 GLOCK
GLOCK (not Glock) is an Austrian defense contractor (named after the founder Gaston Glock) mainly known for being the manufacturer of polymer-framed pistols, but it also makes equipment such as field knives and shovels.
Its first pistol model was the classic GLOCK 17 (so named because it was the 17th patent of the company), a 9 mm Luger handgun with a 17 round capacity (unusually large at the time), introduced in the early 1980s as a response to the Austrian army asking for a new sidearm.
GLOCKs are also by far the most common handguns among law enforcement agencies in the United States; many estimates place GLOCK's market share among USA police departments at over 60% (based on total number of guns sold, not percentage of departments).

 GLOCK 24 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glock 17L had all the basic characteristics of the regular Glock 17: polymer frame, "safe action" trigger, seventeen-round magazines, etc. But is had several new design features aimed directly at the competitive shooter: a longer slide with a 6-inch barrel, extended magazine release, and a 3.5-pound trigger pull.
Glock pistols became so popular that, in some places, Limited matches were referred to as "Glock owners' club meetings." In 1992, USPSA modified Limited Class rules at the request of that segment of their membership who felt that Limited Class ought to be restricted to really "practical" pistols shooting practical cartridges.
What serious Glock competitors wanted was a Glock 22 with a lighter trigger, while others suggested that Glock consider introducing a long slide.45 with a compensator system so that those who wanted to could use their Glocks in Open Class.

 GLOCK 17L   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The long-slide pistols I am referring to are the Glock models G17L in 9mm and G24 in.40 S&W. The G24 comes in two variations, the standard G24 and the G24C with compensator ports in the top of the barrel and slide.
At one time, the 17L was also available with a compensated barrel, but it has since been discontinued, probably because the muzzle jump of the unported G17L is insignificant.
These pistols are virtually identical to the standard Glock 9mm G17 and.40 S&W G22 service pistols, except their barrels are 6.02 as opposed to 4.49 inches, and their slides have been lengthened to match.

Owing to the long barrel length, the 17L is not as amenable to concealment as smaller pistols.
