This video delves into the evolution of Glock pistol generations, from Gen 1 to Gen 5, uncovering lesser-known facts and internal differences.

This video argues Glock's deliberate lack of radical innovation is a core strength, ensuring reliability and familiarity.

The Gen 5 Glock 27 is notably thicker than the Gen 5 Glock 26, a change from previous generations where their slide widths were identical. This increased thickness in the .40 S&W G27 can cause holster compatibility issues with holsters designed for the 9mm G26. The G27 Gen 5 features a thicker slide for increased mass, while the G26 Gen 5 maintains a standard 1.0-inch slide width.

The Glock 17L is a rare, limited-edition competition handgun featuring a significantly longer slide and barrel than standard Glocks.
