Special Calibers
In some countries, it is illegal for civilians to own guns that are chambered in the same caliber as the military. To support the civilian market in these countries, Glock has produced versions of their 9mm guns in 9x21 caliber and versions of the .45 ACP guns in .45 HP. The 9x21 cartridge is identical to the 9x19 except the brass case is 2mm longer. The .45 HP is 1mm shorter than the .45 ACP.

In Italy, the 9x21 guns have the following special markings:
dot  "9x21" on the left side of the slide
dot  The Italian "Numero di Catalogo" on the left side of the slide. The Italian Government keeps a register of all firearms available in the country. Each single model has it's own "Numero di Catalogo" number. Therefore, all Glock 19 9x21s have number "CAT 5693", all Glock 17 9x21s have a different CAT number, etc. Of course, this code is different from the number attributed by Glock to each single pistol.
dot  Two small Italian Governmental marks on the right side of the slide. These marks certify that the handgun has been imported in compliance with the local applicable rules and that it has been tested at the Italian Governmental testing ground (Banco di Prova). All pistols are tested there with a few very powerful loads before being distributed to the retail dealers.

Why are the Glosk 25 and Glock restricted in the US?
The G25 and G28 are .380 ACP versions of the G19 & G26. Because of their caliber they do not get enough import points for normal importation and are only available to LE and military. See here for details.

Glock 17A
In a show of support for the continent down under, Glock has created a model just for Australia. The latest gun laws in that country specify that handguns must have minimum barrel length of 120mm. So Glock crated the model 17A, which is simply a Glock 17 with an extended, 120mm barrel.

Glock 17DK
Australia's not the only country getting custom Glocks to comply with local laws. Danish law requires handguns to be at least 210 mm long so the Glock 17DK is a standard G17 with a 122.5mm barrel, bringing the guns total length to 210mm.
