Ok cool. I’ll track one down.

It’s an updated Gen 5 G17 full-size small frame with a G19 slide and it shoots 9mm.

Shooters is 5 minutes from stafford forge wma.... jus sayen 

The confusion with the model number is going to be annoying... just like the 40 (10mm) and 35/24/22/23/27 (.40).

 

Going to be playing “Who’s on First?” for the conceivable future...

 

I enjoy my 19x and carry it when I’m not in shorts and t shirts.  I’ll probably end up getting one of these too and a p365

One of the reasons I don't like Glocks is their model or names.  Sweet mother of Mercy!  It makes zero sense! 

Plus they have no soul

Glock 38 is actually a 45 GAP

Glock 40 is actually a 10mm

They do this to confuse everyone.

When i got the call from my sales rep...

Him: Do you want a Glock 45?
Me: No thanks
Him: Its a 9mm
Me: Why call it a Glock 45
Him: because they are retarded
Me: ok ill take them.

Glock is very good at separating me from my money. going to apply for permit this week.

No different than any other manufacturer. S&W 29 is .44Mag and others. Taurus 66 is .357Mag and others. Beretta 92 is 9mm, and others. Etc, etc, etc. The issue is the two digit model name why people get confused.

Wow I never came across those

Just as long as they don't actually make a "Glock 7"

They should have called it a

So maybe I missed the memo, but what does the G45 do that a G17 Gen 5 MOS doesn't?

The G45 is topped with a G19 slide.

So it's faster out of a holster?

More suitable with comps?

Less reciprocating mass?

What's the benefit versus a 17 sized slide?

Technically, yes.  But not really

Comps on 9mm is silly

Yes

None

anybody get a hold of and shoot one yet, how does it shoot?

Just bought a Blue Label Glock 45 tonight at TTC.

10 rounds at 10 yards with crappy plastic Glock sights. I’ll take it.

The trigger feels significantly different than my 3rd Gen guns.

I like the grip without the finger grooves. I never minded them on the 3rd Gen but I like the featureless grip.

impressive shooting there. does the gun feel faster on the draw out of holster on target? i know its s strange question but I think you get it.

I haven’t even put this gun in a holster yet. I literally bought it about an hour and a half before I posted. I imagine it will feel about the same as a Glock 19 out of the holster.

Gen 5 trigger has been reworked - it's got a nicer feel than older gen Glocks.

Lol. 

Yes. I know. 

Most notably the dome shaped striker safety plunger of Gen 1-4 guns has been replaced with an A-frame/ramped striker safety plunger. I think that has the most affect on the new feel. It gives you a very smoothed out, even, and steady trigger pull.

The smoothness makes it feel lighter, but it isn’t.

I’m happy! @Mrs.Zeke no likey!

Bro... that was my sig target 

My FFL in Sussex County had one as of last Monday. After fondling it I approved.

Are you crazy @Zeke. That G45 is very nice!  Super smooth trigger, almost felt light, but still controlled. Although my targets don’t look like @High Exposure targets. I think it’s safe to say that thing felt like an extension of my arm.  Adding it to the list

I hear this all the time

Looks like the Glock 45 MOS was announced at NRAM this year. Looks like it would be a solid red dot host. Definitely on my radar. Would probably pair with a Holosun 507c.
