How do you determine which generation glock 22 you have?

To determine the generation of your Glock 22, look for the markings on the slide and frame. The first generation lacks finger grooves, while the second has them and features a more rounded trigger guard. The third generation includes finger grooves and an accessory rail, while the fourth generation introduced a new polygonal rifling and a different grip texture. You can also check the serial number prefix, as each generation has specific prefixes associated with its production years.
