So, I went nearby to Florida Gun Center in Hialeah. Normally I’d go to Henry’s Range down where the buses don’t run, but weather and time denied that. Since the GLOCK 45 wasn’t a loaner from GLOCK or purchased by me, I had limited time to square a way a proper test run. So, how did it test? And Now For The Test Most of these features are the result of GLOCK consulting with their law enforcment customers, so we may see this pistol making it’s way to departments around the country soon. To be honest, the crossovers look a little goofy to me, but functionally, I see the benefit. You get a shorter sight radius (the distance between the front and rear sights) for faster target acquisition and also the larger frame soaks up some of the recoil. Like the G19x, the GLOCK 45 is a “crossover” pistol, which mates a compact slide to a full-size frame. In addition to being basic, bad, black instead of tan, the GLOCK 45 sports a flared magwell, front serrations, the new-generation Marksman barrel, and all the internal features of Gen5 GLOCK pistols. The GLOCK 45 is regarded as a close cousin of the GLOCK 19x. So, the GLOCK 45 is their 45th product design. It was his 17th patent, though coincidentally it held 17 rounds. Gaston’s (link to book) first handgun was the GLOCK 17 9mm pistol. The number basically corresponds to the design/patent release sequence. I say, “somewhat” since they skip numbers (where’s the GLOCK 44?) on occasion. A word on GLOCK nomenclatureįor those that don’t know, GLOCKs are named somewhat sequentually. However, a trusted friend highly recommended the GLOCK 45 to me, and I really had no choice at that point but to borrow his, and give it a run. I just went in a different direction with my handguns. Not from dislike of the brand (I love GLOCK), but I just don’t have a significant quantity of them. I’m not much of a GLOCK guy, to be honest. For now, let’s do a rare firearm review - this time the GLOCK 45 9mm pistol! Pistol So, you thought I was going to do a rambling political discourse on the folly of red flag laws and the like? Maybe later.
