1) Didn't it come with the factory fired casings?

2) Are the night sights dim? Half-life of tritium is 10 years or so. Should be half as bright as new.

[jdhaines]

No. He said that they didn't come in the box. If they fire it at the factory then I'm sure it has. I mean it hasn't been fired by a consumer. It looks new, I can't find any marks anywhere. Also... yes the night sites are fairly dim. The lights have to be almost all the way off to see them.

Can't exactly date it. Here's a range of dates:CYG - G-19 - January 1999 - 3rd Gen.
CYN - G-23C - Unknown - 3rd Gen. - 346 25 674 stamped very small inside of slide
CYZ - G-35 - February 1999 - 3rd Gen.
CZA - G-31 - Unknown - - El Salvador, Central America
CZD - G-19 - February 1999 - 3rd Gen.

[Ted W]

Looking at the paper he gave me it either a EYR or Cyr , Not sure now.

But from CYR dates codes it not pre-ban, and can't have 15 round mags unless the guy who sold it was LEO

Here's a couple I didn't see on your list.

Glock 19:

HSUxxx

Date Collected(from little test casing envelope): Dec 05/2005

No US suffix....

[Y-Town]

G19 HVE Test fired Feb07/2006

What does the LCI mean?

[graveman]

LCI = Loaded Chamber Indicator
It is a protrusion on the outside of the extractor. When there is a round in the chamber, it is raised up and out, allowing to be seen/felt so you don't have to "crack" the slide open and look.
All Glocks have had the LCI since late 2002 if I am not mistaken.

Yup, I'm in upstate NY. I don't have the envelope with the cases in it. Didn't get one with my Kahr either. Same FFL (private), but he may keep 'em. I'll ask.

But it's new, new, new, and it's all mine...

I googled around and NY is one of only 3 states that require the cases be sent to the state for inclusion into the Ballistic Fingerprinting Database. You might ask your dealer if he has the envelopes or wrote down the dates.

[Eleventeen]

Has anybody seen an HMF prefix yet?

Bought yesterday, 3rd gen G17. I didn't seen an envelope with casings and I'm sure the guy I bought it from doesn't even know where it is, let alone that it was supposed to come with. I'm at work now but I'll look again when I get home to make sure.

[graveman]

Has anybody seen an HMF prefix yet?

Call Glock, provide the S/N and they will tell you right over the phone. I did all my "not bought new" ones like that. They won't give you the test fire date, just the month and year.

[Eleventeen]

Thanks graveman.

I was thinking about doing that, I didn't sure if you could just call em up and ask for that info by serial. I was actually kind of surprised that there weren't any HMF's listed here.

[Eleventeen]

Well I looked when I got home last night...the envelope was in the bag with all the receipts and paperwork from the store...I dunno why they pulled it out but they did.

Again, G17, 3rd Gen, bought Monday (Feb 27th)

1) You never have scan the entire thread as I keep the first page up to date with postings such as yours.

2) You'll have to contact Glock directly in Austria to find out the manufactured date. We have no additional information than what people post here. Since you are out of the USA, there is no cartridge collection envelope with a test fired date. Sorry, wish I had more info.

3) I'll list your Glock as Unknown date.

4) Thanks, we try :)

1) What does what really mean? Your prefix? Your HCM alpha prefix means it's pretty new. There's one in the DB already dated April 2005.

2) Loaded Chamber Indicator. The extractor has a little bump on the outside that sticks out if a round is chambered.

3) Your Glock is fine.

[Glock39guy]

Thank dmobrien.i have found out that mine is a 2.5 gen with finger grooves and no rail with lci.i got it NIB so im pretty sure its alright.I like it but shouldn't the ones without rails be cheaper than the ones with?Also doesn't all fairly new glocks have the LCI?

1) cost no more to glock to cast a frame with rails as one without. the current ones without rails is because there's not enough room for rails.

2) yes, all newer glocks seem to come with LCI.

[Glock39guy]

That makes perfect sense.If there was a rail there would be no room to put anything without it sticking out quite a bit.

Those were prefixes that I collected at Glockers.com, so I can't really say much on the date, also just got another one... HVV### G-23 3rd Gen Either 12-05 or 01-06. I'm not gonna get on your nerves by posting these everyday, Ill collect a couple weeks at a time and edit out what you already have. Tryin to fill in any gaps you have.

Only what I already have in the database:

FNB - G-19 - July 2003 - 3rd Gen. - LCI Extractor
FNC - G-19 - August 2003 - 3rd Gen.
FND - G-19 - June 2003 - 3rd Gen. - Loaded Chamber Extractor
FNG - G-32 - January 2003 - 3rd Gen.
FNM - G-23 - June 2003 - 3rd Gen.
FNV - G-33 - June 2003 - 2.5 Gen.
FNX - G-37 - March 2005 - - Date not typo, from the cartridge collection envelope!
FNY - G-20 - October 2003 - 3rd Gen.

My guess is June 2003.

"Either"? You have one of each?

[GSD17]

No, just saying that its date falls between the dates of 12-05 or 01-06 according to your list, just not sure which one, he says that the casing envelope says 01-06, but gun may have been made in 12-05 according to what it fits imbetween in your list.

Well, we don't make dates up. We record the test fired date or the date Glock tells folks when they call, or the date we get from TopGlock online dater.... ;P

[GSD17]

Ok well feel free to put whatever you need, I was just narrowing it down as much as possible, the owner of the gun says test casings were 01-06. I just noticed that sometimes they are a little off, but I see what you are getting at. I just put a ? if I don't know the date at all. This one was just close enough to determine that the pistol was manufactured in one of those two months. Gotcha, I am gonna try to point out the need for them to give me a date more. All the others are correct.

Hello. Thank you for your information about all this Glock Born Date. I had purchased my Glock 37 and picked it up 10 days later on March 18th 2006. My serial # is GBH8xx, and it says on the envelope(2 brass) Collected: Jan27/2006. 3rd Generation for sure. Keep up the good work and thanks again. CG13.

It is interesting that the GAPs are so far out of date serial number wise than some of the others. Here's your G37 in the database with its two nearest siblings:
GBG - G-36 - May 2004 - 2.5 Gen.
GBH - G-37 - January 2006
GBK - G-34 - July 2004 - 3rd Gen.

[GSD17]

One thing it could be is that the gun was actually manufactured around the time it SHOULD fit into the list, but wasnt test fired until the date it says because it was not ready to be sold yet.... just a theory. Hmm...

[fisherm]

I just saw an HVD with a date of Jan 2006.
Your list has Feb 2006, so I guess it ranges across both months?


* Serial number Alpha-prefix
HVD

* Glock model
G-19

* Born-on date - date on the envelope
Jan 25/2006

* Generation.

Thanks for a great service.

Except GAP wasn't invented then... :)

My theory is that Glock USA has a bunch of frames in inventory and will grab one when they get slides from Austria and slap one together. They don't always match the time/serial number sequence.

The special guns seem to fall out of order datewise. The Compensated models, some of the 357 models. I'm only a recorder of data, but afterwhile patterns start to emerge.

Hello all. I have been surfing Glocktalk for a couple of years now and have finally taken a minute to join. I have gleaned so much useful info. I would like to thank dmobrien for his work on the Glock serial numbers.

Over the years, I have purchased maybe 20 Glocks (Trying to locate all my receipts for the serials). All either 9mm or 40 caliber. I have finally settled on the 9mm due to its versatility.

I just want to make one note regarding Glock serial numbers. I don't think there will be a "I"-series nor a "J"-series. If you check out all the serials that have been posted since the beginning, none of them contain the letters I, J, O, or Q anywhere in their prefixes. I think this is because, with the exception of "J", the rest maybe mistaken for numbers zero and one. Don't know the reasoning behind the "J".

I will followup this post with the prefixes from all my Glocks.

I have something of an answer for you, but I don't think it'll really clear anything up..... :)

My G19 Cutaway has a serial number prefix of 'JQ' with three numbers (JQ3xx). TopGlocks dating site gives three different dates for it......

And, Just this last January, I got a new G22P (Practise, red handle) and its serial number has a two digit prefix of 'PJ' with four numbers. I'm guessing it was made in late 2005, but don't know.

See? Answers that don't clear anything up! :)

Bought New March 2006

[G19A3]

As promised, here is the following serial number prefixes I have owned. I don’t have any cartridge casing envelopes as that is the first thing I discarded. A few of my guns were already on the list so I didn’t include them. A couple may be already on the list but may have additional info that is not on the list.

BRxxxUS – G-19 – purchased new October 1988 – 2nd Gen. – Trijicon NS, bought two at the same time, sequential serial numbers and paid $489.18 each out the door. Both had a host of problems including one which had a defect causing an AD, no injuries luckily (basic gun handling rules). Both were sent back to Glock, Smyrna, GA. Both replaced under warranty … so I guess Glock found something wrong. VERY early G-19.

GNxxxUS – G-19 – replaced by Glock under warranty – August 1989 - 2nd Gen.

WSxxxUS – G-19 – purchased new December 1991 – 2nd Gen. – Trijicon NS, NY1 trigger

AYTxxxUS – G-23 – purchased new November 1994 – 2nd Gen. – fixed sights, two hi-cap mags (Dawn of the Pre-ban era)

BASxxxUS – G-23 – purchased new November 1994 – 2nd Gen. – fixed sights, one hi-cap mag (Dawn of the Pre-ban era)

BPMxxxUS – G-27 – purchased new October 1995 – fixed sights

BXNxxxUS – G-27 – purchased new July 1996 – Trijicon NS, NY1 trigger

CEHxxxUS – G-17 – purchased new March 1997 – 2nd Gen. – fixed sights, 5lb trigger

CULxxxUS – G-17 – purchased new November 1998 – 3rd Gen. – bought two at the same time, three serial numbers apart, one fixed sights, other Trijicon NS.

DLWxxxUS – G-26 – purchased new April 2000 – fixed sights, finger grooves with checkering

EETxxxUS – G-19C – purchased new December 2001 – 3rd Gen., two pin, fixed sights, Compensated, not affected by frame recall

EHAxxxUS – G-19 – purchased new November 2001 – 3rd Gen., two pin, fixed sights, not affected by frame recall

FRPxxx – G-19 – purchased new September 2005 – 3rd Gen., two pin, adjustable sights, no “US” in serial number, old style serial number plate, new beveled rear of ejection port

HMKxxx – G-19 – purchased new October 2005 – 3rd Gen., three pin, fixed sights, no “US” in serial number, new style serial number plate, new beveled rear of ejection port

HRGxxx – G-19 – purchased new November 2005 – 3rd Gen., three pin, fixed sights, no “US” in serial number, new style serial number plate, new beveled rear of ejection port

Thanks for providing the "born date". The entry with purchased date was a place holder waiting for someone like yourself to provide a date closer than purchase.

The firing pin upgrade is a very old improvement and has been in place a long time, nearly 10 years before your pistol was made.
Glock, Inc. announces a production change of the firing pin safety system. This new firing pin safety system has been installed in all production Glock pistols since November, 1991. A voluntary upgrade is being offered to maintain the Glock tradition of ensuring that all of our pistoils are up to the latest standards in 21st century Goock technology.

Means? Doesn't "mean" anything. Just the sequence number when it was made. From the database above:FNM - G-23 - June 2003 - 3rd Gen.
FNN - G-23 - Unknown - 3rd Gen.
FNV - G-33 - June 2003 - 2.5 Gen.

FPS - G-26 - June 2003 - 2.5 Gen - New Style Box, LCI
FPV - G-30 - June 2003 - 3rd Gen.

The most likely date for its manufacture is June 2003. Just my guess.

From my research, I was under the impression only 3 states collected the fired cartridges, NY, CA, MD. When did MO start? Or is this a St. Louis city thing?

Edit: Not clear CA is in practice at this present time. See post below.

I guess what I meant by "means" was what it meant in regards to date of manufacture. :rollsmiley: Sorry if my choice of words was confusing. Anyway, I plan to call Glock tomorrow and get the scoop. I noticed someone else posted a similar serial number from a G30 a couple pages back so the info may be interesting to him also.
Thanks.

I bought my Glock 37 on March 8th 2006, and I picked up on March 18th 2006. When I got home and opened my Glock Box I found a small brown envelope with two fired cartridges inside. I guess the State Of California doesn't require keeping these spent cartridges, because I sure got mine. I bought my Glock at a very reputable Gunshop/Gunsmith in the SF Bay Area. Semper-Fidelis. CG13.

Now, what's the date on that envelope and what are the first three letters of your G37's serial number? Those are the three things DB needs to enter it into the project.....the prefix, the model number and the date. :)

Yes, I keep waiting for someone to have a later serial number than mine, which is the G-27 HYW. Especially since someone suggested that Glock isn't using serial numbers with I or J.

My G19 is beveled, or radiused. From the top it looks like they just put a radius on the hard corners. But when you look down the whole thing, they actually shaved the sharp corner all the way down the height of the rear face. I will see if my camera can capture the difference and post it later. I have to go eat right now.

I think the Illinois State Police keep the envelope. When I bought my G30 in Illinois, it didn't come with the fired cases either. But then again, that was in 1998. When did Glock start including the fired cases?

I believe only NY and MD keep the collected cartridges. CA has a study regarding the effectiveness, but their DB isn't in place.

As far as when, we'll need Butch or one of the other ol'timers :) to jump in.

Well, my camera sucks. But I think you can still see the bevels. I looked at all of my Glocks. Only the 2nd generation G17L and the G27 which I bought in 1997 are not beveled at all. The rest of my Glocks are 2003 and newer and they all have the bevels regardless of caliber. Except for, get this, the 2004 G29, is only beveled on one side!

Good job, Glocks&Ducs. Your pics may not hve the clarity of Butch's pics, but your pic notes are Butch's style.

Those are the slide bevels I spoke of that Glock retrofitted to older NYPD Glock 19's.

Once again, good job Glocks&Ducs.:beer: :beer: :beer:

Did you buy it new? Did it come with a little brown envelope containing a couple of fired cartridges with the rest of the paperwork? What's the date on that envelope?

Is it OD?

My G-22 is a 3rd generation born in Dec 1999. Ser # DCUxxxxx. I bought it in Sept 2005 in the original case, Factory Reconditioned tag on it, 2 hi cap mags, owners manual, warranty card, lock, & cleaning tools. Back in November I took it to the Glock US HQ in Smyrna, Ga & had Glock night sights & a slide lock extender put on. No other mods have been done.....cause there's nothing else it needs !! I love my G-22 just the way it is !!

thanks for this info !!!!

through it I just found out my 17 should have been turned in 15 yrs ago for a firing pin safety recall. I called Glock today and they said to send it in, they'd do the recall and replace/repair ANYTHING else that was worn etc FREE OF CHARGE !!

you can't beat that deal, that's the best customer service I've had in years... maybe decades...

- 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 2.5 Generation.


I just bought a Glock 26 in Smyrna, GA and it does not have the accessory rail. In fact, none of the subcompacts that were displayed had the rails.

I mean, I got the subcompact because it is very easy to conceal it, but if I were to get a subcompact with rails and buy an accessory, so much for the easy part of concealment. Although, I am sure it would be "nice" to have rails so I can attach my flashlight, laser and/or other little toys to it

Are there any subcompacts that have rails?

Some G30s are now coming with rails (some dispute that this frame is really a subcompact sized frame). No reason a G29 couldn't come with a rail.

However, none of the traditional (G26/27/33/39) sized subcompacts have rails (or will from what I've read since the dust covers are too narrow).

Nope. None in the list.

VF - G-20 - June 1991 - 2nd Gen.
VM - G-20 - June 1991 - 2nd Gen.
VY - G-21 - July 1991 - 2nd Gen.

(BTW: all our numbers are listed, so you can review them directly yourself :rollsmiley: )

yeah, log it. Damn, I just bought the darn thing 2 days ago!! Only paid $399, plus tax! Cant beat that deal....

[CGAR]

think I will buy another next month....just dont know what to get, anyone got any suggestions? Full size, Compact or subcompact?

I got a 23 (2nd Generation) which I bought new in '92 and I just bought a 26. I am thinking about getting a 38, but I want the OD Green.....45 ACP would serve its purpose, I am just not convinced on the .45 GAP. Anyone, anyone...Bueller....? haha.

Oh, a buddy of mine bought a .357 barrel and slid it into the frame of a .40...wow, you can feel the difference. Much more recoil, I dont think I would do that for a compact, but maybe for a full size.

It must have been sitting on the shelf in the safe for 6 months or so because it was not a special order.

After recording enough of these things a pattern emerges. What I was highlighting was that in that alpha serial range, your particular model, G35, had a new BOD by almost a year newer compared to others models with similar alpha prefix.

I can only conclude that Glock keeps a bunch of frames (or just serial numbers) around until they do a run of the odd models (G34/G35/G24/C's, etc).

DM, I think you meant to say the dust cover is not long enough on the true sub-compacts. It's not really a matter of them being too thin, all of the dust covers on Glocks were too thin, before Glock redesigned that part of the gun, on the guns they have done so, in order to accept the rail. :)
