That's a Gen 1. The Gen 2 guns had the coarse "checkered" front strap and a different "texture pattern" on the grips.
Here's a link to a picture of a Gen 2 Glock 17. You can see the differences in the grips.

Nice gun, by the way.

Also 2 pin model. I had one of those until a year ago as a trainer and gave it to a good friend. Even if you manage to break it,its easy and cheap to fix yourself in most cases. I broke the frame on one and the factory replaced it for free.

I'm jealous.
I had both a gen1 & a gen2, but they looked awful. The gen1 had a bubba stipple job all over plus a bubba fill/reshaping on the back strap (I got it cheap though). The gen2 was a LE trade with so much wear at the grip bottom that there was a sharp, jagged edge on the plastic - excuse me, polymer. (Got it fairly cheap, too)
I replaced the frame on each with a new gen3 frame. They made great beater guns for not too much money, but no "collector" value whatsoever.
Enjoy yours!!
