Nice, but I must add that THIRD generation Glocks (not second) incorporate slide rails and finger grasping grooves. The only difference between first and second generations Glock pistols was the texture of the grip itself.

The whole issue behind this is that from the Glock 19 and up, the Glock pistols weren't made with a first generation design, just second and third. This means some choose to label the 2nd Generation models as 1st Generation since technically it is the first of its model's designs and the rail model 3rd generation as a 2nd generation because it is second in line. MT2008 knows his shit, trust me. This whole Generations debate has been going on for a while, but Glock themselves don't designate by Generations, so we are all left to wonder what's truly right. I believe that since from 19 and up there is no 1st generation design, the Generations jump back and the 2nd Gen takes the 1st Gen spot, and the 3rd Gen takes the second Gen spot. As for the Glock 17 and 18 though, they were sold in three generations, so this argument is moot for them. - Gunmaster45

Actually, no, I don't know my shit when it comes to the Glock generations. I've been as confused as anybody, especially since I have heard differing accounts from different people over how the "Generations" stuff applies. Also, I should point out that there are actually three Glock 19 generations. The very earliest Glock 19s didn't have the checkered front straps and backstraps, but those are pretty rare (I heard that there are only a few dozen of them in the U.S.). -MT2008
