There are a few Glock models with longer than normal slides and barrels.

One is the G17L which is now being made again. Using these longer Glocks shooters gain well over 100 feet per second in the longer barrel. Many shooters use tactical thigh holsters, so they do not have drawing difficulties with these longer guns.

We had a chance to see all of the Glock models in one place so here they are side by side to compare the: Glock 27 subcompact (Overall length 6.29 in.), Glock 23 compact (Overall length 6.85 in.), Glock 22 standard size (Overall length 7.32 in.), Glock 35 tactical long slide (Overall length 8.15 in) and Glock 17L competition longest slide (Overall length is 8.85 in. )

	Here are all the Glock sizes for comparison. the SubCompact Glock 26 the Compact Glock 19 the standard size Glock 17 the tactical longer Glock 34 and the longest Glock the competition model G17L

	Here are the new US made G17L and an older G24C. Note there are no finger groves or light rail on this G24C
	More shots of the US made G17L and an older G24C. Initially the 17L had three holes in the top of the barrel and a corresponding slot in the slide, however later production pistols deleted the holes. The Glock 24C barrel vents are different from the Glock l7L. The G24C has a series of four oval vents in the top of the barrel. They are 1 1/8 inches to 2 7/8 inches back from the muzzle.
	More shots of the two longest Glocks with their slides locked back
