No pattern, other than the model numbers occur as the different models come on line.

Unless you're taking an exam on them, I'm not sure why it's important to have them memorized.

I'm gonna try from memory.
G17: full size 9mm G17L: 6" 9mm G18: select fire 17 G19: compact 9mm G20: full size 10mm G21: full size .45 Auto G22: full size .40 G23: compact .40 G24: 6" .40 G25: compact .380 G26: subcompact 9mm G27: subcompact .40 G28: subcompact .380 G29: compact 10mm G30: compact .45 Auto G31: full size .357 Auto G32: compact .357 Auto G33: subcompact .357 Auto G34: 5" 9mm G35: 5" .40 G36: slim compact .45 Auto G37: full size .45 GAP G38: compact .45 GAP G39: subcompact .45 GAP |

My assumption, is when the first glock was made, it has a 17 round mag. So it was called the glock 17. The next model was called the 18, then 19, etc. That is the logic, but remembering all the numbers can be quite confusing.

IIRC it was based on which Glock patent number it was, 17 being Glock's 17 patent |

G17C) SF = Short Frame (ex. G21SF) And the new Glock 30S is a 30 SF frame with a 36 slide. |

I started by just learning the 9's and 40's.
Then I learned 20 10MM and 21 .45. I still don't know all the others by heart and if someone says 30 or 36 I have to check. Learn the same frame/slide different calibers and its easier: what i consider "normal" 9/40 subcompact 26/27 9/40 compact 19/23 9/40 full size 17/22 9/40 practical/tactical 34/35 bigger/thicker then 9/40/357: 10mm/45 full size 20/21 10mm/45 compact 29/30 Remember most of the "30's" numbers are odd balls. The 3 GAPs, the 3 357sigs (same size as 9/40s), the practical tacticals, and the slender subcompact 45. And remember the only two in the teens are 9's. |

I just keep the ones I want the most in order on a note pad.

I really want the Glock 40 to be a .22 LR.
So the G22 is a .40 and the G40 is a .22. |

Maybe if they ever do make an AR15 it will be the Glock 47............
