    What is the difference between the Glock G 20, G 22, G 35 frames? They're all .40's

    No maam', they are NOT all 40's.

    The G20 is on the largest Glock frame, the same size, used for the 45, and it is in 10MM, not 40. Yes, the 10MM is 40 cal in diameter and shoots the same bullet diameter as a 40, but it has a lot more bump than a 40 when it is loaded to its full potential. If you want more decisive info on a 10MM Auto Vs. 40 S&W, let me know, and I would be happy to explain.

    The Glock 20, and 30 are 10MM, and 45 respectively, built on the largest of the Glock full sized frames. The G17, G22, and G31 are the same frame, and are the 9mm/40 S&W/357 Sig full sized frames.


    The 45 ACP/10mm frames are larger than their counterpart 9mm/40 S&W/357 SIG frames.

    Reading comprehension 101.
    Did you look on Glock's site by any chance?

    Glock has a few different "MAIN" frames (there are a couple others out there).

    Full size 9mm/.357 Sig/.40
    Compact 9mm/.357 Sig/.40
    Subcompact 9mm/.357 Sig/.40

    Full size .45 ACP/ 10mm
    Compact .45 ACP/ 10mm
    Subcompact .45 ACP

    Not sure what frame they are using for the .45 GAP but IIRC it is the 9mm/.357 Sig/ .40.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock_pistol

    9x19mm Parabellum (Glock 17, 18, 19, 26, 34)
    10mm Auto (Glock 20, 29)
    .45 ACP (Glock 21, 30, 36)
    .40 S&W (Glock 22, 23, 24, 27, 35)
    .380 ACP (Glock 25, 28)
    .357 SIG (Glock 31, 32, 33)
    .45 GAP (Glock 37, 38, 39)


    For your original question the 20 is not a .40 so a different frame. The 17, 18, 22, 24, 31, 34 and 35 all use the same frame.

    He has his own ATE sticky thread for NFA weapons...which I might add, is very helpful for those who can read.

    It means that if someone takes the time to read it they will find the answers they are looking for. Well I hope that is what it means anyhow [:D]

    I try to give detailed answers. Most of the time they are not that hard to find. Plus I back up my sources that way hopefully some will go to them, read them and learn more then they ever wanted to.

    Not been offered a MOD, never really thought about it. Semi problem would be with my shift work sometimes I am here lots and other times gone for several days to weeks.

    Thanks for the kind words though.

    The GAP uses the 9/40/357 frame

    That was one of the purposes in inventing the GAP, was to package a .45 in the standard frame size with a staggered magazine, prior to the SF the Larger frame 20/21 has a larger diameter grip, cumbersome for smaller hands


    Though the GAP round seems to be a marketing failure, the model 37 is a very nice shooting pistol, especially if you enjoy shooting the model 22. The size of a model 22 frame with less felt recoil than the .40


    In reference to the below comment

    That's true!!! This is what a Glock 37 looks like after an over pressed, improperly seated factory round blows apart in a partially unsupported chamber...Ammunition Manufacturer took responsibility for it and all our guns were replaced with 21SFs

    It was still a nice shooting pistol, especially since it never blew up in my hand!! No injuries in that event by the way. Just some hurt feelings [:p]

    Less felt recoil?.... except for when it blows up in your hand.
