Glock: Glock Model
built 663 days ago
Glock has been a well trusted pistol manufacturer since 1963. While the company may have started by producing curtain rods, it has developed into one of the most well-known weaponry companies in the world. Glock has made it to the top of the firearms industry because of their innovative pistol designs and their product reliability. The durable construction and quality material that Glock uses to design their pistols allows many law enforcement and security agencies to depend on these models for their everyday needs.

The Glock 29 has a 10 mm cartridge. The GLOCK 29 is a subcompact version of the full-size model 20. A 10mm Auto with the now mandatory ten-round magazine, the GLOCK 29 is just slightly larger than the GLOCK 19. The GLOCK 29 is an ideal gun for those who want plenty of power, yet want it in a smaller package. The GLOCK 29 will prove especially useful to the discreet backpacker walking the wilds of the mountain ranges, or the armed professional patrolling the concrete canyons of today's urban terrain.

The Glock 17 has undergone two major revisions since its introduction, so the current model is called the 3rd generation Glock 17. The latest generation includes a more ergonomic grip with finger grooves and side grooves that contour the inside of the thumb and forefinger.

Glock pistols come in three main sizes, all modeled after the original full-size Glock 17. The "Standard" full-size models are designed for open carry, ease of shooting, and magazine capacity. The "Compact" models are a slightly smaller weapon with lower magazine capacity and lighter weight, but maintaining a useable grip length. The "Subcompact" models are designed for easier carry being lighter and shorter; the subcompact models are intended to be used with two fingers on the grip below the trigger guard. Models for the .45 ACP and 10mm calibers are slightly larger than other calibers and are not available in the 'compact' size. Glock ... offers a special single-stack, "Slimline" .45 ACP pistol, the Glock 36.

In an effort to accommodate those who do not possess large mitts, Glock has introduced a .45 that uses a shorter case and still delivers .45 ACP performance. When first introduced at the 2003 SHOT Show, the model 37 had a frame and slide that was very close in size to the medium frame models 17 and 22. The production model 37 received for testing has a frame that is indeed the size of the 17/22, but the slide dimensions are closer to those of the model 21. The thickness and height of the slides of the models 21 and 37 are the same, but the model 37 slide is a bit shorter, and is beveled at the front for easier holstering and improved smoothness compared to the model 21.
