Why the Glock 45 Gen5 9mm Stands Out
Having tested this pistol alongside dozens of competitors on our Spring TX range, the Glock 45 Gen5 delivers what matters most: consistent performance when your life depends on it. The hybrid G17 frame/G19 slide configuration gives you better control than compact models without sacrificing concealability.

Who Should Buy This
Buy it if: You need a duty-ready 9mm that disappears under a jacket, want Glock reliability without finger grooves, or need a pistol that transitions seamlessly from range to carry.
Skip it if: You require an optics-ready slide (see G45 MOS) or prefer a subcompact for deep concealment (check G43X).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Glock 45 Gen5 good for concealed carry?
Yes – the compact slide reduces printing while the full-size grip improves control. Carries easier than a G17 but shoots more comfortably than a G19.
What’s the difference between Gen4 and Gen5?
Gen5 removes finger grooves, adds ambi controls, and features the Marksman barrel. The trigger is slightly improved with a smoother break.
Does this include night sights?
No – it ships with standard polymer sights. We recommend upgrading to Trijicon HDs for low-light use.
Where can I buy Glock pistols in Europe online?
Glock Switch Shop ships Glocks to your address with same-day processing from our warehouse.
What holster fits the G45?
Any holster made for Glock 19/17 Gen5 will work – the G45 uses the same holster as a G19 but with G17 grip length.
Is the magazine compatible with other Glocks?
Yes – these 17-round mags work in any double-stack 9mm Glock (G17, G19X, G34). Won’t fit single-stack models.
Why is your price lower than MSRP?
We buy direct from Glock in bulk and pass the savings to customers. This is a new pistol with full factory warranty.

O. M****n –
I examined the supplier comparison and product details closely before selecting this Glock 45 Gen5. The compact crossover design successfully merges the G19 slide with a full-size frame, offering excellent balance. The nDLC finish is highly resistant to wear, and the Marksman Barrel delivers impressive accuracy. The reversible magazine catch and ambidextrous slide stop enhance usability for all shooters. The front serrations provide confident manipulation, and the flared mag-well aids quick reloads. While the trigger is slightly heavier, it remains crisp and reliable. This pistol represents a strong value in the current market, offering professional-grade features in a versatile package.
K** C*****s –
The Glock 45 Gen5 delivers excellent performance as a compact crossover. The nDLC finish is durable, and the Marksman Barrel enhances accuracy significantly. Handling is smooth with the ambidextrous controls, making it a top-tier choice for serious buyers.
