Gen 1 & 2

Melissa5 · 02-13-2012, 15:54

What Glocks were made in Gen 1 and Gen 2? Here are the ones I know about:

Gen 1 - 17

Gen 2 - 17, 17L, 19, 21

Please fill in the blanks.

I've got a Gen 2 19 & 17, but would really like a 26 if it was made.

I've wondered that myself

Gen 1 - 17 and 17L, have heard of but never confirmed or seen pics myself of a very few 19 gen 1. May be someone who knows glock gun history better can, post

Gen 2 - 17, 19, 21,22,23, 17L for sure. Maybe a 20? I had a what was called a gen 2.5 (finger groves but no light rail) 20C at one time but sold it.

Thanks Justin1911!

I have seen Gen 2 model 20's so you can add those to the list.

As for the G26, they never made a Gen 2 but they did make a Gen 2.5(strange I know). I believe GT member RyanBDawg has posted pictures of his before. They had the finger grooves but there wasn't any checkering between the grooves. It was smooth.

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know. I don't think I'm interested in a gen 2.5 G26.

Thanks Coogan! Is the Gen 2 21 grip as fat as the Gen 3?

No problem! There are also the C models in Gen 2, but they are rather rare: G17C, G19C, G20C, G21C, G22C, G23C and *maybe* G31C and G32C, but I have never seen them in the wild.

Yes. Without the "thumb rests" of the Gen 3 the Gen 2 may feel even bigger to some.

Thanks again. I guess I am done looking for gen 2's then and will start looking for the Gen 1 17.
