Glocks

The Glocks should be model 22 and 23, not 17 and 19. They are carried by FBI agents, and the FBI uses those .40 S&W models. Axeman 06:42, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

And 9mm weapons are far more common, and reliable. Accuracy really doesn't matter all that much in film and television. --Crazycrankle 07:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to re-post what it says on our Glock page:

NOTE: Although the Glock 22 is an issue weapon for the FBI, this does not mean that characters who are FBI Agents in movies or TV shows necessarily use them. Hollywood's propmasters and armorers preferred, until recently, to use 9x19mm pistols, due to the difficulties of converting larger calibers to blank-fire. Consequently, there are almost no Glock 22s in movies or TV shows; if a character is supposed to be an FBI Agent, it is most likely that they are using a Glock 17, standing in for the Glock 22. IMFDB members have frequently made the assumption that any Glock used by an FBI Agent in a movie must be a .40-caliber model, even though (it bears repeating) the weapons used in movies do not always correspond to the weapons used by a particular law enforcement agency in real life. Unless you have good evidence, do not assume that a Glock pistol is a .40-caliber model, simply because the FBI uses this weapon in real life. When in doubt, it is usually safer to assume that the Glock in question is a 9mm model.

So the short answer is, no, the Glocks do not necessarily have to be G22s and G23s, because this is a TV show, not real life. If you are trying to identify guns in a TV show on the basis of real life, you are thinking the wrong way. -MT2008 15:42, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
