Best Glocks for sale are a bit of a paradox. Everyone knows about them. (Unless you live under a rock, how could you not?) But ask someone to explain the Glock handgun line by model, generation, caliber, and use, and you’re going to end up with a lot of blank stares. If you’re trying to select the best one for you or someone else it’s pretty important to have a grasp on the company’s ecosystem.

It doesn’t help that Glock pistols have a sameness to their look that blurs the lines between one model and the next. Or a numbering methodology that has zero bearing on the pistol’s cartridge or intended use. The fact that Glock has overlapping generations pistols still in production doesn’t help clear things up either.

Fear not. We’re going to break down the best Glock pistols in the lineup so you can become an expert on the Austrian wondergun, looking at them by model, frame size, caliber, and intended use. We’ll also help you figure out the optimal Glock handgun for your needs, whether you’re looking for something for concealed carry, home protection, bear defense, or competition.

FBI Glock 17M 9mm

First, what is a Glock? In short they are polymer framed, striker fired pistols originally manufactured in Austria and imported to the U.S. in 1986. It was the first commercially successful pistol with an injection molded polymer frame and the handgun world has never been the same.

While at first glance all the Glock pistols look like they’re made from the same cookie cutter, there are subtle and major differences between the models and latest generation of these handguns, as well as some configurations you may not be aware of. Let’s take a closer look.

Model Numbers: Glock’s model numbering nomenclature may seem arcane, but it’s actually quite simple; It’s sequential. That’s it. It’s literally just sequential in the order of model introduction. It has nothing to do with magazine capacity, cartridge, frame size, etc. For instance, the G48 is the 48^th model of Glock pistol introduced to the commercial or military/law enforcement market.

Cartridges

Unless you want something really weird or really small you can have a Glock in just about any pistol cartridge you want. They are available in .22LR, .380ACP, 9mm, .357Sig, 10mm, .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol), .45 ACP, and yes even .40 S&W if you’re still one of the malcontents interested in that cartridge. As you might suspect there are more models available in 9mm than any other cartridge, but there are plenty of offerings in the other chamberings as well.

Glock size comparisons — Standard, compact, and subcompact Glock models. *Matt Foster*

Frame Sizes

Glock has relatively intuitive nomenclature for their frame sizes. Standard, Compact, Subcompact, Competition and Long slide.

STANDARD: Standard frame models are typical full size or duty sized handguns designed for open carry. Barrel length is 4.5 in.
COMPACT: Compact Glocks are slightly shorter both in slide length and grip length to facilitate concealed carry but are still substantial handguns. These are not something you’re going to drop into your pocket but work well for inside- or outside-the-waistband concealed carry. Barrel length is 4.0 in.
SUBCOMPACT: Subcompact models are even shorter both in slide length and grip length. Some of their models are double stack and recently they’ve introduced single stack models as well in their Subcompact category. Barrel length is 3.4 in. (3.25 in. for the G42 in .380 Auto)
COMPETITION: Going the other direction in size, the Competition pistols have a Standard size frame but a longer barrel and slide for an increased sight radius. Barrel length is 5.3. in.
LONG SLIDE: While not quite a buntline, the Long Slide models immediately grab your attention, with a slide-to-frame ratio that makes you say “Oh, I really wanna shoot that!” They have the longest barrels and slides of all the best Glocks. These are target or hunting handguns (in the case of the 10mm Auto). Barrel length is 6.0 in.

X Factor

One caveat in the Glock model lineup are the “X” models. These will pair a compact or subcompact slide with the next size up frame.

Modular Optics System (MOS)

MOS stands for Modular Optics System. Models with an MOS designation have the slide cut to accept optics via a series of plates that come with MOS pistols. These plates are adapters to allow mounting the most popular micro red dot sights like the Trijicon RMR, Leupold Delta Point, various Holosuns, etc. Think of the MOS plates as scope mounts specific to the most popular micro red dots on the market.

Generation (Gen 5 vs. Gen 4):

Glock pistols are now in their 5^th generation. The Gen 3 and Gen 4 pistols are still available from the factory. There were only minor differences between the 3^rd and 4th generations, but there are significant differences between the 5^th generation and what came before. The Gen 5s have the following improvements:

Glock Marksman barrels
No finger grooves
New trigger module design
Ambi-slide stop lever
Reversible magazine catch
New ejector design
Captured recoil spring

So, unless you’re unless you have a finger groove fetish, go with a Gen 5 if it’s available in the model and caliber you want.

GLOCK 17M REVIEWS

Though the polymer striker fired pistol concept did not originate with Glock, they were the company that brought it to the mainstream with great success. Since then, they have ascribed to an “evolution, not revolution” design philosophy. Each new generation has minor changes and tweaks, but the core concept has remained the same. I was recently issued a new Glock 17M by my department. The 17M is the newest iteration of the very successful duty-sized 9mm Glock and identical to the commercial version of the pistol — the Glock 17 Gen 5. I’ve found that, though Glock has stayed true to their design philosophy, the changes they have made are actual improvements and not just cosmetic alterations.

Home

Before moving forward, I should share a brief history of my involvement with Glocks. Prior to LEO training, I had never even held a polymer pistol, let alone fired one. In the military, the only pistol I had used was the Beretta M9. As a cake-eating civilian during the Clinton Assault Weapon Ban years — when magazines holding more than 10 rounds became…pricey — I carried a 1911 or revolver, but the 1911 was the platform I had the most experience with by far. Then came the police academy, where I was issued a Gen 2 Glock 22 with the NY-1 trigger. It was so gritty and oddly stacked, I thought something was wrong inside of the gun and embarrassed myself by telling an instructor I thought my gun needed maintenance. He took it, shot it, and told me that’s what they are supposed to feel like. Not a great start.

I’ve since been issued a Gen 3, and then a Gen 4 Glock 22 with the standard trigger. I prefer the Gen 2 in most ways since the Gen 3 and 4 finger grooves don’t line up with my fingers, but either way, I have never felt fully comfortable with the Glock in general. I suppose you could say I’ve always liked the concept of the Glock but not the execution. I appreciate the simplicity of the weapon, and I appreciate the idea of a backup gun that can accept the same magazines as a primary sidearm. The cost is reasonable, and the reliability and ease of maintenance make them an easy gun to own. I just didn’t shoot the Glock 22 as well as the Sig P226 and the P226 didn’t give me blisters, so when given the option, I elected to carry the Sig.

So with the understanding that I’m neither a “fanboy” or “hater”, let’s delve into the actual review of the 17M.

A magazine-fed pistol isn’t much good without the magazines, and there are some changes to the new Gen 5 mags that came with my 17M. The most obvious is that the Gen 5 magazines have an orange follower. I’m not sure the advantage of a high visibility follower in a pistol magazine, but it does make it easier to differentiate Gen 5 mags from older magazines at a glance. Note that previous generation magazines do function just fine in the Gen 5 pistols, except for those that were made before the implementation of the swappable magazine release, which will not work with a left-handed setup. The magazine body does not appear to be changed, and capacity is still 17 rounds.

The more functional difference is a slightly longer base pad, which, when combined with a cut out in the front of the pistol grip, makes it easier to rip out a stuck magazine. The witness holes are accurate and all three of my issued magazines function as expected.

On the pistol itself, the first thing I was excited about was the lack of finger grooves. For those of us who have hands that don’t match the grooves and who are prohibited by policy from modifying the gun, this makes a big difference. Not only is it more comfortable, it promotes a better and more confident grip. The texture of the grip is probably in most customers’ Goldilocks-zone for roughness, but it is my one complaint with the 17M. I would prefer a more aggressive texture since this one began to feel a little squirmy once it got sweaty. Of course, plenty of stippling options exist for those who want a rougher texture and aren’t bound by policy prohibiting such modification. The pistol comes with no back strap installed, but ships with four optional backstraps (two medium and two large backstraps, both with and without a beavertail). The holder for the straps doubles as a tool to remove and install the pin.

Looking at the bottom of the grip, you’ll notice not only the aforementioned cut out for removal of stuck magazines but also a slightly flared magazine well to help with faster reloads. The “funnel” of the magazine well makes it more forgiving of a slightly misaligned magazine, allowing it to slide home instead of sticking.

Sights are always a bit personal, but I do like the Ameriglo sights that came with my 17M quite a bit. They are slightly smaller than the Trijicon HDs I’ve used in the past and feature a big orange dot up front with a black rear, and three tritium inserts for low light shooting. I shot the 17M in lighting conditions from daylight to nearly complete darkness and did not find any situation in which sights were difficult to acquire. Either the orange or the tritium is always visible, and sometimes you can see a bit of both. The Ameriglo sights are just one of three factory sight options available for the Gen 5 Glock 17. The pistol can also be purchased with plain three-dot night sights, or the standard Glock plastic OEM sights.

When using the Ameriglo sights, the light gaps on either side of the front sight are wider than “normal” Glock sights. This can make accuracy work a bit more challenging, but the trade-off is very rapid sight acquisition. When I first received this pistol, the rear sight was not quite centered, causing the gun to shoot about one inch left at 10 yards. After having a friend shoot the gun to confirm that the problem was a sight issue and not operator error, I drifted the rear sight and it now consistently shoots to point of aim.

The 17M is capable of better accuracy than I’ve been able to get from it so far. In controlled testing from a mechanical rest, these guns are capable of sub 2-inch groups at 25 yards. Several examples were under 1 inch at 25 yards using factory 147-grain bullets, with the best example I’m aware of shooting .76 inches. That’s pretty impressive for a general issue handgun, and well within the accuracy requirements for a service pistol. While understanding the “why” of the increased accuracy is really beyond my skill set, I was told that the new “Glock Marksman Barrel” includes improvements to lockup consistency as well as changes to the rifling which have lead to this increased accuracy.

Glock 17 Gen 5 barrel rifling — It’s pretty easy to tell the Gen 5 barrel is different than the old polygonal rifling.

The trigger is very smooth — a world of difference from the grit and grind of my old Gen 2 and an improvement even on the decent trigger of the Gen 4. It feels similar to a Robar NP3 coated trigger — there’s no grit, giving the sense that the parts are gliding when they touch, not scraping. The trigger is so good I had to go back and dry fire it to really concentrate on the feel and do my best to describe it. A pull of the trigger starts with smooth take-up of pre-travel, a bit of stacking as you near the break, a predictable break, and then ends with a clean reset. It does what it’s supposed to do so well you don’t really have to think about what it’s doing, it’s simply invisible. While “acceptable” is my normal adjective for a factory Glock trigger, the 17M’s trigger is actually quite good. A friend of mine who is a Glock armorer capable of performing a very nice aftermarket trigger job on them fired my 17M and immediately pronounced it the best factory trigger he had ever felt on a Glock. Our levels of experience with different Glocks are at opposite ends of the spectrum, so when we both agree, I think it’s safe to say you’ll like the new trigger.

Of course, the latest Glock design retains the trigger tab, an integral part of keeping the Glock “Safe Action” design drop safe. Since the tab moves in a different plane than the trigger, a drop cannot exert enough inertia on both to allow the trigger to move to the rear. The only change I can see to any component of the “Safe Action” is the firing pin safety plunger. It is now wedge-shaped and larger.

Other differences in the slide assembly are a beefier tab for the recoil spring assembly, and the recoil assembly spring itself is longer. While the 9mm isn’t known as a heavy recoiling round to begin with, the Glock RSA does a very good job of reducing felt recoil. I found recoil management and tracking the front sight to be easy with the 17M. Even when it felt slippery with sweat, it wasn’t difficult to control and maintain a firm grip.

On the outside, the Gen 5 slide is slightly chamfered on the muzzle end. While some claim this makes it easier to holster, I’m not sure I buy that, particularly because the frame lacks the same chamfer. It does make an interesting cosmetic change, though — a break in the normal slab sides. I know there had been some speculation about the possibility of Glock adding forward cocking serrations to their newest design update, but they are absent on both my 17M and the commercial Gen 5. How much of a benefit they would be is debatable, particularly without an optic mounted, but I wouldn’t mind having some texture on the forward area of the slide. It’s certainly not a deal breaker for me one way or the other, though.

Like the Gen 3 and 4 Glocks, the 17M has an accessory rail on the frame, and I have fired 250 rounds with a Streamlight TLR-1 attached. Having the light installed did not cause any malfunctions. We did have issues with some Gen 3s that malfunctioned only when a WML was installed, so I always test this even though I no longer use a WML day-to-day.

To date, I’ve fired 2,459 rounds through the 17M. The first 250 were straight out of the box as delivered. I then field stripped it, cleaned it, and re-lubricated it. I have had zero malfunctions of any kind, with or without the WML, with the issued magazines and with Gen 4 magazines. I even attempted to induce a malfunction via “limp wristing” to the point I held the pistol with only my forefinger and thumb of my right hand and pulled the trigger with my left finger, and still couldn’t get it to malfunction.

Most existing Glock 17 holsters seem to be compatible with the 17M and Gen 5 Glocks. I did observe one officer with an unknown brand of Kydex holster that was not compatible, as the sides of the Kydex came up high enough to interfere with the ambidextrous slide release. My Comp-Tac IWB, leather OWB, and kydex Safariland duty holster were all compatible. If your holster doesn’t cover the ambi slide release and it has enough height in the sight tunnel to accommodate a slightly taller sight, you shouldn’t have any issue.

In summary, it’s still the same pistol that put Glock on the map, but through careful and well thought out updates, it’s the best example of a Glock to date. No matter if you love, hate, or are indifferent to the Glock, it’s impossible to deny that it’s the pistol that all polymer framed striker-fired guns are compared to. With the 17M now available to the public as the Glock 17 Gen 5, all of those pistols attempting to claim the “Glock killer” title have an even higher standard to meet.

Ok, here’s where things get a bit messy, but we can clean it up. Let’s look at what’s available by cartridge, starting with the most popular, the 9X19mm. Models listed are Gen 5 unless noted otherwise.

9X19mm

The Glock G17 is the model that started it all here in the U.S., and it’s going away. Yes, that’s right, Glock is going to replace the G17 with another model of 9mm, the Glock G47. It was developed earlier, thus being out later than the G48, but wasn’t available commercially until now. Basically it’s a G17 but with a slightly shorter frame at the accessory rail area, and the guide rod ring on the slide is longer to take up the space. This is so you can mix and match slides and frames with a G19 to create a “long slide” G19MOS (G47 slide on G19 frame), or a G19X MOS. In addition to the new G47 you can get every type of Glock pistol available in 9mm. As a bonus if you have a pistol caliber carbine it like almost assuredly takes Glock magazines.

Standard – G47MOS
Compact – G19, G19X, G19MOS, G45MOS
Compact (Single Stack) – G48, G48MOS
Subcompact – G26
Subcompact (Single Stack) – G43, G43X, G43XMOS
Competition – G34MOS (Gen 4 G34 is still listed on their website, but get the Gen5 34MOS)
Long Slide – G17L

.40 S&W

Though the .40 S&W isn’t nearly as popular as it once was—the arguments for the cartridge are less valid than they once were—Glock still offers a variety of models.

Standard – G22, G22MOS
Compact – G23, G23MOS
Compact (Single Stack) – None
Subcompact – G27
Subcompact (Single Stack) – None
Competition – G35 (Popular in USPSA Limited Division)
Long Slide – G24 (Gen4)

.357 Sig.

Will the .357 Sig outlast the .40 S&W? It just might. Until we find out, here are the Glocks you can get in this zippy little bottlenecked pistol cartridge.

Standard – G31 (Gen4)
Compact – G32 (Gen4)
Compact (Single Stack) – None
Subcompact – G33
Subcompact (Single Stack) – None
Competition – None
Long Slide – None

10mm glocks — (Top to bottom) G40 MOS, G20, and G29, all three are chambered in 10mm Auto. *Matt Foster*

10mm Auto

Glock has more models of 10mm than any other pistol manufacturer with some real standouts. Recently Outdoor Life determined that a 10mm auto is a better bet against bears than even the vaunted .44 Mag. Currently all Glock 10mm pistols are Gen4 configurations.

Standard – G20 Gen 5, G20SF (Small Frame, Gen 3)
Compact – None
Compact (Single Stack) – None
Subcompact – G29, G29SF (Small Frame, Gen 3)
Subcompact (Single Stack) – None
Competition – None
Long Slide – G40MOS (Gen 4)

.45 ACP

Yes, the .45 Auto (aka .45 ACP) is America’s cartridge but at some point it will be dead and buried while the 9mm still soldiers on. That said, if you just gotta have your pistol stoked with fatties, Glock has you covered with a decent selection of pistols configurations. All .45 Auto Glock pistols are Gen 4 models.

Standard – G22 Gen 5, G21SF (Small Frame, Gen 3)
Compact – None
Compact (Single Stack) – None
Subcompact – G30 (Gen 4), G30SF (Small Frame, Gen 3)
Subcompact (Single Stack) – G36
Competition – G41 (Gen 4), G41MOS (Gen 4)
Long Slide – None

.45 G.A.P. (Glock Auto Pistol)

The .45 G.A.P. was developed to give .45 Auto ballistics in a cartridge that would fit into the same size frame as the 9mm Glocks (the G20 and G21 have larger grips to accommodate the double stack magazines of the .45 Auto and 10mm Auto). If you really like the .45 Auto ballistics but want a bit smaller pistol, this might be the cartridge for you. All .45 G.A.P. pistols are Gen 3 models.

Standard – G37
Compact – G38
Compact (Single Stack) – None
Subcompact – G39
Subcompact – None
Competition – None
Long Slide – None

.380 Auto

The G42 is the Mini Me in the Glock lineup. It’s listed under their Subcompact category, but really, it’s more in the “micro” category. While it’s a bit big for a pocket pistol, it is still works for that method of carry

.22 LR

If you want or need a training pistol exactly dimensioned like your G19, the G44 is for you. It’s dimensionally almost identical to the G19 series but holds 10 rounds of 22LR.

1. Glock 17

Close-Up of Glock 17 Semi-Automatic Handgun | Glocks for Women

If you’re searching for a firearm that you can use for self-defense, you may want to look at Glock 17. It comes in a pretty simple design–straightforward, nothing fancy, just the basics. But with its durability and reliability, this gun packs a punch!

But this handgun comes in a full-size design, so it’s longer than the other Glock models. As a result, you might also find it difficult to conceal it in your body. But don’t worry, you can still hide it in your purse! Plus, this length adds to the gun’s accuracy.

Gun Specs:

Caliber: 9x19mm
Barrel length: 4.49 in
Overall length: 8.03 in
Slide width: 1 in
Height: 5.47 in
Weight (with empty magazine): 24.87 oz
Weight (with loaded magazine): 32.28 oz
Capacity: 17

2. Glock 19

Glock 19 Semi 9x19mm Pistol | Glocks for Women

This is another well-known handgun from Glock. It’s ideal for home defense but also great for competitive shooting. It comes with an extended reversible magazine catch that makes your reloading faster, perfect if you’re a competitive shooter.

This handgun is a bit shorter than Glock 17, so it makes for excellent concealed carry. It also has few controls and consistent trigger pull, making it beginner-friendly.

Another reason why the Glock 19 is among the top Glocks for women is because of its Gen4 and Gen5 variants.

These Glock 19 have a dual recoil spring system responsible for a lighter recoil. Additionally, they provide a customizable grip size, so you can adjust the grip to fit your hands comfortably.

If you want a non-traditional handgun, you can have this model in a pink or bronze frame!

Gun Specs:

Caliber: 9x19mm
Barrel length: 4.02 in
Overall length: 7.36 in
Slide width: 1 in
Height: 5.04 in
Weight (with empty magazine): 23.63 oz
Weight (with loaded magazine): 30.16 oz
Capacity: 15

3. Glock 26

This handgun shares the features of Glock 17 and Glock 19. But it has a smaller and lighter frame to make it an effective sub-compact pistol.

It has everything you’re looking for in a concealed carry handgun–it has a small build but a large magazine capacity.

Furthermore, its grip is big enough to wrap your fingers firmly around it, which is good! Because most sub-compacts compromise the grip size for the sake of the frame.

So if you’re the type of shooter who wants nothing but the best for your gun’s performance, then the Glock 26 is for you. With its re-engineered design, superior power, and minimal recoil, this “Baby Glock” surely sounds perfect, right?

Gun Specs:

Caliber: 9x19mm
Barrel length: 3.43 in
Overall length: 6.5 in
Slide width: 1 in
Height: 4.17 in
Weight (with empty magazine): 21.52 oz
Weight (with loaded magazine): 25.75 oz
Capacity: 10

4. Glock 27 Gen5

The Glock 27, specifically the Gen5, is also a sub-compact pistol, like the Glock 26. Changes were added to this small yet powerful pistol, making it the official backup weapon of US law enforcement agencies. But this doesn’t mean that women can’t shoot it.

Lady shooters can still benefit from this gun’s accuracy, flared mag well, and ambidextrous slide stop lever. But, its slide width is slightly bigger, so you may consider that when buying your accessories.

Gun Specs:

Caliber: .40 S&W
Barrel length: 3.43 in
Overall length: 6.42 in
Slide width: 1.08 in
Height: 4.21 in
Weight (with empty magazine): 23.85 oz
Weight (with loaded magazine): 29.17 oz
Capacity: 9

5. Glock 32

If you’re looking for a gun that kicks and offers some serious power, the Glock 32 is the way to go.

This Glock model delivers a remarkable amount of punch, thanks to its .357 caliber. It can stop anyone or anything in their tracks. Additionally, this ammunition doesn’t only provide a bigger hit. It also makes the pistol incredibly reliable.

Gun Specs:

Caliber: .357
Barrel length: 4.02 in
Overall length: 7.36 in

But despite its size and weight, it doesn’t sacrifice its reliability. It still features easy operation, a comfortable grip, and a safety system, so you can confidently carry it daily.

If you need a durable gun that can withstand your rugged adventures, then the Glock 43 can accompany you. It’s simple to load and uncomplicated to use. Plus, it doesn’t give you a very huge kick.

This pistol was designed as a police firearm, so you can count on its reliability. This also makes it one of the most well-favored guns by both men and women.

It comes with an aggressive texture, which allows you to secure your grip regardless of the size of your hand. Additionally, it shoots perfectly, especially at a close range.

Caliber: 9x19mm
Barrel length: 3.41 in
Overall length: 6.26 in

8. Glock 43X

The Glock 43X pistol is similar to Glock 43 but has more capacity. This Glock model gives you a 10-round magazine capacity instead of Glock 43’s six-round.

But, because of its increased grip length, the G43X is larger and heavier than G43. But its slide remains sub-compact, and its trigger distance is short of providing you with versatility, comfort, and balance, ideal for various situations.

Gun Specs:

Caliber: 9x19mm
Barrel length: 3.41 in
Overall length: 6.5 in
Slide width: 0.87 in

The Glock 48 is a slimmer version of the Glock 19. This model is perfect for lady shooters with small hands and those who don’t prefer a double-stack grip. And since it’s lighter than G19, it makes for a better CCW.

But a reduced frame means fewer rounds. And even though it’s a compact pistol, its capacity is similar to the sub-compact ones.

The G48 is an excellent choice if you’re looking for less weight and easier concealment but with a longer slide and a full-size grip.

Gun Specs:

Caliber: 9x19mm
Barrel length: 4.17 in
Overall length: 7.28 in
Slide width: 0.87 in
Height: 5.04 in
Weight (with empty magazine): 20.74 oz

Tips for Women Handling Glocks

Here are some useful tips for women who are new to handling Glocks or firearms in general:

Seek Proper Training: Enroll in a reputable firearms training course that specifically caters to women. Proper instruction and guidance will ensure safe and responsible gun handling.
Practice Regularly: Familiarize yourself with your chosen Glock model by practicing at the range regularly. Consistent practice enhances accuracy and builds confidence.
Consider Holster Options: Invest in a high-quality holster designed for women, ensuring both comfort and accessibility while carrying your Glock.
Conduct Proper Maintenance: Regularly clean and maintain your Glock to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Store Securely: When not in use, store your Glock securely in a locked safe or using a reliable gun lock to prevent unauthorized access.

Additionally, you may want to test your preferred handgun before buying it. Check if the grip is comfortable and if the recoil is manageable. These can help you determine which works for you and which doesn’t.

Which do you consider the most when purchasing a handgun?

Barrel length–I prefer a firearm with a long barrel because it significantly increases the gun’s accuracy.
Overall size–I want a handgun that I can conceal, so I prefer a small one.
Caliber–I prefer a gun with a .380 Auto caliber since it has low recoil.
Ambidexterity–I’m a left-handed shooter, so having the mag release on the left side is a plus.
