The Glock 24 is a pistol manufactured by Glock. It is a Glock 22, with a longer slide and barrel designed to make the weapon more accurate and competitive in shooting events. The frame is identical to the Glock Model 22. It is similar in concept to the Glock Model 17L.
The Glock 24 has undergone three major revisions since its introduction and latest models are called 3rd generation Glock 24s.
The difference between the Glock 24 and the Glock 24C is that the barrel and slide are ported on the C model to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.
While the G24 was officially discontinued upon the release of the G34 and G35, special orders for parts and complete pistols can be made.
