What do the model numbers mean?
The first Glock was named 17 because it was Gaston Glocks 17th patent. The rest are named in order of introduction. (Except the G22 & G23 which were released before the G20 & G21.)

I found this here about halfway down the page: http://www.glockfaq.com/models.htm

I did some quick searching and that is all that I came up with, I have read this several different times on different fourms. Hopefully I didn't lead you astry without haveing the absolute facts from Glock.

It has to do with the order in which Gaston Glock received his patents.

I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread but I will throw it in here anyhow. I have talked to several guys that shoot the baby Glocks and they shot them just as accuratley as they do the mid size and full size models.

My vote would be for the G26 also. Recoil is easier to manage.
