Speaking Of Glock Differences

The capsule version of Glock 17 (superficial visual frame) differences.

Gen 1: Pebble texture all around on the grip.  Only the Glock 17 was ever Gen 1!

Gen 2: Waffle pattern added to front and back of grip.

Gen 3: Awful finger bumps added.

Gen 4: Removable back-strap added.

Gen 5: Awful finger bumps removed. 

Glocks are referred to by this generation scheme even if the first generation of a model is in a different overall generation.

The first Glock 21 is a Gen 2 even though there were never any Gen 1 Glock 21's.

The first Glock 45 is a Gen 5 even though there were never any Gen 1-4 Glock 45's.

It's actually quite simple.
