What is the "FS" on the end of Glock model names?

[evan the cdn]

After resisting it for a long time I've just started getting interested in Glocks. Some of the places that list them for sale (including Questar) have an "FS" at the end of the model names. What does that stand for?

Fixed sights I believe.

Thanks guys. I didn't know they made any with adjustable sights.

FS = Fixed sights

SF = Short Frame, despite lots of people thinking it's slim frame (including me at first

If I get an SF I'm going to insist that it stands for "Special Forces" because it sounds way cooler than the other two.

FS = For Sale... time to get something else like a M&P9.

You mean the blatant second attempt by S&W to copy a Glock...Yeah, I would get right on that.

FS is an Abbreviation, in Austrian for "Tupperware Gun"

I thought FS stood for "faux" sights... As in: You need to replace the little plastic things before they get worn off by a holster...

Na, Glocks by definition can NOT be! Too SQUARE!

The "attempt" has been a complete success! Why does it bother you so? The M&Ps are simply better guns.

Evan, the "competition" Glocks come with adjustable sights.

SF= slim frame

What he said, SF stand for "Slim Frame" not "Short Frame".

FS = full service ...... oops, wrong forum.

What he said, SF stand for "Slim Frame" not "Short Frame".

The "SF" stands for "short frame" on the Glock 21SF because the handle is a few millimetres shorter from front to back but the width of the frame is still the same dimensions as the regular Glock 21. The Glock 36 has a slimmer frame.
