What Generation Glock is This?

[LUBEDUDE]

I’m very ignorant about Glocks, though I have a few. I don’t know why, I don’t shoot them.

I got this one 10 + years ago. I’m at least sure that it is not a 1st Generation.

Can you tell by theses pics?

If I’ll get you the information needed.

Thanks!

Gen 3

Early Gen 3, most gen 3 will be a two pin. I have a 17 that is a one pin gen 3 also.

Thanks gentlemen!

Agreed Gen3, and in my experience that's the good one. Go shoot it!

[Catshooter]

Actually sac the terminology is two pin/three pin. Never been a Glock with only one pin. Count 'em.

I wouldn't correct you except that having the correct terms can really help when using a computer as they are so literal & stupid.

I think only the Model 17 & 19 were 1st GEN.
The first run of the Models 22 & 23 and 20 & 21 were 2nd Gen.

Gen 3 the model 19 is about my favorite glock.

Gen 3 the model 19 is about my favorite glock.
They're still making them.

And I have one or two.[smilie=w:

I have seen gen. 2 frames with three pins, didn't know they made any gen. 3's with two pins. Supposedly, they also made some gen. 3's without the rail on the dust cover also.

[Catshooter]

Yup. At the beginning of the transition to new change there were some mongrels.

Huh! Ive never seen a finger groove (typical of Gen 3) but with only two pins. Pretty neat!

I have a gen. 3 Glock 22 and gen. 4 19 and 26. I really like the removable backstrap of the gen. 4 guns as it makes the grip a little smaller when removed. The gen. 3 trigger pull is a little lighter but mushier than the 4's. I am looking forward to seeing how the gen. 5 turns out. No finger bumps, more cast friendly barrel, better trigger pull, sounds great to me!
