How to Tell When Your Glock Was Made
Glock Serial Number Research Project Show/Hide <-- First time here? Click to get instructions!
This is a database of owner supplied data. If you don't find yours listed, look in your paperwork for the little brown envelope containing two fired casings. What's the date on that envelope? Don't have it? Then please call GLOCK, US Inc. and ask them.
This page was derived from years of work on the Glock Talk forum by the users MakeMineA10mm, Dandapani and GSD17. They obviously put untold hours updating the original threads and it's an amazing compilation.
The purpose of this list is to be a resource for people who wonder what the "born-on" date of their Glock is, and to provide a historical record, which, if ever it is complete enough, can indicate some information about caliber trends, model popularity, production changes, etc.
The Rules...
- It doesn't matter if you have information that is similar to what someone else has. There is a thousand possibilities for each three letter prefix and that doesn't count suffixes. As long as you have different information than what is already existing, please add it. There is no reason to have three entries for SNR*** G-17 with no generation,
- You can decide how much of your serial number you want posted. There are no usernames, IP addresses, or any other possibly personally identifying information I record. What you see is what you get which is all I have.
- When entering the serial put in as much of it you would like to be shown and the system will pad the remainder with asterisks. i.e. If you enter SNR000 it will display as SNR000, but if you enter SNR0 it will display as SNR0** and if you enter SN it will display as SN****.
- Do not use any X's unless that is part of your serial number. Do not put pound/hash marks (#) or spaces anywhere in the serial number. Any of these things will mess up the sorting and display. i.e. if your actual serial number is SNR000 these are Good Entries: SNR000 or SNR0 or SNR and these are Bad Entries: SNR 000 or SNRXXX or SNR###
- Click on Generation and it will pop up a little guide that can help you identify what you have. I will be adding Gen4 info to it shortly.

* Generation. This can be confusing. Please look at the picture below:
- 1st Generation has the smooth, rounded "pebble-grip".
- 2nd Generation has the "Grenade-style" checkering on the front and back strap areas with NO fingergrooves.
- 3rd Generation has BOTH fingergrooves AND accessory rail on the front dustcover.
- 4th Generation has the "RTF3" on the grip sides. - If you have a subcompact (G-26, -27, -28, -29, -30, -33, -36) OR a "transition model" when Glock was putting fingergrooves but no accessory rail, then you have a
. There is even a slight variation here, as some of the earliest G-26 & G-27s had smooth fingergrooves, without checkering in-between the grooves. Some people do not count the sub-compacts as 2.5 Gen since they came out after the 3rd Gen frames were already being made. Note: newer -29, -30 are now coming with rails.

The only Glocks that came with generation 1 frames were models 17, 17L, 18, and a small number of G19's that were cut down from G17 frames.
The first Glocks with the finger groove frames were the G26 and G27.
The first Glocks that were originally made with generation three frames were the G34 and G35.
