The Glock 24 is a pistol manufactured by Glock. It is a Glock 17L modified to fire the .40 S&W ammunition. It uses a modified slide, frame, .40 S&W barrel and magazine but is otherwise near identical in looks to the Glock 17L along with a 15-round magazine capacity.

The Glock 24 has undergone three major revisions since its introduction and current 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.^[2]
