What happened to number 24?

They did, it was a longslide .40 S&W, but I don't know what happened to it. I guess it is the G35 now.

 

Glock named products by the order he manufactured them. The Glock 17 was the 17th product he produced. I think that's what I read somewhere. I'm sure others can shed more light on this.

 

Where is the Glock 1-16?

 

The Glock 17 was his 17th patent, not product. Thats why it starts at 17 and there is no 1-16, patents that they didn't end up using or other possible products.

 

Ahh, thats makes sense

 

Wikipedia has this listed as a "competition" model.

 

The 24 and 17L were the competition models before the 34 and 35 were produced, I believe.

 

The 24 is still available. It is also listed in the 2012 product magazine that just came in the mail. One of the LGS I visit, has a NIB on the shelf. I have been tempted to get it.

 

What's different between the 24 and 35? I've never actually seen a 24 in person.

 

The barrel on the 24 is 6.06" and the 35 is 5.31".

 

Buds gun shop online has one for sale! Yea the barrel is just over a half inch longer.

 

Oh gotcha.

The 24 is essentially a 22L like the 17L is to the 17. The 24 is more expensive than a G35. That's one reason I bought a Gen4 34 over a 17L.

 

Great info in here. I often wondered where the numbers came from.

 

The 17L and the 24 aren't eligible for IDPA, hence the 34 and 35 came out with the slightly shorter barrel.
