Post number 1 and post number 7 in this thread specifically.

And the the first response to the OP clearly explained what he was missing. So you're right again! Reading can be fun!

It also claimed it was a Gen 3. Which it isn't.

We can go back and forth here, but what's the point?

The OP's specimen is a "single pin" version, referring to the locking block cluster. So call it a "one pin", "two pin", "three pin" or a Gen 2 or whatever the heck you want to. He asked about the block pin count.

I really don't need to compare witts with anyone.

I have always heard of Glock refer to there guns as two or three pin.
Not one or even four.

But If somebody refers to a Glock as a one pin I know what they are talking about.
Call it a two pin? That may require additional questioning. [Above the trigger?]
Is it Correct to call it that?

People do. And it doesn't matter to me. As long as we both know what were talking about.

I've heard it both ways, and it really doesn't matter. I think people that call it a "one pin" or a "two pin" are just talking about the block cluster, as ALL Glocks have the grip pin. Maybe it's lazy, or maybe it's actually quite specific.

Who cares? Shoot that thing!

My aunt left me a bunch of beanie babies. I wouldn't care how many pins the Glock has, I'd be eternally grateful she liked Glocks.

So what I hear you all saying is Glock perfection is almost as perfect as CZ perfection.

So does that one pin ( or maybe two pin ) Glock use a clip or a magazine...?
Also is it a :
Pistol...
Handgun...
Gat...
Piece...

Just kidding with all of the above...kinda.
But the discussion on just what a part is called or even what counts as the part in question , is important.
Information needs to be shared , in order to learn .

Good point Andy.

1) Glocks are usually described as "2 pin" or "3 pin"
It's collector nomenclature more than official Glock nomenclature
The TMH always has a pin and the locking block can have 1 or 2 pins

2) Agree it's a Gen 2 as there is no accessory rail present

The 3rd pin was added when the models chambered for the larger cartridges were introduced to stabilize the locking block.
Apparently it is not needed for 9mm as the Gen 5 9mm has gone back to "2-pin"

This is good to remember in all aspects of the gun collecting world...many terms or names for items are just that...used only by collectors...not by the actual makers or users of said gun.

This issue comes up a lot in the muzzeloading world...many names and terms are 20th and 21st century names and terms that collectors use and not anything a man of the 19th century would have used.

Now back to that wonder of plastic and striker fired magic...the Glock...

They are so ugly, that they are actually beautiful.
Especially if you build (assemble) one from scratch and have carnal knowledge of its inner workings.

Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder...good thing love is blind...

Glocks do nothing for me...but with that said , I have shot many of them...they all have worked well and shot just fine.
They are a good robust pistol , that does exactly what it is supposed to do...
Just not my cup of tea as the saying goes.

No.

Yours is an early Gen2 single pin.

The other posters are blind I guess.

i call them 2 and 3 pin glocks cause i count the grip pin

 

[Member 34319]

Oh look another Glock thing to argue about

 

[CHLChris]

Yes, Gen 3 9mm's had 2 iterations. 2-pin 9mm's were first, and then Glock updated "perfection" and added a third pin without calling them a new generation.

 

[Kruel J]

Shoot what works for you. I really don't care. Carry on gents.

 

[DirectDrive]

I think in 2019 I might try bombing some threads with the Glock "1-pin" and "2-pin" thing.
Just for fun.



I'll say that KJ made me do it.
