    Remembering Glock model numbers

    Is there a trick to remembering Glocks model/size/caliber. I have a 17 and seem to remember the 9mm models (17/19/26) but always get the rest mixed up. And dont get me started with the "L" or "C" or "SF". So....... do you guys have an easy way to remember them all.

    I make the assumption that they are all in .40 cal, therefore model #'s don't matter!

      I was told the model number is how many Patents that particular gun had. I have no idea though.

        I think you gotta divide the model number by pi.

          Sure. Just memorize the order in which each pistol version was patented or introduced. The G-17 was GLOCK Industries' first handgun and their 17th patent. The G18 was next with full auto for counter-terrorism squads. The 19 followed for concealability. G20 and G21 brought out 10mm and .45. I think now that they simply number as introduced.

            Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                I have them tattooed on my neck, although in hindsight I should have had them done backwards so when I look in the mirror...

                    There is no reason to know numbers other than 17.

                        I just glance at the slide real quick, ok got it. Mine says 23 but it's a 19. Thinking about a 21sf, shot one at the Gstore.

                          i'm a fan of the G17 and would elaborate further with 'Gen 2 G17.' i'm also a fan of the Gen 2 G19 and the G26. i know and remember all of these numbers well.

                            It's so easy:

                            sub-compact brick

                            compact brick

                            fullsize brick
