A Little Glock History

Boomer,
Great info dude. I do't know I Gen1 had a dual recoil spring or not but my guess is no. Like I said just a guess. Let me know if i am wrong every one. Boomer again thanks for the time and info.

interesting info, thanks

Thanks for the compliment, I am not entirely certain about the recoil assembly in the Gen1s, I have found some other info that suggest otherwise, plus not having seen one makes me wonder too. That first post was a rough draft, I have since then found some more info to add to the pot plus some corrections I need to make also. So if anyone has a Gen1 they wouldnt mind field stripping and posting some pix of I would appreciate it. Thanks, Boomer.

Nice post. Some good to know info there.

There were a scant few Gen 1 19 made.

I had just read that somewhere today. All I could figure were that there were pre-releases before the big production boom when the second generation was released in 88'. Never seen one though, that would be neat.

Wouldnt ya just love to get ahold of one of those?!?

I dont care for 9mm, but heck ya. Id prolly run a box of WWB through it just to make sure it works, then clean it up and let it be a collectible safe queen.

OK, heres the low down on the Gen 1 19

Only a few dozen Gen1 19s were made. These were prototypes for made for the ATF as prerelease examination samples. They were made by placing a block in the dust cover area of a 17 mold to make the dust cover shorter. The mag wells were had cut at the factory from the 17 to 19 length. These pistols would have been marked with a 5 digit serial number with a "J" as the first digit which denotes a prototype.

Straight from Glock in Smyrna

Just wanted to let everyone know that my research project is slowly moving here and there. I think when I get to the point where Im not finding anymore info, which I think is steadily approaching, I will post my completed research typings in my blogs when its ready to go. Anyways, I just thought ya'll might like to know. Boomer
