Im kind of new to handguns and like the title says, what are the major differences between all of the glocks (17,19, etc.)? I currently own a xd-40 and my next handgun will likely be a glock and I'm just curious about your opinion. Thanks guys

Glock was crafted by God, and the others by man.Comment

And glocks differ from other guns in a number of ways. Most notably in- grip angle,
- thickness of the grip,
- the standard sights supplied
- materials (polymer/plastic frame)
- trigger feel

.380, 9mm, .357Sig, 40S&W, .45GAP, .45ACP, 10mm
Subcompact, Compact, Service/standard, Match, Automatic (yes, Glock makes a machine-pistol).
So mix and match those 5 classes with those 7 calibers and you end up with a few combinations Glock doesn't make.
The G26 is the 9mm subcompact. G27 is the .40S&W, identical dimensions. These are the "Baby Glocks"
The G30 is a subcompact .45ACP. It's slightly larger than the 26/27, smaller than a 1911 Officer's, and holds 10 rounds in it's standard CA or free-state configuration.
And contrary to the "Gangsta Movies".... there is no "Glock Fo-Tay"

"Glock Fo-Tay" is reference to a GLOCK .40 S&W, or in street terms: GAAT.

No problem, glad to help.
I have a theory that a "gat" is actually the acronym for the tactical cap-popping system G.A.T.: Gun at Tilt.Comment

Can we buy the glock 35? Your link describes it as competition. Based on my limited experience, that means banned here in CA.Comment
