The Glock 45 is a semi-compact crossover pistol that many people have desired for years. It can be considered as a hybrid between a Glock 19 and a Glock 17 and it combines their most popular and most trusted features. Since the Glock 19 grip is a bit short for some hands, the Glock 45 has a longer grip, more similar to Glock 17, that can also hold more rounds. Despite that, the Glock 45 weighs about 0.8 ounces less than the Glock 19, which might be irrelevant at first glance, but still, it makes a difference allowing less fatigue when shooting. The Glock 45 is designed for average shooters and might not be as accurate as the Glock 19 at long ranges, but with follow-up shots, the Glock 45 has the upper hand. Both guns are greatly lightweight and good for concealed carry, although that is not their main purpose. The overall length of the Glock 45 is 7.44 inches and is slightly longer than the Glock 19. Due to the reduced height of the frame, the Glock 45 can’t hold 15-round G19 magazines. Considering the design of the Glock 19 and the Glock hard-surface non-reflective black finish, the Glock 45 is a great service pistol favored by many handgun owners.
