MJ13 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Does the number 4 stamped inside the glock frame mean that it is a Gen 4? I was told the gun was a Gen 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog009 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I don't know about that number, but there are a number of ways to tell the difference between a gen 3 and gen 4 Glock. Gen 3 - Gen 4 - Exterior differences grip texture removable backstraps enlarged mag release says "Gen 4" on the slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ13 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 The gun came with a ZEV slide. Texture is the G3. No back straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ13 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Mag release is aftermarket. But I’m guessing it’s Gen 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgh Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 IIRC, you can i.d. its Generation with its serial number. I think I found the table on the Glock website years ago when I looked up my Glock Gen 2 and 3's but it could have been some other site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braxton1 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 That “4” in that area is simply a mold designation. Numbers hand-stamped inside the dust cover area are Armorer ID’s if the gun went thru a factory rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
