Thoughts on the new Glock G45

Just got done visiting a gun shop here in Phoenix where I got to examine a Glock G45. It is a nice piece of kit and I was quite taken with the size, light weight and nimble qualities of the pistol (G17 frame with a G23 slide).

I am no stranger to Glocks as I already own a G23 and I was prepared to handle something larger and more clunky than that, but I was quite impressed with the G45. I really like the way they milled the end of the slide and the mag well. The finish looks really nice as well and the trigger reset is shorter.

If I dare say the pistol looks like a nicely done, well finished product, even somewhat beautiful.

I can see myself getting this when it comes to Canada. My fervent hope is that it eventually comes in 45 cal with the same dimensions and a 10rd magazine. Not sure if the geometry will allow the same slide width in a 45 ACP but you never know.

If I do break down and decide to finally get a 9mm, this will be the one.

Glad to hear your impressions of it. I know I am really looking forward to finally getting my Glock 48. A shorter resetting trigger will be a big plus.

Also, did you notice if it said made in Austria or made in Georgia?

The 45 is awesome. It solves all the issues (except for that Canadian barrel nonsense) that I had with the 19X. It's not #### colored, it's missing that annoying grip lip that prevents you from being able to use Gen 5 magazines. Basically, it's the perfect iteration of that particular kind of Glock.

That being said, I still think the 17 is my preference.

Sorry I didn't notice where it was made.

I agree. Had the 19X but could not stand the color after a few days. Will be looking at the Glock 48 when it comes out but wish it had a black DLC slide.

Yeah two problems i have with the 48 is that it's silver on top and that the frame doesn't extend all the way to the front on the Canada legal longer version. That said, still a great gun.

Why put more money/work into a firearm when all the fan boys will buy it anyways.
