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.
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.

Just got a g19 OD, trying to figure out what gen it is the serial# is CFSE206
I have a Gen 2 Glock 22 the 3 letter prefix is CNB… haven’t had any luck finding a chart that can date it.
I HAVE A RECOVERED GLOCK WITH A SLIDE SERIAL # OF SGL117. A CHECK OF THIS SERIAL NUMBER REVEALED THAT IT IS NOT A FIREARM SERIAL NUMBER. THE RECEIVER SERIAL # OF KA227938 IS UNUSUAL LOOKING ALSO. THE INTERNAL MECHANICS OF THE GUN LOOK UNUSUAL. IS THIS EVEN A FIREARM? WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS S PELLET OR BB GUN?
How do I find out what year my Glock 19 was manufactured?
I have a G17 Gen 5. CBUA815, just want to find out this particular one’s life.
