You'd have to contact Glock for possible history. G-22s are typically LE issue.

TopGlock dates it 9/93.

I'll list it as:

APG - G-22 - September 1993 - 2nd Gen. - NS

Have you thoroughly checked it for LE markings? The other day I was looking at an AUG G17 and I barely caught it's WPD marking. It was on the inside bottom of the magazine well. I have heard of others being marked at the bottom of the trigger guard. I would think most agencies would mark their guns somehow.

Here are two more for the list, an early 2nd Generation Glock 17 and a fairly late 2nd Generation Glock 19:

"HZ " - Glock 17 - November 1989 -- 2nd Generation

"CFT" -- Glock 19 -- May 1997-- 2nd Generation

Both dated by Glock, Inc. Warranty in Smyrna, Ga.:beer:

Why don't you? Look in your paper work. Should be a little brown envelope with some fired cartridges. What's the date on that envelope? Yours should be brand-new.

HWC - G-27 - February 2006
HWN - G-17 - February 2006 - 3rd Gen.
HWR - G-19 - February 2006 - 3rd Gen.
HWT - G-19 - March 2006 - 3rd Gen.

HXNxxx | G-29 with rail | Casing envelope dated February 24th, 2006

[Masque]

Sub-Compact Glocks (G-26, -27, -28, -29, -30, & -36) are always Gen 2.5, as they have finger grooves but no rails. 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...To clarify my above HXNxxx G29 sighting, it's a true third-generation. Finger grooves, rail. Didn't mean to leave "3rd gen" out of the posting; thought the "with rail" would imply it.

So, to make it doubly clear: HXNxxx, G29, 3rd generation (rail, finger grooves), casings dated 24 February 2006. :)

[graveman]

Picked one up used/LNIB this morning; it's already in the database but I'll give it a second vote :supergrin:

FRR - G19 - August 2003 - 3rd Gen, LCI, no "US" suffix

He's not BS-ing. The 2006 product catalog does show both a G29 and a G30 with rails. The "true" subs G26, G27, G33 and G39, as well as the G36, are not pictured with rails. I have seen a G30 with rails at a local shop.
Also in the back of the Glock 2006 Annual, the G29 and G30 have rails.

Thanks. G30's have been being listed with rails for awhile (and discussed in GG). I was happy to see the G29's coming with rails.

And I agree with your assessment about "true" sub-guns. The G30 and G29 are a different breed of sub-compacts, being wider. I'm glad the "true" subs don't have rails. Just more plastic to conceal. :)

Well, if you want to get technical it's a 3.5. The first sub-compacts were 2.5 as they had no rails but finger grooves, albeit smooth ones. The gen3 sub-compacts had no rail with checkered finger grooves, and this is where the G30/G29 started life, at Gen3. Then they added the rail to the G30/G29, making them 3.5's, in my opinion.

TG doesn't date the "C" models. 6/1997 is for a "G23" non-"C" model with serial prefix CGY. I'll record it, but not post your date.

You would have to call Glock to verify what happened when on the replacement.

From the database:ERX - G-22 - Unknown - 3rd Gen. - Not affected by Frame Recall
ERZ - G-22 - February 2002 - 3rd Gen. - Frame Recall

I would say February 2002.

Topglock's dating tool only has the option to select G19 with serial number range "FA" and puts the date at 5/1989 which can't be right. Anyone have a date for this?

As stated in the first post on this thread, TG (and others) only date through DXZ.

The list has an FAY, but unknown:
FAX - G-19 - September 2002 - 3rd Gen.
FAY - G-19 - Unknown - 3rd Gen.
FAZ - G-21 - October 2002 - 3rd Gen.

That puts yours in the Sept/Oct 2002 range.

You'd have to call Glock to get it more official.

So the database says the ERX was not affected by the frame recall then it says that frame recalls will have a 1 preceding the first three letters of the serial number, which the gun I am referring to does. Now I am confused. Maybe it was changed in the factory before being sold?

[GSD17]

From the original title in this thread -


It appears that only serial numbers starting with "E", "GSSF", or "USA" (American Hero’s Commemoratives) are affected. In general, the chronological serial number set that has the prefix letters of "EKA" through "EVR" inclusive appear to be the affected Glocks, regardless of caliber.


Just call Glock man, they will tell you exactly what happened I am sure.

Follow GSD's advice above. A lot of the data collected in the E-range was before my time so I can't say for sure where it came from.

If the serial on the slide is "ERX000" and the serial on the frame is
"1ERX000" then you have a pistol that was affected by recall, and the frame has already been replaced by Glock. A telephone call to Glock should answer all your q's.

I called Glock today and indeed the frame was replaced. It was replaced in 2003. A dealer sent it back before it was ever sold. It was born in 2002. So, page one is incorrect - the ERX was effected by the frame recall.

Did you buy it new?

Did your dealer happen to tell you the date on the cartridge collection envelope (little brown envelope) before he snatched it away for ballistic fingerprinting?

Can you call him and ask before he sends it off?

I found me a 2nd generation G-19 today. This thing is like new. I swear there can't have been more than 50 rounds put through this thing, that is how great it looks. Nothing special about it that I can see, except it has true pre-ban 15 round mags and the tupperware box has more holding spots inside than my newer tupperware boxes. $349.99 out the door it set me back. I am a happy camper right now, and it's not even on the list yet. According to the surrounding numbers and the Ptooma guide, it hails from Oct 93.

APU - G-19 - October 1993- 2nd generation

The serial number is also somewhat significant because one of the engines I worked on in the Marine Corps are of the APU type. Auxiliary Power Unit. Just a little bit of trivia for you Glock&Ducs fans out there.:clown:

Another thing I just noticed. The magazine loader is completely slick with only a small Glock symbol at the top, unlike the newer ones that are textured on the sides and have the Glock symbol on the side along with a part number.

In my best opinion from the data in the database, I would say yours was made March 2001. Call Glock to find out for sure.

ECA - G-31 - May 2001 - 3rd Gen. - No Frame Recall
ECB - G-20 - Unknown - 3rd Gen.
ECG - G-19 - Unknown - 3rd Gen. - No Frame Recall
ECH - G-20C / G-29/ G-32C - March/April 2001 - 3rd Gen. - Not affected by Frame Recall
ECK - G-21 - March 2001
ECS - G-23 - Unknown - 3rd Gen. - No Frame Recall
ECT - G-23C / G-34 - June 2001 - 3rd Gen. - No Frame Recall

I don't know if you guys have seen the topglock dating system in it's latest form. When I used it before, I had to send them an e-mail and they returned it with my date for the serial number. Now, you can look up your number yourself on their system. They don't have an ECR but they do have an ECP, and it shows a date of 05/1993. Sooo...???

Doesn't sound right.

May 1993 is in this range:

AKX - G-17 - May 1993 - 2nd Gen. - polygon stamped next to glock logo on barrel
ALC - G-20 - May 1993 - 2nd Gen.
ALD - G-21 - May 1993 - 2nd Gen. - Begin 15o Extractor cut this model


Looks like ECP is a quirk in their prefix pattern. There are others, EMM. Generally, they date 3 alpha digits reliably through DXY.


At one point TG contacted me to feed them the dates from our GSN database. I sent them a trial set of data and never heard back from them.

[ggevans_2]

Thanks for your help guys! I found the 1993 entry. The pistol is definately a third generation. And I purchased it within the last several years. My main concern was the frame recall issue. I didn't have resources to provide me with a serial range and was curious. I guess I need to contact Glock. Thanks again for your help!

My guess is that there's a stack of inventory laying around, and they get pulled as needed. The order isn't maintained whatever the process they use. Some sequences are months out of date, especially long guns and compensated guns.

Nice observation, I've noted it.

I've wondered if the frame serial number plate can be attached after the frame is made -OR- whether the serial number can be engraved after the frame is made?

Perhaps "blank" serialized frames are stacked in the USA waiting for the serialized slide and barrel from Austria.

Would it be possible for you to post a pix of the right hand side of the grip area showing this? I think this is a first! There was one other HRC G-17 posted in the GSN list, but no mentioned of the lack of "made in Austria".

[nugentjeep45]

That isnt my gun, it is another members gun, but it is a HRC G17. There doesnt seem to be a clear pattern of that sized frame being non-Austrian yet, because I bought a HYS G22 just the other day, and it is an Austrian frame.

[Dandapani]

nugentjeep45 & GSD17, thanks. I missed the other post about Ducati's G17.

GSD', is there a clear pattern of Glock doing anything? :rollsmiley:

I'll fall back to my standard "stockpile" answer. :cool:

[GSD17]

Yeah, I figure the same thing, thats why some of the casing fire dates are so far out of order.

Please check right hand side, upper grip.

Is it marked "Made In Austria" or just "Glock Inc, ...." (see picture above).

[A_Fletcher]

It says "Made In Austria" on the first line, and then under that it says "GLOCK INC. Smyrna, GA"

Thanks for confirmation.

It's a mystery why some of the "H" frames are USA made and the "K" frames aren't...

Thank you very much.

This is BRAND NEW (i.e., the latest serial number prefix).

3rd gen.

If you're in the USA, what state are you in? Most include and do not require the dealer to pull, the little brown envelope in your paperwork that contains two fired cartridge casings. What's the date on that envelope?

Otherwise, you have to call Glock, Austria(?) to find out exactly when it was made.

[Sturmgewehr44]

Im in California and I have to wait the 10day waiting period in CA. So, I don't have the envelope with me for another 10 days. The gun is 100% paid for, this state just has a communist 10 day waiting period, even for cops!

I just know what the serial number is....

As soon as I get the envelope, I'll post it here. I get to pick it up on June 23rd.

Thanks.

You should be able to call your dealer and have them read you the date before the 10 day period. Congrats on the new gun!

That's why I don't trust the dates. Years, but not months anyway. Just because there is a date on the envelope doesnt mean that that is when it was manufactured. Simply when it was test fired. Say they make 1000 G17s and 1000 G20s.. the G17s in Feb, the G20s in Jan... The G17s may have an earlier date than the G20s simply because more are ordered and fired. This is my theory anyway, there are just way to many disputes with the dates for me... some give envelope dates, some give purchase dates, some give Glock's manufacture date.... But that's just me, not my list... this list is still a great source of information! I just don't trust the months is all. I actually run a similar list (borrowed the idea from dm) over at glockers.com, and I gave up trying to get months. I really only concern myself with the first 3, model, year produced, and any recalls or neat info. My hat is off to everyone involved in this project and I encourage everyone to list their pistols. I have my 5 in here :D Sorry for the one long retarted paragraph :X

We all already know that. At the beginning of this thread, it was agreed upon that the envelope would be used as the "born on date". The test firing for the most part is the "born on date". It's not the day of manufacture. I don't think even Glock can give you that, as they don't bother to keep track. That is why Glock can't give you a manufacture or born on date, if the gun was bought outside of the US. We are the only ones that do the test fire/case collection envelopes.

I'm not sure how large or small the dealer is in absolute terms since I got it from him at a show, but he was probably one of the larger dealers at the show.. had quite a spread.

Have there been any changes to the G26 since March of 2005? I know about the 6-part upgrade from way back, but I just want to make sure I got the latest of everything out now in this new piece. :clown:

I imagine it has LCI and the new slick finish. My personal G26 is GEY and has these features. My mag followers are marked just "9mm" with no "-" designation. What are yours?

Yep, mine does have the LCI. The finish is WAY slicker/shinier than my G22, but I wasn't sure if it was just made that way or if it was due to wear (my G22 was born in '93 and was a police trade-in). I really like this new finish!

My mags are #5 followers and are also marked "9mm".


The G26 is one of the finest 9mm I've ever shot (at least in my hands :)

Very little use, barrel O.D./inside of slide still black. Austrian proof marked. Locking block, trigger bar, connector all black. Tupperware box, no label, with little fingers inside for holding ammo. Unmarked mag loader. Cleaning rod, no brush.

The post in the middle of the box has two "fins" on it. One of the fins will press directly on the trigger, the other on the inside of the trigger guard. 1.5 to 2 inches of plastic on left side of carrying case that would normally cover the muzzle is broken away! Did someone drop the case, OR did it go bang when they put the pistol in the case?

HHW is a late model Glock. If you are in the USA, then you can call Glock USA in Smyrna and they can tell you, or, in most states, included with the paper work is a small manilla envelope containing two spent cartridges. There's a date on that envelope.

Otherwise, the GSN database lists the following serial numbers close to yours:

GxxxUS - First Generation 17 (no stippling). I don't know the year. I noticed there weren't any "plain" G SN's listed so I thought I would add one. Thanks

Just "G" is not a standard serial number (G followed by number and not one or two letters), but is usually reserved for replacement frames.

What is the alpha serial prefix on the barrel and slide? Do they match the frame?

And, more important, what's the serial number on the slide and barrel?

Are you sure the frame is first generation?

The slide is different, SXXX. I don't remember the barrel having a number, I'll check. I'm sure it is a 1st generation frame.

Interesting. I knew the frame was a replacement, but apparently the slide is also.....and maybe the barrel.

From The Glock Faq:
"Why does my frame/slide/barrel have a G#### / S#### / L#### serial number?
Replacement frames slides and barrels have special serial numbers. The serial number consists of a single letter followed by 4 digits:
G#### for replacement frames
S#### for replacement slides
L#### for replacement barrels

The prefixes seem to fit with the German translation of the part they represent:
G = Griffstück (frame)
S = Schlitten (slide)
L = Lauf (barrel)"

If the barrel doesn't have a serial number on it, it would also be a 'replacement' - I have a couple of unnumbered G17 barrels. All first generation Glocks would have a two letter prefix as part of the serial number.

If none of those three parts have such a number, it would be highly unusual as far as I know.....a whole Glock made of replacement parts, but entirely possible. But I would guess that it's not impossible for it to be a 'lunch pale' gun too.

Please post all the serial numbers and I'll list in in the special section. If you feel the need, anonymize the last two digits.

G12xx - frame
S34xx - slide
L56xx (or) Unnumbered - barrel

Yours is truly unique if it is an all "parts" gun.

[SDM]

Oh, it gets better.

The trigger is the "target trigger". I knew the numbers didn't match and pointed out the trigger when I bought the gun. I didn't know they were all replacements though. I bought it to shoot so I'm not concerned, just interested.

Ok, excuse the parts ignorance... the portion of the trigger bar that sits horizontal in the frame, has a "+" on it. What does this mean? The connector itself is a 5.5 lb.

I think I know, but what do you mean by "lunch pale"?

Thanks, Butch

dmobrien2001,
I'll get the numbers together and post them later. I don't have anything with me now. Maybe try to get some pics too.

A small number of early G19's require the use of a special trigger bar with a higher 'kick up' (the rear part of the cruciform) to get sufficient engagement with the firing pin lug and those bars are marked with the '+' sign.

It's probable that whoever assembled the gun wanted the grooved trigger and didn't know what the '+' trigger bar was for. It's also possible that someone who did know what he was doing needed the extra kick up to solve an engagement problem.

Yup, it means that it walked out of the building in the lunch pale, possibly one or two parts at a time.

I'm pretty sure that couldn't happen today, but I'm not at all familiar with the plant security of twenty years ago.

I would encourage the OP to call Glock and get the story about the replacement frame. When made, when and to whom it was shipped, etc.

Just purchased a Glock 27 with a KCM serial #, I just have to wait for my concealed weapons amendment to come back and I'll be picking her up. Any idea when it was manufactured? I don't see any KCM's on the list.

I should be getting it mid next week...takes 3-5 business days to get the amendment back.

Call the dealer and ask them about the little brown envelope containing the fired cartridge casings before he sends them off to the state police or whomever collects those in NY. There's a date on the envelope.

Otherwise, your K series G-27 is one of the latest:

KCA - G-22 - May 2006
KCE - G-23 - May 2006

No pictures yet but just imagine a 1st generation 17 with mismatched numbers.

It's probable that whoever assembled the gun wanted the grooved trigger and didn't know what the '+' trigger bar was for. It's also possible that someone who did know what he was doing needed the extra kick up to solve an engagement problem.

I replaced the trigger with a smooth one and everything seemed to function ok. I'll try to shoot it this weekend.

Thanks fellas.

I updated the "special" serial number section in the top post.

Some special and commemorative serial numbers that don't fit the general pattern:

G0XX - G-17 - Unknown - 1st Gen. - Complete parts gun, replacement frame, replacement slide - S6XX, replacement barrel - No number

Well, I traded-in my old 23 last night, and got one of the new gen models... and this is what the envelope says for my NEW 23:
Caliber: .40
Model: G27
Serial# KDWxxx
Date Collected: Jun 19/2006

and here's the two of them...

I already posted this particular gun for the thread. But I thought I would point something out I never noticed before. I was taking a picture for another thread, and while reviewing the picture, I noticed that my 2nd generation G22 does not say "MADE IN AUSTRIA".

Originally posted by tOnz

:) HSFxxx is the serial number.

At any rate, the easy answer is that it's a genration 3, they don't make Gen's 1 and 2 anymore, and your's is a very recently made gun.

If it's a subcompact model (like a G26) and doesn't have the rails on the bottom front of the frame to mount a light on, some might call it a generation 2.5.

I have a G22 with the ENC prefix which shows data missing in your listing

G22, ENCxx7 has a third gen frame and second gen slide (no LCI and older smoother grayish finish).

This frame is affected by the recall and upon replacement includes a 1US prefix prefix to indicate the replaced frame and maintain the BBL serial matching.

That is brand new. Look in your "paper work" that came with the pistol. It should have a little brown envelope containing fired cartridge casings. What's the date of the envelope?

ETA: The last one in the database is:KES - G-19 - July 2006 - - 1 and Pentagon on barrel so yours has to be even newer than it!
