These black serial number plates were used in the early Generation 2 Glock 19 pistols in the same serial number ranges as their Generation 1 Glock 17 siblings. Glock pistols have always had two cartouches on the top and bottom of the right side of the grip. Is there a website to check dates of a glock using the serial number? Also trying to confirm a gun is in fact OD from factory. Thanks in advance. Under federal law, a gun manufacturer or importer must engrave or mark every gun it makes with a serial number on the receiver or frame. Law enforcement agents can use the number to determine the owner of the gun or learn if it was reported stolen, but a private individual cannot.

1993, G19 Upgrade Glock Model 19, 9mm Luger caliber, requires an upgrade for all pistols. These pistols have the potential for an UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGE of a cartridge with the action open. The Glock model 19 pistol slide has a bottom protrusion, whose function is to push cartridges from the top of the magazine into the chamber. When the pistol is jammed in a double feed situation, the slide protrusion can come in contact with the primer of the jammed cartridge and cause UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGE while the action is open. 2000, G26/27 Recoil spring upgrade Glock Model 26, 9mm caliber, serial numbers DGU, DHR DKU.

According to, I may be reading the info incorrectly on the site, but if a Glock has an s/n EGN xxxusa, doesn't 'E' indicate month January, 'G' indicate month July and 'N' indicate month March? According to the chart, a March '02 would be marked 'NOKxxxusa'. Am I confused here? If this is merely the month and year numbering conventions reserved for older pistols, can someone please point me to a current numbering convention where I can identify the year manufactured of the pistols I am researching? Thanks all in advance, rad.

- per Glock Cust. Service, Box says gun is a 24-P (P for Ported) which was the predecessor to the 24C (Compensated).
* Generation. This can be confusing.
Need some Glock expert input. Planning on trading tomorrow with a gent for a G36. I'm finding what I find to be less-than-definitive info out there that the gun may have been under recall at some point but I'm not clear on it. Is there a good online reference for serial numbers to get recall, born date, etc. Thought I'd call Glock tomorrow with the serial number (figure they'll tell me anything I need to know?), but they're closed now so thought the resident Glock brain trust would have the answers so I could find out sooner.

Have you wondered how Glocks are Numbered? I have. However, I constantly get asked what I think about the Glock 324B* or some other obscure number
I never bothered to memorize the
Why not put all the 9mm guns in a row, then number by size. Glock 1, 2, and 3 could be the standard, compact, subcompact. Then the 4,5, and 6 could be the .40 S&W guns. Next could come the .45 ACP in the 7, 8, and 9 models.
That would be much easier for me to remember. In contrast, the reason Glock pistols start at 17 is that Gaston Glock had 16 patents before guns. He originally made polymer kitchen utensils before he decided to go after an Austrian military contract for a new pistol.
(* I made that number up. There is not a Glock 324 but I expect some day Glock may make one)
