| I've had read about the differences in the gen 1,2, & 3 Glocks here and some like the frame differences are obvious. On a G27, haven't the frames always had the finger grooves? Is there such a thing as a gen1 & gen2 G27? What are the differences and how do you tell them apart by looking at them like their larger brothers. I recently purchased a G22, 3rd gen and even though I once told myself that I would never own a Glock (Sig man since 1987) and that they felt like a "Bar of soap" in my hand, I love this pistol. It has made me re-think my view on this entire line of pistols. No, I'm not getting rid of my Sigs, just adding their cousins to the weapons locker. |
Basically - yes. However the frames up to serial perfix "DANxxx" are not designed for the 357SIG.
Tenifer is a heat treating process, not a coating or finish, that Glock uses to corrosion proof it's guns. It is not the black finish on the gun. Tenifer is colorless. Only the slide and barrel are tenefer treated. Since the process is a hot bath at 600 deg the small parts cannot be done as they would change shape and all springs would loose tension.(Credit goes to Ghost Glock from another forum) Yes, the internal parts are the same. |

The finishes have changed. I'm not sure how the finish changes correlate to Gen 1,2,3. I posted this on another thread on this page earlier today: Slide finishes have changed too. I've got a G26 made in 1998 with a "phosphate-type" finish. Its almost (dark) grey. Actually, if I strip off all the oils on it with brake-cleaner, it is grey. My G19, made in 2002, has a much blacker and slicker "teflon-type" finish. Its easier to keep the "teflon-type" looking nice, but either one is fine with me. (I'm using the terms "phosphate-type" and "teflon-type" only because I don't know what else to call them, not because I really know what they are.) |
