Gen 2 Glocks are increasingly sought after for their clean, rail-free lines and slimmer grips. This pistol retains those original ergonomics, offering a compact footprint without finger grooves or accessory rail.
The Tenifer nitriding on the slide and barrel delivers exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance, a hallmark of early Glocks and a key factor in their service adoption.
All three major components—slide, barrel, and frame—share matching serial numbers, confirming factory originality and enhancing collector appeal.
Austrian proof marks on the barrel and slide document its original manufacture in Glock’s Deutsch-Wagram facility, aligning with its 1990s production era.
The included 10-round magazine dates to the federal assault-weapons ban period, underscoring the pistol’s historical context and ensuring compliance in capacity-restricted jurisdictions.
