I was curious if it stood for Police Department. Or does that signify something else, or perhaps nothing at all? Thanks.

Inspector Callahan, (Harold Francis Callahan), only carries a S&W Model 29 in .44 Magnum.

LOL. We are fellow Dirty Harry fans, I see.

I have one from Nashville Metro PD. It's serial number was MN****PD . in that type of sequence. I think Glock will do that for big purchases such as Nashville Police Dept and so on.

Interesting. The prefix on mine is IM. I assume that's short for a police department. Maybe something Metro. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department?? Just a guess. Anyone know?

Mentioned this before but my Gen 4 Glock 17 has the serial number prefix "ACME". Was actually on the fence about buying it, until I saw the label on the side of the box.

Or the sprawling metropolis of Inyo County, California? LOL!

No it just means "P-diddy" squat.

No it just means "P-diddy" squat.

So it doesn't stand for Police Department?

If you can, post a pic of your new Glock.

Typically if its a department special order, it will also have department markings on it.

No. Just the prefix and suffix.

 

[StuckInCa]

based on Police marked Glocks there is a member with IMPD as one. Unfortunately, without markings, youll probably never find out what department. Glock wont tell you, ive called and asked.

edit after post - a quick google finds this IMPD LE turn in Glock-22 gen 4 on GB and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock nice section on IMPD glocks.

Interesting. Thanks.

Glock will do special numbers. Mid 2000s, my Agency bought 22.4s to replace our "old" 22.3s. The SN used was a random 3 letter prefix plus your 4 digit ID number and the slides were engraved with the agency name and emblem.

 

[Inspector_Callahan]

So IM prefix and PD suffix have nothing to do with Indianapolis Metro Police Department, or any other PD?

I have a Glock 22, Gen 3 New Orleans PD marked
serial number is NO…PD.
