Does the TG-M come in different sizes?

I've been comparing pics of my TG-M versus others here, and there seems to be two different sizes. I've seen the knife referenced as both a TG "Medium" and a TG "Mini", but thought that was just different interpretations of the acronym. The pics below would infer that there are actually two different sizes. Can anyone help clarify?
Thanks.

You can see the differences in the length of blade past the end of the fuller. Also, the blade-to-handle ratio is almost 1:1 on the smaller TGM, whereas the blade is longer than the handle on my TGM.
 
I dont know about different sizes, but the one I have from O2W has few differences from the one I had in Comp Finish, from the 1st run. I was gona start a thread about it a while back, than sold it. I"ll try to post few pics soon.
 
The M stands for Maddi, one of Jerry's twins. You have a Combat Grade Team Gemini M, or CGTG M, and the bottom pic is a Team Gemini Light Brigade M, or TGLB M. And you are correct, there looks to be about an inch difference in blade length.
 
I think the "team gemini" comes in 3 sizes, the "M" being one of the three.. regular (tglb & original tg), short (M I think), an long (P) .. but I could be wrong
 
The Fuller is the most noticeable difference to me, among few others..the Blue one is from O2W

Cool - thanks for clarifying what the "M" stands for.
 
The origin of the name Team GEMINI (astrological sign & constellation representing twins) was named after both of Jerry's twins back when first offered in I think it was 2010.
The TG-M (Maddie, the smaller of Jerry's twins) was originally a limited special CG offer at Blade 2012.
The TG'14 was the closest we have seen to a non custom shop satin LE version back in 2014.
The TG-P (Paul, the larger of Jerry's twins) was offered as a Battle Grade during O2W this year in 2016.
As with most of Jerry's blades, there are and probably will be more variants of them all produced over time so it will always be fun to see the differences between them all.
With this biannual release pattern I wonder (and look forward to) what 2018 will bring? ;)
 
So...you mean to tell me...they DO exist!?! A true TGLBM not just TGM? So the ones above with the larger fuller has a milled out handle also, making it lighter than the TGMs offered last year during o2w?
