Unfortunately, that is a Gen2 not a Gen1

If it was actually a Gen1, the last two sales that I am aware of (both private sales) sold for over $20,000. This gun is not a Gen1 though.
Holy!!!! What makes them sell for so much? And how do you tell gen 1 from gen 2?

Very few were ever made and most of what was made we’re turned in for Gen2s and destroyed.
Glock only made the 17, 17L and 19 with the Gen1 frame. The earliest model 19s were actually 17 frames cut down to sub-compact size.
You tell what Gen a Glock is by the frame. On the left is a Gen1 17 frame. It has a consistent pebbled finish covering the entire grip. On the right is a Gen2 frame. It has a front and back strip with a rough texture and the pebble only on the sides.

Looks like the light caused my desk to reflect on the side of the Gen1. Sorry about that, late night photo with my phone.

That’s actually a Gen2. It is the first generation that Glock made the G20. But the G20, like the majority of Glock’s guns, were originally built on the second generation frame - RTF texture on the front and back straps.
2nd Gen was always my favorite and the G20 (and 29) are awesome guns!!!

I’ve been told twice that it’s a gen. 1 and I’ve been told twice it’s a gen. 2. I really don’t care because it’s powerful and holds a lot of ammo in one clip. I bought it new 1994, thanks too Bill Clinton talking about banning high capacity magazines.
I emailed Glock and was informed that you are correct, my G20 is a Gen. 2 and was imported from Australia.

It's definitely a Gen2 but that doesn't change anything related to value because the are no Gen1s - it's still the first frame one of Glock's greatest pistols, the G20, was ever built on. Of all the other 10mm that were developed around that time, none of them come close to the G20.
Just before COVID, I added a Gen3 G20c and G21c - they are amazing shooters!

I buy them too keep, that’s why I buy Glock pistols. I love that they don’t have a safety on them, your finger shouldn’t be on the trigger anyway unless your going to pull the trigger. Their quality pistols is another reason to buy them.

I have a neighbor that has a Gen2 19. I did the research when I saw the not dropping free all polymer mags.
I’m not sure what your saying, maybe you were replying to someone above. I’ve been told that my Glock 20 is a gen1 and I’ve been told it’s a gen 2. I really don’t care what generation they are, because as long as you don’t limp wrist them they shoot as they should.

Not referring to your post. If you read my post I was referring to the Gen2 19. When was your G20 born? Tupperware box? I just did quick Duck-Duck-Go search and found this.
1st generation Glock 20??
I was under the impression that Glock never produced the Glock 20 in a frist generation. Here is alink to one on gunbroker right now. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=39233821 g10

That’s is the same thing that I was told about my 20. It’s one of the first 20’s Glock made, however it’s a second generation frame. The same thing that your link said. I bought my 20 in 1994, if I remember correctly. It’s been a great companion!!!🙂
Have a great Independence Day and a blessed year.

Send the serial number to Glock. Maybe they can date it?
Have a great Independence Day too!

If you email them the serial number they will tell you the import date or mfg date, if it was made in the US.
