changes to the magazine, case and small internal parts. All rifles will have Austrian proof marks, but not consistent placement or number of dots. Many early (pre-US) and European market rifles do not have a serial number on the frame. Many early rifles were equipped with sights called "Weak Points" because of their fragility. The standard (stationary) sights are also dated, but the target version will have a higher level. All frames had a crescent magwell relief on the bottom of the front tires, except for a few number 19s.

New Glock 19 Gen 5 With Consecutive Serial Numbers (pending Sale)

Gen 2 is what many new collectors or even uninformed dealers call "Gen 1". The confusion stems from two factors: 1. Generation 1 is extremely rare and most casual observers may not have seen it. 2. Many models were introduced in the 2nd generation line, and some consider them "1st generation" because they are the first edition of that model. To clarify, if you own a Model 20 or higher, you have a Gen 2 Glock, even if it is the first version of the gun. The only obvious difference between the 1 and 2 for the 17-19 models is the addition of a checkered color to the front and rear tires, as well as a change in the texture of the side panels (deeper than the 1st generation). Gen 2 also saw the introduction of 5 additional calibers, and all non-.380/9mm rifles were equipped with a second locking block to prevent frame cracking from heavier recoil. It should be noted that the number of pins does not indicate generation, as many believe. 9mm frames have only two pins from generation 1 to generation 3, all other calibers have 3 pins. All full-size frames carry magwell relief on the bottom of the front tire.

By the late 1990s, Glock had become a dominant force in the American gun market, and other manufacturers were scrambling to copy the design. This led to some pressure to try to stay ahead of the crowd and "innovate" the Glock design. Gen 3 changes actually began in 1995 with the release of subcompact models. It was believed that the grip would be too small for most people to hold, so toe grooves were built into the front tire to increase and prevent purchase. rotation due to recoil. This began a 3-year transition period, until the full facelift reached all models in '98. Some large frame transition models are quite rare (especially in ported variations) - see https:///transitional/ for more information. The Gen 3 will have finger grooves on the front strap, thumb grooves on the top of the grip, and an additional rail built into the dust cover. As mentioned above, ONLY for 9mm calibers you will still find early 3rd generation 2-pin designs. Frames were simplified to all 3-pin in the early 2000s.

When the 4th generation appeared, Glock became ubiquitous for the "pistol", but again faced competition with innovative designs. One fad that caught the fancy of consumers was having interchangeable backstraps to better fit the handle to different sized hands. Glock initially experimented with narrower grips on the Gen 3 SF models (they were only available in .45 and 10mm calibers). A modular rear strap system brought SF proportions to all frames with two options for larger size and even beaver adapter inserts. The internals were redesigned from the ground up and were actually built with the .40S&W reverse profile in mind and then shortened to 9mm (Gen 1-3 reverse design here). This should continue the legendary reliability of the 9s and make the .40 models even more durable. The grip structure has also been changed to a more aggressive pattern on the side panels – again the first to be tried on the short range of the last Gen 3 rifles with the “RTF2” texture. RTF2s are technically Gen 3, possibly Gen 3.5, and were only produced from 2009 to 2011 (special edition ban period) - see image at bottom of this page.

The first generation 5 models actually preceded the release of the new subcompact smartline models 42 and 43. These models started out as radical redesigns with all new internal components to fit the smaller dimensions, and the FBI played a role in these changes being implemented. . With their demands on the M models, they went bigger guns. The 19X, 42, 43, 43X, 44, 45 and 48 technically do not have a Gen 5 mark on the slide, but are never closely matched with other Gen 5 rifles. The 17s and 19s were officially released as Gen 5s in 2017, and other 9mm and .40 S&W offerings followed, but so far no .357 Sig, 10mm, or .45 ACP offerings have been produced. Major changes include a "shot" barrel, full dual controls, flared magwell, and removal of front strap toe.

There are (at least) two other designs that are really beyond generational differences, or different enough to be hard to tell from the talk above: 1. RTF2 third generation and 2. FBI M series.

RTF2 is short for "rough texture framework, version two". The first version was only built as a prototype and never released, but at least one is on display at the Cody Firearms Museum. The designers went back to the second version, and new shapes were created to incorporate this grip texture into the standard 3rd generation design. All internal parts are the same, so the only difference is the structure of the handle. As you can see in the exploded photo, the entire handle is covered in little pyramids - and let me tell you, they are sharp! This gun sticks to your hand even when wet. Glock sold it primarily to the police from 2009 to 2011, but the design is a clear step between the third and fourth generation guns. The pyramid concept was carried over, but with larger pyramids, as RTF2s were prone to wear and tear through clothing. See https:///rtf2g/ for more images.

And finally, we have to talk about the FBI's M-series pistol. The 17M and 19M actually preceded and probably inspired the Gen 5 rifles. They were built to specifications requested by the FBI as a new department service weapon and incorporated some design changes from the mini 42/43 models as well as some new ideas. These were the first Glocks to have two controls and modifications to the gun designed to improve accuracy. On the outside, however, the M rifle looks and feels almost exactly like the Gen 5 - the main differences are internal, which is why most collectors consider them part of the Gen 5 family. For the right person, the "M" added to the model designation makes a big difference in the price they are willing to pay.

Glock 17 Serial Number Location - A common question for new Glock buyers is "What is my Glock?" Prior to the release of the fourth generation, Glocks were not officially recognized by more than the model number, which contributed to the idea that "a Glock is a Glock - a Glock - they're all the same." But early collectors noticed the difference and informally settled on three major iterations, or "generations," by which to classify. The designation became so popular that Glock followed suit with the release of the Gen 4 in 2008, and their promotional literature now highlights the previous generation in places.

The images below will help you clearly identify which generation Glock is a part of, but note that there is quite a bit of overlap as the models are ported slowly. Also, the Gen 3 pistol is still in production due to California's handgun ban, so you could have a Gen 5 pistol that is actually older than the Gen 3! Observations on images identify key characteristics that are constant between generations, but small changes in markings and internal parts can be found at different intervals within the same generation – sometimes back and forth. Thus, hard breaks between generations only mark major modifications in the framework, where many parts can be replaced in two or more parts, but some changes last only for a short time in one generation.

Glock 17 Serial Number Location

The first generation was a constant change The initial design, while reliable, was in development The only consistent feature is the grip texture that wraps around the entire handle (without front or rear bar checks). It has a smoother feel than the later groups and is considered by collectors to have a "limestone texture". Early rifles featured a slim stainless steel barrel with a recessed finish introduced earlier (not later than the AD indentation) and barrel Wall thickness increased later than AD indentation. There are also many differences in magazines, cases and small internal parts. All rifles will have Austrian proof marks, but no fixed location or number of marks. Very early (pre-US) and on frames for European markets. There is no serial number plate. Most early rifles were also equipped with target sights that were called "weekend sights" because of their fragility. Standard (fixed) sights are also period correct, although target versions will run a premium. All but a few dozen made. The frames had a nice half-moon pattern at the bottom of the front straps

The second generation is what many new collectors or uninformed dealers refer to as the "first generation". The confusion comes from two reasons: 1. The first generation is very rare and many casual observers may never have seen it. 2. Several models were introduced in the second line and some consider them "first generation" because they are the first version of that particular model. To clarify, if you have a model 20 or older, you have a Gen 2 Glock even if it is the first version of this gun. The obvious difference between the 1 and 2 for the 17-19 models is the addition of a checker on the front and rear bars as well as the structure of the side panels (deeper than the first generation). The second generation also saw the introduction of 5 additional calibers and other rifles. It is important to note that pin numbers do not indicate generation as many people think Only the Gen 3 production 9mm frame has a Gen 1 pin, while all other calibers have 3 pins. All full-size frames are mounted on the relief of the mag wells below the front bar

By the late 1990s, Glock had become a dominant force in the American gun market, and other manufacturers were trying to copy the design. This led to some pressure to try to take its lead and "innovate" the Glock design. Gen changes really began in 1995 with the release of compact sub-models. It was thought that the grip would be too small for many, so finger grooves were machined into the frontstrap to try to increase purchase and avoid rotation. It began a 3-year transition period until it was completely changed again in '98 Some large frame transitional models are quite rare (especially in portable variations) - see https:///transitional/ for more information. The third generation will have front strap finger grooves, finger rest indentations at the top of the grip, and an accessory bar made of dust cover. As mentioned above, for only 9mm, you still get the two pin design when you run the third generation. In the early 2000s the frames were simplified to all 3 pins

By the start of the fourth generation, Glock had become ubiquitous for "pistols" but again found itself pitted against competitors with more innovative designs. One fad that was popular with customers was the interchangeable back straps for a better fit with different hand sizes.

The modular backstrap system brings SF proportions to all frames with two size options and beavertail adapter inserts. The internals were redesigned from the ground up and actually built with the .40S&W recoil profile and then downsized to 9mm (as Gen 1-3 are designed the opposite way). This should prove to make the .40 model more durable while continuing the legendary reliability of the 9. The grip texture on the side panels was also changed to a more aggressive pattern – again experienced with the so-called “RTF2” texture on a short run of third-generation pistols.

It began as a redesign with all new interior components to fit the smaller size, and the FBI played a role in these changes. Take out the larger guns with a series of M models 17 and 19 officially released as Gen 5s in 2017 and 9mm and .40 S&W offerings followed but no 357 Sig, 10mm or .45 ACP has yet been produced. The major changes of note are the "shooter" barrel, completely new controls, flared magwell, and removal of the front pressure finger hole.

There are (at least) two other designs that may come across that actually fall outside the generation gap or are different enough that it's hard to tell from the above statement: 1. RTF2 3rd gen and 2. FBI M-series.

RTF2 is short for Rough Texture Framework, Second Edition The first version was only made as a prototype and was never released although at least one version is on display at the Cody Fireworks Museum. Designers landed on the second version and built new ones to incorporate this grip texture into a standard third-generation design. All the internals are the same so the only difference is the structure of the grip As you can see from the exploded image, the entire fist is covered in little pyramids - and let me tell you, they're sharp! This rifle will stay true to your hand, even when wet Glock marketed it to police from 2009 to 2011, but the design is a clear stepping stone between their third and fourth generation pistols. The pyramid concept was carried forward but even the RTF2 with the large pyramid was subject to wear and tear. See https:///rtf2g/ for more images

Finally, we'll also discuss the FBI's M Series pistol The 17M & 19M actually preceded it and may have inspired the Gen 5 rifle. It was built to specifications requested by the FBI as the department's new service weapon and featured some design changes and some new ideas from the Mini 42/43 models. These are the first Glocks designed to improve rifling control and accuracy On the outside, though, the M Pistol will look and feel like a Gen 5 – the main difference is internal so most collectors consider it part of the Gen 5 family. However, for the right person, adding an "M". The model will tag A big difference in the price he wanted
