Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect when buying a used Glock police trade-in pistol?

When purchasing a used Glock police trade-in, expect cosmetic wear such as holster marks on the slide and frame. While all firearms are functional, original night sights may have depleted illumination. Variations in accessories like slide releases or grips are also common.

Can I convert a .40 S&W Glock to 9mm?

Yes, many .40 S&W Glocks, like the Glock 22 or 23, can be converted to 9mm by simply swapping the barrel and using a 9mm magazine. The magazine wells are the same size, and other components like the recoil spring and ejector typically function with both calibers.

What are the differences between Glock Gen 3 and Gen 4 models?

Glock Gen 3 models feature an accessory rail and a smoother grip texture with finger grooves. Gen 4 models offer a more aggressive grip texture, interchangeable backstraps for customizable grip size, and a dual recoil spring assembly for potentially reduced felt recoil.

Why are some Glock 42 pistols marked 'USA'?

Glock 42 pistols marked 'USA' were manufactured in the United States by Glock USA. This was necessary because smaller caliber pistols often don't meet the point system requirements for direct importation into the U.S. from Austria.
