GLOCK Serial Number Look Up
The Martix allows GLOCK owners to look up the serial number letter prefix for first run GLOCKs in the U.S. The Matrix is the the official list of all first run GLOCKs that were shipped or built in the U.S. First run GLOCKs are the most valuable, since they were the first pistol of the GLOCK model. The Matrix is part of the GCA Master Journal and s updated as new GLOCK pistols are introduced. The GCA Master Journal is included in all new memberships and membership renewals.
Please send specific questions to: contact@glockcollectorsassociation.org We receive many inquiries about GLOCK serial numbers and letter prefixes and GCA members are put at the head of list. Please provide as much information as you can about the pistol as well as provide photos. Be patient and we will get to your inquiry as soon as possible.
GLOCK Serial Numbers And Letter Prefixes
GLOCK serial numbers include a letter prefix followed by three digits. For Gen1 and early Gen2 models there is a two-letter prefix; for late Gen2, Gen3, and early Gen4 models there is a three-letter prefix. For Gen4 Variant 1, late Gen4, and Gen5 models there is a four-letter prefix. Pistols imported into the United States also have a “US” suffix.
GLOCK Manufacturing Runs
In general, GLOCK produces pistols in runs of one thousand, so a G17 Gen1 will have a serial number that looks like this: AF000US, AF001US, AF002US thru to AF999US. GLOCK has also produced small quantity runs of prototype or salesman samples. These pistols are not runs of 1,000 guns. In the case of an over run on a contract, GLOCK will use the remaining frames in shorter runs.

Glock 19 serial number: AKK057
Wanting to know how old it is and what Gen?
This is a Glock 17 Gen 1 model with serial number CD416. I’m curious about when it was manufactured and if it has any unique features. Thank you.
My gen 1 model 17 is serial ET994 US, code LTD. It’s had little use, and an adjustable rear sight. Was purchased new at K’s Merchandise around December 1989. Does this pistol have any collectable value? (has original box, a second identical box from a factory recall, and tools) Thanks in advance for any responses!
