There are plenty of deviations from this list from Glock, which should be no big surprise. Label formats are different outside the U.S. These only appear on pistol cases seen in the U.S., regardless of where they were manufactured. Here is a breakdown of the product/SKU numbers found in the upper right corner of the case label. See that info at Product SKU Number Breakdown. I’ve written before about how the SKU number in the upper right is broken down to signify the details of the pistol. An exception to this is the slimlines, which come with two magazines. That’s certainly plausible.įor Gen 3, white and red label come with 2 magazines, blue label come with 3.įor Gen 4 and later, all guns regardless of label color come with 3 magazines. I’ve heard that yellow labels are just faded orange labels, or just maybe a different supplier of labels for the rebuilt guns. Yellow: Rebuilt (in two cases I’ve seen, Gen 4 MOS, and cutaway).These also don’t usually show the quantity or capacity of the magazines on the label in the normal middle-lower space. Can be sold to anyone, and are not required to meet MAP pricing And they often don’t show the type of sites or trigger weight in the upper-middle space. Could be just overseas/export contract overruns. Can be sold to anyone, and are not required to meet MAP pricing. The buyer must meet blue label requirements to be eligible (see ). Red: High capacity magazines (high capacity mags hold 10+ rounds).White label pistols are often now referred to as “California compliant” pistols. This includes (at one time or another):Ĭalifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont. This was to comply with states with magazine capacity limitations. White: Low capacity magazines (mags do not exceed 10 rounds).There are at least seven pistol case label colors used on Glocks seen in the U.S.: Early Gen 3 pistols still came in the old Tupperware style cases that were updated to fit pistols with finger grooves. This occurred after the beginning of the Gen 3 pistol production. It should be noted that the various colors discussed here really only started when Glock went to the clam-shell style cases. Let’s dive into the meaning of the various colors. Why? Well, with everything Glock, there’s a reason. Shooters in the United States have often noticed that the label on the Glock pistol case comes in different colors. In reality, the G45 has far more in common with a Gen 5 G19 or G17 than it does with the G19X The 19X is available in the SL version, which comes from the factory with a color matching Streamlight TLR7A light that has the Glock logo on the bottom.(There was a very limited run of 389 Glock 19X pistols with threaded barrels for a special contract, but only 8 are in private hands, including the one I own.) 45 is also available in MOS with threaded barrel in FDE. G45 is available with factory threaded barrel in black, gray, and FDE – all come with suppressor sights – some Ameriglo.G45 is available in MOS (in black, FDE and gray), 19X isn’t.G19X doesn’t have the newer breech cut that the newer Gen 5 pistols like the G45 have (which aids in ejection).Also would require the #33601 11 coil mag spring). G19X comes with 2×19 round mags and 1×17 round mag (although you can add ‘+’ floor plate, which is Glock part #7151, and insert, which is part #7165 to 17 round mags to make them 19 round.Current production Gen 5 G45 has front serrations, G19X doesn’t.G19X has a removable lanyard loop, G45 doesn’t (although Glock does make a black lanyard loop).There have been more than 20 versions of mags just for the G17. I put quotes around “Gen 5” because mags aren’t really generational like the pistols are. G19X won’t take “Gen 5” mags unless you swap the floor plates.
G19X uses maritime spring cups, G45 uses normal spring cups (although they’re both interchangeable).G19X is coyote (NOT FDE), G45 is available in black, FDE, BFG, and gray.G19X has the nPVD slide finish, 45 has the standard Gen 5 nDLC finish.G19X has the overbite at the bottom of the front strap.This also results in the G45 being slightly (1mm) wider. Gen 5 G45 has a flared mag well, G19X doesn’t.I have compiled a list of differences that I have noticed and included them below. There are a number of differences between them that make such a comment somewhat silly. I have seen some people posting that the Glock 45 is just a black 19X.
