If you're a firearm fanatic who's mad about getting as close to the real deal as possible, you've come to the right place.

The first of these are the "long slide" models, which were too long for certain IPSC classes, necessitating the creation of the intermediate "competition" models. Gen 5" is rollmarked on the slide next to the model number to identify the fifth-generation pistols. The Glock 36 is the first Glock pistol to be manufactured with a single-stack magazine, having a standard capacity of six rounds and being unique to the model. These early Glock (Gen 1) pistols (serial number prefix AF through AM) were also manufactured with a barrel that had a smaller overall diameter and thinner bore walls, later known as "pencil barrels".The drop safety guides the trigger bar in a ramp that is released only when direct rearward pressure is applied to the trigger. Unlike the Glock 19X, the Glock 45 features a flared magazine well and can accommodate Gen 5 magazines, because unlike the 19X, the Glock 45 does not have the front lip that blocks the Gen 5 magazine's extended floor plate. Glock 29SF: The 29SF version of the Glock 29 uses the SF which is based on the standard G29 frame (same width), but reduces the trigger reach from the back of the grip by 2. a b c "Íslenskur her: Hugmyndir um stofnun íslensks hers í 400 ár" [Icelandic army: Ideas about the establishment of the Icelandic army for 400 years]. The most obvious difference with the Glock third- and fourth-generation models on published images is the omission of finger grooves on the grip.

The underlying nitriding treatment will remain, protecting these parts even if the decorative surface finish were to wear off. Maritime spring cups are designed to allow the pistol to be fired immediately after being submerged in water.Glock magazines are interchangeable between models of the same caliber, meaning that a compact or subcompact pistol will accept magazines designed for the larger pistols chambered for the same round. At the time Glock had no experience in manufacturing firearms but had extensive experience in the manufacture of advanced synthetic polymers, thus the Glock 17's use of a polymer frame, something which at the time drew scepticism from many in the firearms world. The standard magazine capacity of the Glock 20 is 15 rounds, and there are no other factory magazine offerings. The frame houses the locking block, which is an investment casting that engages a 45° camming surface on the barrel's lower camming lug. The system, designated "Safe Action" by Glock, consists of an external integrated trigger safety and two automatic internal safeties: a firing pin safety and a drop safety.

The firing pin safety is a solid hardened steel pin that, in the secured state, blocks the firing pin channel (disabling the firing pin in its longitudinal axis). The factory magazines from the larger Glock 22 and 23 will function in the Glock 27, increasing capacity to 13, 14, 15, 16 or 22 rounds. Glock 17C: Introduced in 1996, the 17C incorporates slots cut in the barrel and slide to compensate for recoil. Modification to the model or weapon issued to an individual member outside of this criteria is subject to the approval of the Chief of Police, or their designee, and the Lead Firearms Instructor.Those batches are identical to the Austrian-made ones, but they are marked as "USA", instead of "AUSTRIA", on the slide. a b c "Tengslanet lögreglukvenna: Lögreglukonur í skotfimi" [Policewomen's network: Policewomen in shooting]. The Glock Model 22 is favored and used by multiple law enforcement agencies around the world, including the Baltimore Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Miami Police Department, Maryland State Police, Cumberland County Sheriff's Department (NJ), Overland Park Police Department, Kansas City Police Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Alaska State Troopers in the United States; the NSW Police Force, Queensland Police Service and the Northern Territory Police Force in Australia; the Edmonton Police Service, Calgary Police Service, Alberta Sheriffs Branch, Winnipeg Police Service, Toronto Police Service, Ottawa Police Service, and British Columbia Sheriff Service in Canada; and the National Bureau of Investigation (Philippines), among others. The following day I received a rough draft image of the over all look, placement of text, illustration, colors, etc. By 1992, some 350,000 pistols had been sold in more than 45 countries, including 250,000 in the United States alone.

In addition, the plan was to make extensive use of synthetic materials and modern manufacturing technologies, which led to the Glock 17 becoming a cost-effective candidate. Earlier versions of the magazines will not lock into the Gen4 pistols if the user has moved the magazine release button to be operated by a left-handed user. Thus, the interior of the barrel consists of smooth arcs of steel rather than sharply defined slots. The concern with the size of the Glock 20/21 has been addressed by the Glock 36, 21SF, and 30SF, all of which featured reduced-size frames. In the late 80s, gun control advocates had similarly focused on Glock pistols because of their magazine capacity (compared to six shot revolvers), but also their "futuristic, distinct appearance".

During 2010, Glock switched from the salt bath nitriding Tenifer process to a not exactly disclosed gas nitriding process. The magazine was slightly modified, changing the floorplate and fitting the follower spring with a resistance insert at its base.
