    How do you tell if you have a Gen1 or 2 Glock 22? I have a Gen 3 26 and Gen 4 23 and know the difference on them. My Glock22 is older and has no finger groves in it. Thanks guy for my first post but longtime guest.

    is the finish on the side of the grip all around or just on the two sides?

    Also how many pins above the trigger?

    Finish is just on the side and and has two pins above the trigger. Front and back of grip has the normal extra rough texture. Great gun just wondered what Gen it was. Always talk about later Gens and how to recognize. Thanks

    Gen1 was only comprised of 17s & 19s. Anything else is Gen2 or greater.

    This answers a question I was going to ask. Thanks. BTW, love the quote. Priceless.
