[Dandapani]

New listing Dandapani:

LVX - G19 - February 2008 - 3rd Gen. - Blue Label, 3 15rd Mags, Trijicon night sights

I couldn't believe my eyes - consecutive serial numbered G19s! First one received 3-6-08 and today's (3-29-08). Both spent shell envelopes 2-1-08, both list technician as Betty Walton.

So you bought two G19's at different times and now have a consecutive pair? Wow.

[f.2]

So you bought two G19's at different times and now have a consecutive pair? Wow.

The gun store called an Arizona dealer - Davidsons - for my orders. There was a problem reading the fax of my retired military ID on the first purchase so I got Davidson's phone number and got the guys e-mail and sent in a scan (his name is Dane). LE G19s were out of stock for my second purchase. I called him again and had to e-mail him my ID again. I'll call him Monday to thank him, but I think he hooked me up!

LXV 3rd gen 23 regular sights and 2 13 rd mags. Shot casing says 2/19/08

[Chigurh]

Just picked up a G33. # GKA+++ . It was used (very little) had most of the stuff that comes in the case, but not the shell and packet, so not SURE of date, but it must shoehorn in with the GHZ number listed for G33 production in July of 2004.

[P89Jeeper]

This is in the first post and it says that the first letter is the month and the last two are the year. Well, mine is LXV and the L is correct, since the fired casing says 2/19/08. But X and V aren't on this list, why is this?
The 3 letters represent the barrel test fire date code:

The first letter is for the month:
E...Jan
L...Feb
N...Mar
B...Apr
S...May
Z...Jun
G...Jul
P...Aug
I...Sep

V...Nov
A...Dec

The last two letters are for the year:

Only European Glocks have BARREL TEST FIRE DATE CODES.

Your serial number, "LXV", on your USA Glock cannot be decoded using the barrel date codes. We rely on the fired casings envelope or a phone call to Glock in Smyrna.

Yup. But I list it as "Unknown" since we don't have any confirmation on the date by fired casings envelope or phone call to Glock.

Are you sure the date on the little brown envelope containing two fired cartridge casings is FEB 2007? Or did you call Glock. Glock quotes the "import" date which can be a bit earlier than the test fired date. Thanks. I will list yours along with where the date came from. Thanks!

[saunderscc]

Yeah I checked this time before posting. It reads FEB 2007. If the database already has the serial number then it must have been me before a while back and used May since that is when I bought the G26. Sorry again. It would appear that that is twice I messed up your database. Just trying to right a wrong. :supergrin: Hopefully by the time I buy another Glock, I will have this down and get it right on the first post.

I bought a G27 approx 10 yrs ago, if not longer than that.

The three letter SN is BGL. I could not find this series on the 1st page of this thread.

Its probably 1st gen of 27's; it has smooth finger grooves.

Any ideas of its date of birth?

Thanks

Of course, you can call Glock to get the exact date, but from our records I estimate it at: March 1995.

Note, yours would be the earliest G-27 we would have in our database. I suggest you call Glock and get a confirmed date!!!

We have a BMY that is marked as first production G-27. So your serial number precedes it.

Is this brand new? You should have the paperwork in hand. Little brown envelope. Containing two fired casings. Date on that envelope?

It is brand new. I just put it aside at a local shop - I have not looked at the casing envelope. I will amend as soon as I can.

Blue label usually means LEO/Gov't sales - which means it comes with 3 standard capacity magazines.

Red label indicates standard capacity mags.

White label indicates 10 round or under mags.

Again, these are not set in stone.

yes. I bought it brand new yesterday morning. The box was still sealed with a red sticker from Glock. I didn't want the one in the display case since everyone had racked the slide and dry fired it.

JQ - G-23 - Unknown - 3rd Gen - Cutaway, 3 pin frame, with manual dated Jan '06 in new style box marked "CUTAWAY, 1 HI CAP". Gun is marked "Made in Austria". No Glock trademark on bbl, packaged with 1 FML magazine. Purchased new on 18 Apr 08. Slide is finished in the "slick" black overcoating as opposed to the older rough black finish.

Based on the fact that this gun is packaged in a new box with a new manual, is a 3rd gen with the newer style finish and has some new style parts (LCI), it seems likely that Glock marks all their cutaways with JQ serial numbers regardless of manufacture date. The cutaway guns should probably be removed from date list and added to the "special and commemorative serial numbers that don't fit the general pattern". Perhaps the first cutaway guns fell naturally into the Nov 1989 date slot and Glock made the JQ serial numbers a standard for cutaways from that point on.

[Dandapani]

it seems likely that Glock marks all their cutaways with JQ serial numbers regardless of manufacture date.

Here is a good example of a needed duplicate. We already had an LLS, but it was a G-35 from January. Then this G-34 is posted with a March test fired date from the cartridge casing envelope.


LLS - G-35 - January 2008 - 3rd Gen.
LLS - G-34 - March 2008


It is not all unusual to have a date spread on these unique models. I can only assume Glock has frames sitting around on a shelf, and as orders come in for them, they pull together a unit and test fire it. Who knows.

Thanks, never fear. Post away. I can sort through them. All the ones we have are on the first page of this thread. I keep it up to date!

Interesting that the mags on the G-17 are ambi. I think it was last year our European Glock owners were reporting ambi G-17s.

[ortizt]

DZG - Standard Glock 36, .45 ACP Bought it used, but previous owner included receipt for replacement recoil assembly dated 3/4/2002. Case is square with Tupperware-syle lid, not the current hinge-style hard case with handle. I'm guessing it's generation 2.5 (finger grooves, no accessory rail). But, that's how Glock shows the current G36 on their Web site.

KPN G20 OD with cartridges collected 08/30/2007 NIB, but post shows KPN - G-35 - November 2006 - 3rd Gen. - OD, GSSF Purchase Program. Please explain.

The date on the envelopes indicates only when the pistol was test fired - it is possible that your G20 was only recently assembled in Smyrna. I honestly think that the OD G20 is a low demand item and am not surprised at the "off" collection date - nothing to worry about at all.

KPN G20 OD with cartridges collected 08/30/2007 NIB, but post shows KPN - G-35 - November 2006 - 3rd Gen. - OD, GSSF Purchase Program. Please explain.

What to explain? Glock keeps a stock of these odd ball pistols around (OD, G20,34,35, etc.) and pulls them off the shelf when an order comes in, test fires them, and ships them out. So you find a range of dates and models for a given alpha prefix. Lots and lots of examples in the data.

Mainstream models, G-17,19,23,22,26,27, BLACK, tend to roll off sequentially. The other models trickle out in odd, random order.

Hi all,

Just picked up a used 2^nd Gen G19 that is in the ALW range of serial numbers which leads me to think the think that the July 1993 block started there instead of the with the ALX that is listed!

No one knows anything that isn't already posted on the first page. We don't hold back information. :wavey:

My guess is Sept 1993:

AND - G-17 - August 1993 - 2nd Gen.
ANL - G-19 - September 1993 - 2nd Gen.
ANN - G-19 - September 1993 - 2nd Gen.
ANX - G-17 - October 1993 - 2nd Gen.

Let me know how close I come.

[SheepDog68]

Block? :rofl:

When dealing with serial numbers a given section of numbers is usually know as a block of numbers. Many times different blocks are assigned to different manufactures or different plants! Many times a given quantity of numbers will not be used even when assigned due a war ending or other economic factors that affect the manufacturer.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o:p></o:p><!--[endif]-->
In this case however the different blocks of serial numbers where assigned to different models of guns within a given month for a given year. While there are other fairly standard ways of keeping track of such things, doing in this manner is not unusual!

I knew the meanng of block, but your definition of standardizing models on serial numbers is NOT something I have observed with Glock. Sometimes certain alpha prefixes are OD or special models like 17L, but I would not want to predict anything. Semi-random seems to best describe the alpha prefix assignment at Glock. :wavey:

Look in your paperwork. There should be a little brown envelope containing two fired cartridge casings. What's the date on the envelope?

LNY on barrel should match the gun serial number (frame) and slide serial number.

The "1" indicates the new G-19 barrel design (to prevent the NYPD Phase 3 lockup). The pentagon is just a proof mark.

No need for pix. "PTT" is the test fired date code. It tells us when the barrel was, uh, test fired. It gives us a date in time.

P = Aug
T = 8
T = 8

LEU and DYC

Need more info.

DYC - G-?? - Unknown
LEU - G-?? - Unknown

For the DYC, we already have a G-22:

DYC - G-22 - Unknown - 3rd Gen.

but the date is unknown. If you have the test fired date (and model) that would help improve our data.

I already have an LEU:

LEU - G-22 - June 2007 - 3rd Gen.

If yours isn't a G-22, then that would be new data in the list.

Thanks for your support!

Interesting. Is the box marked somehow with WM?

Looks like it sat around in their system awhile:

ADW - G-21 - September 1992 - 2nd Gen.
AEF - G-19 - Unknown - 2nd Gen. - FS, bought new from WalMart in Dec of 93
AEG - G-17 - October 1992 - 2nd Gen.

Didn't see my serial range in the 3-letter blocks. Gun is serial'd DFRxxxUS, I'm guessing this gun was made in mid to late 1999? There is a DFP code, which would be shortly before DFP, eh?

What model is yours? Yes, for the regular run models, they tend to run sequentially.

Box not marked, but receipt is:supergrin:. It is possible it sat in an inventory room for a while. I worked at WalMart and managed to buy a dusty covered boxed up Franchi 48 AL Supergrade for 260 bucks. It was about 7 years old at the time. I thought it was a deal at the time but then about 4 years later I saw the same gun used for close to 600. :wow::wow: I made a comment to the seller and he got mad. He claimed I was lieing.
I bought that gun actually for my Pa in law as a peace offering to marry his daughter. Must of worked, we've been together for 18 years now.

Anybody know when prefix KEW made? It's a G 21. 3rd gen.

Call Glock, no one has reported a KEW prefix G21 to date so no one knows for sure - except Glock. If you have the little brown envelope with the test casings, that will tell you as well.

Odd to be so far back and yet, May 2008.

Is the frame not marked "MADE IN AUSTRIA?

[Dandapani]

As stated by another poster, we don't have dates. We RECORD dates from owners. Call Glock.

For an estimate, I put it around July 2006. Tell me how close I come when you call Glock.

KET - G-19 - July 2006 - 3rd Gen.
KEV - G-19 - July 2006
KFA - G-22 - July 2006

I have a bid in on this pistol at GunBroker. I saw the prefix and thought someone may know. Just sent question off to seller of pistol about manufacture date. If he doesn't know... I'll call Glock with S/N and post my findings. Thanks for your time and help.:highfive:

If someone knew, they would have posted it and I would have listed it. Still, the others around it should give a pretty good indication when it was made. Some non-mainstream models (G35,34,29,32,36,...) may fall out of step with the mainstream models (G22,17,21,26,27,etc.)/

Under ATA you have ATA - G-24 - December 1993 - 2nd Gen. - First G-24

However, the ATA is currently in my hand and its a 17L - 2nd generation

The serial number is properly affixed on all three major parts.

Standard Glock sights, standard mag release and slide stop.

Actual date is unknown

Once again, the Alpha Prefix does not set the model. Many different models can have the same alpha prefix.

Interesting. The 24 is basically a 40 LONG, like the 17L is a 9mm LONG. :rofl::wavey:

I will duly record yours along with the other. Thanks for posting.

Call Glock tomorrow as no one has ever reported that prefix before you.


Also, patience is a virtue.
