Description
Included:
The Glock 45 is a 9×19 mm Luger caliber semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Glock. It represents a crossover design that combines the best elements of Glock's full-size and compact platforms for service, duty, defensive, and practical shooting applications.
Overview
The Glock 45 features a compact slide mated to a full-size frame, providing the shootability and control of a larger pistol with a slightly reduced overall length for improved handling. This configuration originated from the design principles of the Glock 19X and incorporates Glock's proven engineering tailored to global law-enforcement specifications.
Caliber and Operating System
Caliber: 9×19 mm Luger (9 mm)
Action: Striker-fired with Glock's Safe Action® System, featuring three independent passive mechanical safeties that disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically re-engage when released.
Frame and Slide
Frame Material: Reinforced polymer for durability and reduced weight.
Slide Material: Steel with nDLC (nitrogen-diffused Diamond-Like Carbon) finish for enhanced surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection.
Slide Serrations: Front and rear slide serrations provide positive traction for slide manipulation in various conditions.
Ergonomics and Controls
Grip: Full-size polymer frame with Glock's Modular Backstrap System (MBS) to adjust grip circumference for individual comfort and control.
Ambidextrous Controls: Ambidextrous slide stop levers and a reversible magazine catch allow configuration for left- or right-handed shooters.
Magazine Well: Slightly flared magazine well promotes faster, more reliable reloads.
Sights and Accessory Provisions
Sights: Standard Glock fixed polymer sights; night sight or steel sight options may be available by model or aftermarket.
Accessory Rail: Integrated rail in front of the trigger guard supports mounting of lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories.
Barrel and Accuracy
Barrel: Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) with enhanced rifling for improved accuracy and consistency.
Barrel Length: Approximately 4.02 in (102 mm) - typical for this model.
Capacity and Magazines
Standard Magazine Capacity: 17 rounds - 9×19 mm.
Optional Capacities: Compatible with extended magazines including 19, 24, 31, and 33-round versions depending on local regulations and configurations.
Dimensions
Overall Length: ~189 mm (7.44 in)
Height (with magazine): ~139 mm (5.47 in)
Overall Width: ~34 mm (1.34 in)
Slide Length: ~174 mm (6.85 in)
Weight
Unloaded: Approximately 616 g (21.73 oz)
With Empty Magazine: Approximately 694 g (24.52 oz)
Loaded (17-round): ~860 g (30.34 oz)
Safety Features
Trigger Safety: Integrated trigger safety helps prevent unintentional discharge.
Firing Pin Safety: Prevents firing pin movement unless the trigger is deliberately pulled.
Drop Safety: Mechanically prevents discharge if the pistol is dropped.
Variants
Standard G45: Base compact crossover model.
Glock 45 MOS: Optic-ready variant with Modular Optic System cuts in the slide for direct mounting of reflex sights.
Gen6 G45: Newer generation with refined ergonomics, optic-ready design, and flat-faced trigger for consistent finger placement (availability may vary by region).
Use Case
The Glock 45 is suitable for duty, defensive carry, range use, and law-enforcement applications due to its balance of control, capacity, and reliability. Its hybrid configuration offers easier handling with a full-size grip and compact slide for quicker target acquisition and concealment capability.
