GLOCK 24

|
The GLOCK 24 is a pistol manufactured by GLOCK. It is a GLOCK 17L modified to fire the .40 S&W ammunition. It uses a modified slide, frame, .40 S&W barrel and magazine but is otherwise near identical in looks to the GLOCK 17L. It has a 15-round magazine capacity.
The GLOCK 24 has undergone 3 major revisions since its introduction and current models are called 3rd generation GLOCK 24s.
The difference between the GLOCK 24 and the GLOCK 24C is that the barrel and slide are ported on the C model to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.
Like most GLOCK guns, the name is often referred to as a "Glock" and not as "GLOCK". According to GLOCK—the company that manufactures the gun—this is incorrect. GLOCK refers to all its guns with all uppercase letters.
