Glock Generation ID. This may help

[Randall53]

I thought I'd post this to help us with our Glocks. It sure helped me out.

It just leaves out the Gen 2.5 guns. There were some Gen frames with no rail and finger grooves.

 

My G30 is an example.

 

But other than that, this pic does help with identification.

Here is a picture of the Gen 2.5:

I must have a gen 2.75.

 

 

:cool:

[hipower]

Yes, my G30 grip looks like that, with the little nibs on them.

My son knows them by heart, he can spot one in a second. LOL

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I believe that 3rd Generation Sub Compact Glocks did not have an accessory rail.  So wouldn't this one just be a 3rd and not a 2.5?

[Randall53]

Are the slides and barrel etc interchangeable between Gens?  I mean like a Gen 3 and a Gen 2?

I believe you are right.

The large frame 29/30 is different. They got rails and finger grooves for the Gen 3. Gen 2 had neither and the Gen 2.5 had finger grooves amd no rail.

In .45acp the 36 is the true subcompact, the 29/30 is more like a compact Edited November 17, 2014 by nightrunner

Most people know the early, previously posted 26/27 with its smooth front strap between the groove as a 2.5 gen; although it is not official. The very first g29 and g30 had the numbs between the finger groove and then went to having the rail. People can never agree if the one pictured above should be a 2.5 or a 3, but that is what they looked like when they appeared in 1997.

This is a gen3 G30 that I traded away last year and no longer own.

Here is another gen 2.5 that I traded a few years ago and no longer own.

Here is a good read on the glocks genre and sorts:

Sorry I had to:)

[Caster]

That's a Gen-'Tard.

[hipower]

Generation F-----. Ugliest thing I've ever seen done to any pistol.

The frame looks like its made of cork. I have been hunting for a G19 with the fish gills, but I would have to pass on that one...

[swim615]

The g19 I bought that had fish gills took me about 30 min of IWB carry to decide to sale. It rubbed me the wrong way literally.
