Glock 18
The GLOCK 18 is a handgun manufactured by GLOCK. It is a GLOCK 17 with a select mode of fire switch on its slide that enables it to fire in semi-automatic or fully-automatic modes.
Except for the parts added to achieve this it is identical to a GLOCK 17.
The GLOCK 18 is a law enforcement-only pistol that is used along with a 31 or 33 round magazine. Standard GLOCK 17, 17 round and extended 19 round magazines can also be used.
The difference between the GLOCK 18 and the GLOCK 18C is that the barrel and slide are ported on the C model to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.
