Glock Models...explained.

[LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L]

So Glock just announced their new Glock 44, chambered in 22 rimfire. I figured now would be a good time to explain Glock and their models....

 

 

The Glock 44 is in 22. The Glock 22 is in 40. The Glock 40 is in 10 like the 20. There is no Glock 10, but there is a Glock in 9 aka the 17 and 19 and 26 and 43, not including the 48 - which came out before the 44 - and the 43X, which are the same except for the ways in which they’re different. Actually they’re like the 45, which is a 9, which is the same as a 19x which is actually more like the 17 than the 19. Strangely enough the 45 came before the 44, but 45 came before 9, but not 44, so maybe that’s the logic. If you wanted a 45, you need a 36, a 41, a 30, a 21, or a 21SF, or a 30S, or a 30SF. Of course if you want Glock’s 45 you need a 37, 38 or 39. The 38 isn’t a 38, there are other 38’s. If you want a Glock, definitely get the 19 and maybe a 22 to practice with - not the 40 22, but the 44 22. The 22 won’t help you to practice with your 9 as much as a 23, which is closer to the 19. Unless your goal is competition, in which case you should have been considering a 35 or 17L or 24 or 41 or 34 which are 40 9 40 45 9 respectively. The 31 32 and 33 are actually 357’s but not the 38 357’s. They’re 357’s that are more like 9s but not like the 380 is like 9’s. If you wanted that you need a 42. And nobody likes a 42, you’re better off with a 9. And therefore try a 44 because everyone loves to work on their 9 with a 22.

 

Edit: Glock if you read this I want a 44 but not a 22, that is I don’t want a 22 at all but I want a 44 because I’m already into the 22 and I’d prefer a 44 to a 22. Also please make a 50 that is a 17 22 or a 22 22 and make a 49 that is a 50. Thank you.

Clear as the last inch of camp coffee now.

Now if he could clear up the confusion with Ruger omv and nmv available in 45 long colt and 45 colt.  Maybe get a Noble Peace Prize     GW

I worked for about 10 years part time in a gunshop/range and believe me unless you stay up on the current Glock models it's confusing to say the least. Try explaining it to customers!! Yikes!!

[Smuteye John SASS#24774]

You left out an explanation of the generation thing.

[Old Man Graybeard]

But then...almost everything confuses and confounds G.W....

[Pat Riot]

And now for the sad part...I understood every part of that but what is most disturbing? It made sense to me... 

[DocWard]

Got it, thanks.

Gaston Glock initially  came out with the 17 that held 17 rounds, which made people think that was why it was a 17. Then he marketed the 19, which held 15 rounds. 
The numbers were sequentially in order of their design dates not the number of rounds....... but people were confused. 
Then it got worse.

Abbott and Costello could have made a good run with that one.

If he can clear up Ruger GRIP FRAME differences I'd be amazed.

You missed the Glock 18!!

You missed the Glock 18!! 

The Glock 18 is a fully automatic machine pistol. We all missed it. You cannot buy one in the US. 

[Chili Ron]

Howdy,

That's a big 10-4 and I will stick with my 10/22.

Actually it’s the number of his patents. The G17 was his 17th patent. 
 

From the webs of inter...

 

Never mind. I cannot post links.

There...I fixed it for me.

It’s been many years since Glock Armorers school. I went from memory, not Google.

Yeah...ain’t it great? 

One company with all these variations of one gun design. I think it’s pretty cool.

Everytime I see the 'Glock -Perfection' logo, I look for Glock's rendition of the 1911-A1.

It says “Perfection” not “nostalgic LEGO toy for men”.
