Fire Modes: Semiautomatic (Semiautomatic/Full-Automatic on Glock 18 Machine Pistol)
Glock 17
Note: When adding pictures of Glock 17s to movie/TV/video game pages on IMFDB, please use the image of the correct model. When in doubt, keep in mind that the 3rd Generation model was introduced in the late-1990s, so any Glock 17s that appear in movies prior to this time are inevitably going to be the 2nd Generation or even the 1st Generation models. Also note that in some cases Glock 17's are used to impersonate the Glock 18, converted to fire full auto. See the Glock 18 section below for more information.

The Glock 18 is a select fire version similar in size to the Glock 17 chambered for 9x19mm.
NOTE: There are a number of movies - such as The Dark Knight - which use Glock 17s that have been converted to automatic as stand-ins for the Glock 18. If you are in doubt a Glock machine pistol is a genuine Glock 18, look at the slide. Unlike other Glock variants, it has a switch on the slide used to select semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing. The selector somewhat resembles a decocking safety. Any full-auto Glock that lacks this selector is going to be one of the converted Glock 17s, not a genuine Glock 18.
The Glock 22 is a full sized pistol chambered for .40 S&W. Many American law enforcement agencies use this model, for example, FBI Academy graduates are issued this or a Glock 23 (according to the agent preference) as their standard field weapon. It is also the standard weapon of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) along with the Glock 23, Glock 27, and the SIG Pro SP 2340. US Marshals also carry the Glock 22 and Glock 23 as their service weapons for all Deputy US Marshals. In 2008 the Glock 22 became the standard service weapon for all probationary LAPD officers, once they complete probation these officers then have a choice to either stay with their Glock 22 or go with some other weapon on the LAPD approved carry list.
NOTE: Although the Glock 22 is an issue weapon for the FBI, this does not mean that characters who are FBI Agents in movies or TV shows necessarily use them. Hollywood's propmasters and armorers preferred, until recently, to use 9x19mm pistols, due to the difficulties of converting larger calibers to blank-fire. Consequently, there are almost no Glock 22s in movies or TV shows; if a character is supposed to be an FBI Agent, it is most likely that they are using a Glock 17, standing in for the Glock 22. IMFDB members have frequently made the assumption that any Glock used by an FBI Agent in a movie must be a .40-caliber model, even though (it bears repeating) the weapons used in movies do not always correspond to the weapons used by a particular law enforcement agency in real life. Unless you have good evidence, do not assume that a Glock pistol is a .40-caliber model, simply because the FBI uses this weapon in real life. When in doubt, it is usually safer to assume that the Glock in question is a 9mm model.
The Glock 23 is a compact pistol chambered for .40 Smith & Wesson. Like the Glock 22, it is an issue weapon to the FBI.

Unlike other Glock pistols, due to the weaker pressures of the .380 ACP cartridge, both the Glock 25 and the subcompact Glock 28 operate via straight blowback.
These pistols are quite common in Latin American countries that forbid their citizens to own firearms chambered in 9mm (such as Brazil and Mexico).
A "G33AV" (AdVanced), a fictional variant which features a slightly lengthened barrel housed inside a compensator/barrel weight with an accessory rail, and an extended magazine well in order to comfortably accept full size G31 magazines is seen
