Hey all. Just ran across this:

If your frame has two pins above the trigger, you >have the new frame. Even most of the used, Police trade in Glocks on the market >were sent back to Glock to get the new frames (which is why many departments got >rid of them to begin with). If you don't have two pins, send it to Glock and they will >give you the new frame with the old serial number, probably gratis.

I don't know what pins this is referring to. Can anyone drop a pic or a link to a pic?

Thanks as always! GN

This is the 2 pin frame. It has a single pin above the trigger and is the "weaker" of the Glock generations

This is the 3 pin frame. It has 2 pins above the trigger and is the one that Glock, according to your origional post, will replace the 2 pin frames with.

Now as for what you are claiming..That glock replaces the old 2 pins with 3 pins I dont think I have ever heard of that especially not for free...but I could be wrong

Thanks Brian! I'm assuming from the photo that the replacement frame is a gen 3 frame...? Are the pins in question visable from the top with the slide removed? Any photos of these one or two pins avail?

Thanks to all!

Here is a picture of a Gen 2 G22 with the two pins over the trigger. When you open the attached you can see the pins better.

Sorry for the poor photo, had to use the cell phone.
