Forget it guys, I looked back to page two and found the answers to my question. Thanks. I had three 2nd generation Glocks before, a 19, 22 and 23, but sold or traded them all a few years ago. I've decided to start playing around with them again, so I traded for a G17 tonight, and I'm getting my old G19 back this weekend from the friend I traded it to. The G17 I got tonight is in excellent condition, and I was told that it is a PD trade-in, but it appears to be practically new. He only has one mag with it, and it's a NFML mag. I know you can tell a 3rd generation Glock by the finger groove grip and the equipment rail. But, what's the difference between a 1st and 2nd generation gun? |
I was close. |
Yes. However don't switch frames(receiver) to different calibers unless you know what you are doing. i.e. Using a 1st gen G17 receiver with any G22 40S&W upper(and trigger mech housing) would more then likely crack the receiver, where as using a 3rd gen G17(3 pin) receiver with any full size 40 or 357SIG upper(and trigger mech housing) is ok. |
NICE! |
