Answer :

Blog Administrator -
Glock has a unique history.
See below for details:
The firearm, mainly handguns are manufactured in Austria.
Glock wanted to stay consistent in its handgun production so improvements and upgrades were called 'Generations' - Gen.
There have been 4 Generations of Glock so far.
Gen 1; Gen 2; Gen 3; and the latest Gen 4.
Gen 3's were extremely popular worldwide and are used by various law enforcement and military.
Gen 1 Glocks are just now becoming somewhat of a collectors item.

I personally own a Gen 3, Model 30 (45 acp compact).

Glock Approximate Timeline Dates:

Gen 1 - 1982 Introduction

Gen 1 - 1984, Introduction to the USA Market

Gen 2 - 1988 Introduction
