Because it's Glock's, 45th US Patton.

Uh, no.

Oft repeated and quoted, but no.

And the G17 MAY have been thus named due to it being Glock's 17th patent (according to some obscure Austrian source) or it MAY have been because it met the 17 requirements during pistol trials by the Austrian military, or (most likely, IMO) it MAY have been that it holds 17 rounds. The wondernines of the era held 15 or 16.

But that explanation is too simple and makes too much sense.

In any case, the model numbers after that were simply sequential. You aren't issued a new patent when you shorten the barrel for example. A G22 to G23 would not merit or be granted a new patent. But that won't stop people from parroting the likes of Sootch and wait for the next "patent number."

I have a hard enough time keeping the model numbers straight and now they have a Glock 45 that shoots 9?!

Guys... come on!

The sales counter for that one is going to be rich:
"Looking for a Glock 45."
"I have this one that shoots 9mm."
"I said 45."
"Oh you want a 21."
"I said 45."
"It is a 45."
"you said it was a 21."
"Yes."
"I want a 45."

Even if I had a gen 5 (I don't) i know i had a pile of 17 mags from gen 3 and 4 before i got the 19X and they all work fine.

Yep, same here, before I got my 19x, I had 2 - Gen3 17 mags, 1 - Gen4 17 mag, 1 - 15rd. 17 mag and 2 - Magpul GL9 17rd mags. With the 17 rd. mag, and the 2 - 19 rd. extended mags from the 19x I now have 9 mags in the rotation for my Gen3 17 and 19x. These all work great!
 
So the 45 is in 9mm
The 40 is in 10mm
The 22 is in .40
That must mean that the model 9 will be in .22, and the model 10 will be in .45?

Seriously, since we're changing models with new colors, will the model 46 be the 19X in OD Green and the model 47 the same gun in purple?
 
Not to hijack the thread, but is it just me or do others find the serrations on the front of the Glock 45 and Gen 5 MOS Glocks to be kind of tacky? I don't mind front serrations, but most companies seem to make them a little less pronounced than the rear serrations. On the Glocks, they just sort of look like Glock slapped them on as an afterthought. Completely my opinion, but I'm curious what others think.

I actually like the look of most glocks due to the simplicity and clean lines, unobstructed by unnecessary lines or features.

The FS ruin this for me.

They bug me. They could have slanted them a bit or tarted it up in a dozen other ways. They look cheap to me. But I've never been a fan of FSS in general.

Most people like serrations on the grip panels or the sides or the grip. The trouble with that is that serrations work better on the front and back strap, that is where you will get most of your grip from. It may not look the best, but Glock's not out to win a beauty contest.
 
I think he's talking about the slide serrations, not grip checkering/serrations.

Oops, my bad.:oops:
I can live with or without front slide serrations, but the trend these days is front serrations on the slide. I don’t 5hink the serrations look all that bad, they do match the ones in the rear.
