Originally posted by stangyg123NOTE: Editted for brevity.Glock Pistol Upgrades1990 UpgradeGlock Model 19, 9mm Luger caliber, requires an upgrade for the following serial numbers:AN, BP, BR, BV, BW, BX, DL, DM, DN, DP, DR, DS, DT, DV, DW, DX, DY, DZThese pistols may have the potential of the action to malfunction as follows:1. The slide locking back on a full magazine.2.
Failure to lock into battery because the barrel lug drags on the slide lock.3. The magazine follower tips or sticks in the magazine tube.1992, 6 part UpgradeGLOCK, INC. Technical Bulletin #920403April 1, 1992Glock, Inc. Announces a production change of the firing pin safety system.
This new firing pin safety system has been installed in all production Glock pistols since November, 1991. A voluntary upgrade is being offered to maintain the Glock tradition of ensuring that all of our pistoils are up to the latest standards in 21st century Goock technology.Most importantly, the components of the new firing pin safety system are not interchangable with the components of the old systam and Glock will always strive towards maintaining this feature of interchangability while working to ensure future interchangability.The upgraded firing pin safety system consists of: the firing pin, firing pin safety, the extractor, the spring loaded bearing and the trigger bar. The upgraded system is applicable only to Glock pistols with the following serial number ranges:Glock 17 - alpha prefixes AA - WFGlock 19 - alpha prefixes through WJGlock 20 - alpha prefixes through WWGlock 21 - alpha prefixes through XLGlock 22 - alpha prefixes through YAGlock 23 - alpha prefixes through SKThe upgraded firing pin safety has a new surface finish making it nearly 100% saltwater corrosion resistant.
Also, after rigorous and extensive testing, the new system proves to be more durable and has a longer useful life. Here, as alwyas, Glock is working toward maintianing its standard of perfection.1993, G19 UpgradeGlock 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 upgradeGlock Model 26, 9mm caliber, serial numbers DGU, DHR DKU.Glock Model 27,.40S&W caliber, serial numbers DGD, DGV, DHS, DHT, DKV, DKW, DKX.Mr. Don Bulver, warranty department of Glock, Inc., indicated the recoil springs produced before September 1999 may shear off on some of these pistols due to over hardness of the support tube.Replacement springs will be distinguished by a vertical mark from the center on the front polymer portion of outer ring of the guide rod assembly, which will appear to be a mold line.2002 Frame Upgrade - Rear slide railThe GLOCK Corporation has identified a problem with a very small percentage of GLOCK pistols produced between September of 2001 and May of 2002. The specific problem that has been identified is the potential of breaking a rear frame rail in pistols manufactured during this time period. Within the specific range the breakage rate has been less than 0.0188%. So, while the actual percentage of rails reported broken is within any accepted manufacturing tolerance, it is not an acceptable situation to the GLOCK Corporation.
It is also important to note that under most conditions GLOCK pistols will continue to function with three rails. A routine maintenance check after each time the pistol has been taken out and used would immediately indicate if there is a problem.We are, therefore, concerned that a limited number of customers will not get the product we have promised them and what we have always delivered, the very best pistol on the market, in short, a GLOCK.For these reasons, we have made the decision that in the interest of customer service, replacement frames will be offered to anyone who has a firearm in this range and decides to take advantage of this offer. The replacement frames will have identical serial numbers to our customer's original firearm except the numeral 1 will be added as a prefix. If you believe your firearm is within this range, please call 1-866-225-4098 to take advantage of the ultimate in customer service.Nothing less than the best for our customers is acceptable to GLOCK and, as always, we will continue to work towards Perfection.It appears that only serial numbers starting with 'E', 'GSSF', or 'USA' (American Hero’s Commemoratives) are affected.
In general, the chronological serial number set that has the prefix letters of 'EKA' through 'EVR' inclusive appear to be the affected Glocks, regardless of caliber. Three letters precede three numbers on a plate forward of the trigger guard on the underside of the polymer frame. However, some aberrations to this generalization have been reported by GTers. Reports are that the affected Glocks were manufactured from September 2001 to May 2002.
So if you bought (or won a GSSF Glock) an 'E' or 'USA' series Glock in September of 2001 up until the present day, you might have an affected Glock. Unfortunately, Glock has not published a list. Hope this helps, but again, if you are responsible enough to own a gun and can read this, you are smart enough to check for yourself by calling Glock. This is a database of owner supplied data. If you don't find yours listed, look in your paperworkfor the little brown envelope containing two fired casings. What's the date on that envelope?Don't have it?
Then please call GLOCK, US Inc. And ask them.This page was derived from years of work on the Glock Talk forum by the users MakeMineA10mm, Dandapani and GSD17.They obviously put untold hours updating the original threads and it's an amazing compilation.The purpose of this list is to be a resource for people who wonder what the 'born-on' date of theirGlock is, and to provide a historical record, which, if ever it is complete enough, can indicatesome information about caliber trends, model popularity, production changes, etc.The Rules. It doesn't matter if you have information that is similar to what someone else has. There isa thousand possibilities for each three letter prefix and that doesn't count suffixes. As longas you have different information than what is already existing, please add it. There is noreason to have three entries for SNR.
G-17 with no generation,. You can decide how much of your serial number you want posted. There are no usernames, IPaddresses, or any other possibly personally identifying information I record. What you seeis what you get which is all I have. When entering the serial put in as much of it you would like to be shown and the system willpad the remainder with asterisks.
If you enter SNR000 it will display as SNR000, but ifyou enter SNR0 it will display as SNR0. and if you enter SN it will display as SN. Do not use any X's unless that is part of your serial number. Do not put pound/hash marks (#)or spaces anywhere in the serial number. Any of these things will mess up the sorting and display.i.e. If your actual serial number is SNR000 these are Good Entries: SNR000or SNR0 or SNR and these are Bad Entries: SNR 000 orSNRXXX or SNR###.
Click on Generation and it will pop up a little guide that can help you identify what you have. I willbe adding Gen4 info to it shortly.

Showing Results per page. Generation. This can be confusing. Please look at the picture below:- 1st Generation has the smooth, rounded 'pebble-grip'.- 2nd Generation has the 'Grenade-style' checkering on the front and back strap areas with NO fingergrooves.- 3rd Generation has BOTH fingergrooves AND accessory rail on the front dustcover.- 4th Generation has the 'RTF3' on the grip sides.- If you have a subcompact (G-26, -27, -28, -29, -30, -33, -36) OR a 'transition model' when Glock was putting fingergrooves but no accessory rail, then you have a 2.5 Generation. There is even a slight variation here, as some of the earliest G-26 & G-27s had smooth fingergrooves, without checkering in-between the grooves. Some people do not count the sub-compacts as 2.5 Gen since they came out after the 3rd Gen frames were already being made. Note: newer -29, -30 are now coming with rails.Originally posted by ButchThe only Glocks that came with generation 1 frames were models 17, 17L, 18, and a small number of G19's that were cut down from G17 frames.The first Glocks with the finger groove frames were the G26 and G27.The first Glocks that were originally made with generation three frames were the G34 and G35.
