View source for Glock 17, 9×19mm

The Glock 17 was designed for the Austrian military and police, who adopted it in 1985 as the P80. The manufacturers used what was then the latest technology to produce a safe-action pistol with a high-capacity magazine, controllable recoil, and light weight. Its frame and most low-stress parts are plastic, but barrel and receiver are solid steel and easily spotted by X-ray machines and metal detectors – despite early media hype to the contrary. From 1999, it comes with an integral [[accessory rail]] below the barrel. A common option is a 19-round magazine that's the same size as the original ($32.50, 0.7 lb.).

The Glock 18 (1986-) is a rare selective-fire machine pistol: Wt. 2.6/1.1, RoF 21, Shots 31+1, ST 9, Bulk -3, Cost $1,000/$34, LC2. It can also use the Glock 17 magazine (Bulk -2), and vice versa.

Glocks are available in many calibers:
:Glock 20 (1990-), 10×25mm Auto: Dmg 3d-1 pi+, Wt. 2.4/0.7, Shots 15+1, ST 10, Rcl 4.
:Glock 21 (1991-), .45 ACP: Dmg 2d pi+, Wt. 2.4/0.8, Shots 13+1, ST 10, Rcl 3.
:Glock 22 (1991-), .40 S&W: Dmg 2d+2 pi+, Wt. 2.1/0.7, Shots 15+1.
:Glock 31 (1997-), .357 SIG: Dmg 3d-1 pi, Wt. 2.1/0.7, Shots 15+1, ST 9, Rcl 3.
:Glock 37 (2003-), .45 GAP: Dmg 2d pi+, Wt. 2.2/0.6, Shots 10+1, ST 9, Rcl 3.
Slightly more compact models include:
:Glock 19 (1988-), 9×19mm: Dmg 2d+1 pi, Wt. 1.8/0.5, Shots 15+1.
:Glock 23 (1991-), .40 S&W: Dmg 2d+1 pi+, Wt. 1.9/0.6, Shots 13+1.
:Glock 25 (1995-), .380 ACP: Dmg 2d-1 pi, Wt. 1.7/0.4, Shots 15+1.
Subcompact models, all with Acc 1 and Bulk -1, are popular as backup guns. These include:
:Glock 26 (1995-), 9×19mm: Dmg 2d+1 pi, Wt. 1.6/0.4, Shots 10+1.
:Glock 27 (1995-), .40 S&W: Dmg 2d+1 pi+, Wt. 1.7/0.4, Shots 9+1.
:Glock 36 (1999-), .45 ACP: Dmg 2d-1 pi+, Wt. 1.7/0.4, Shots 6+1, ST 9, Rcl 3.

Most of the smaller versions can accept the magazines of their larger cousins, but this negates their Bulk advantage. A tiny 0.2-lb. wiper suppressor is available for the Glock 26 (-2 to Hearing, -1 Bulk), and lasts for 20 shots.

Glocks have spread worldwide since the 1990s. They've become the most popular handguns in American law enforcement thanks to their safe handling and low cost and weight. The Glock 22 and 23 have been the issue sidearms of the FBI and DEA since 1998, and are in service with many other U.S. and foreign police agencies. Over 2.5 million Glocks have been made.
