The trigger on the G45 is also their best ever.
GLOCK 45 9MM CERAKOTE PLUS
The G45 gives a full-sized grip purchase for gloved hands, plus G17 capacity, which is why we like the “crossover” idea. Glock shipped the test gun with Ameriglo sights, which are sturdy and easy to align. I ran it around a bit, shooting rapid fire strings at combat targets. If an officer chooses a G45 as a factory stock duty gun, it is Glock’s best duty gun ever. Some Glock fans had already figured out how a G19 slide on a full-sized frame, giving it G19 handling. They did what some of us have been “modding” all along. Glock calls the G45 and G19x, which have almost the exact same specs, except the G19x has a factory colored tan slide, their “crossover” guns. My Gen 3 Glock 19 is pretty accurate, and, unless one steps back another 100 yards or so, most shooters won’t notice the improved groups. The barrels have the new crown and polygonal rifling, which gives better accuracy. The Glock Marksman Barrel is 4.02 inches and the overall weight is 24.98 oz with an empty magazine. I took this as a signal that Glock anticipates a civilian market in areas where citizens surrender their constitutional rights incrementally. Glock sent the G19 MOS and G17 MOS in standard capacity magazines, but not the G45. The G45, and all Gen 5 Glocks, have the more inline feeding angle than my Gen 3 Glocks.
GLOCK 45 9MM CERAKOTE FULL
The flared mag well doesn’t have a deep recess, allowing full access for stage 3 malfunctions.
GLOCK 45 9MM CERAKOTE FREE
While testing the G45, I canted the body once so the magazine didn’t drop free and was able to rip and reload in a rather satisfactory shooting session. The G45 does not have the G19x front lip Frank Borrelli mentions in his Glock 19X review here, and I am glad. I wondered if anyone else likes seeing the “copper butter” (Factory Based Copper Lubricant) that is always on new Glocks. When I first inspected the guns, I wondered why Glock didn't just make the G45 an MOS model also. They are set up for a variety of popular optics, and come with "plugs", which fit flush for users who don’t use RMR products full time. The MOS models are Gen 5, with optic platform cutouts already milled into the slide. Glock shipped a G45, G17 MOS, and G19 MOS to me at the same time. The G45 has the swappable backstraps and the simple grip checkering, popular upgrades on the Gen 4 models. The most obvious difference is the fact that the Gen 5 has the features of the Gen 4, except the finger grooves. It is a Gen 5 design, which means it incorporates all of the design enhancements of the Gen 4 models, including Glock Marksman Barrel, ambi slide stop, and flared mag well.
The G45 is a 9x19mm is a full sized, full capacity handgun with a 6.65 inch compact slide. However, I think the newest innovation here is a confusing name change. I would own one, and, if I were still on patrol, this would be my duty gun. At the end of the test I determined it was definitely a great patrol gun. I had an opportunity to try out the new Glock 45.
