Glock 45 Gen6 9MM

Glock 45 Gen6 9mm is a 17‑round crossover pistol that pairs a compact‑length slide with a full‑size frame, adding Gen6 ergonomics, RTF6 grip texture, a flat‑faced trigger, and an optics‑ready slide for duty or defensive use.

The Glock 45 Gen6 9mm blends full‑size handling with compact slide performance, using a G19‑length 4.02‑inch barrel and slide on a full‑size G17‑style frame with 17‑round magazine capacity. This crossover layout offers a full grip for control and recoil management while keeping the slide short enough for faster presentation, easier concealment, and smoother handling in and out of holsters. Chambered in 9x19 mm and using Glock’s Safe Action System, the G45 Gen6 delivers the familiar reliability and simplicity that have made Glock a standard for law enforcement, duty, and personal defense.

Gen6 updates give the G45 a re‑contoured frame with a palm swell, integrated thumb rest, and enlarged beavertail, encouraging a higher, more locked‑in firing grip while protecting the shooter’s hand from slide bite. The new RTF6 grip texture wraps around the grip, combining enhanced traction with comfort for high‑round‑count training or all‑day carry. Finger grooves are removed, and interchangeable backstraps allow you to tailor grip circumference and trigger reach to your hand, improving control across a wide range of shooters.

The G45 Gen6 features Glock’s updated Gen6 Optic Ready System, with a pre‑milled slide and included plates that allow direct mounting of popular red dot optics such as RMR‑footprint sights. Deeper front and rear slide serrations provide improved purchase for press checks and slide manipulations, even with wet hands or gloves. A standard accessory rail on the dust cover supports weapon‑mounted lights and lasers, making the G45 Gen6 easy to set up as a complete duty or home‑defense platform.

Internally, the Glock 45 Gen6 retains the Safe Action System with three passive safeties and introduces a flat‑faced trigger shoe tuned to a listed pull of about 26 N (approximately 5.8 lb). The flat trigger promotes consistent finger placement and a straight‑back press, enhancing controllability without sacrificing Glock’s duty‑grade trigger weight. Glock’s Marksman Barrel (GMB) with improved rifling contributes to better mechanical accuracy while maintaining the rugged reliability expected from a service pistol.

Dimensionally, the G45 Gen6 has an overall length of about 7.44 inches with a 4.02‑inch barrel and an overall width around 1.35 inches. Height with magazine is roughly 5.47 inches, providing a full‑size grip and generous sight radius of about 6.1–6.18 inches depending on sight type. Weight is approximately 20.28 oz without a magazine, 23.10 oz with an empty 17‑round magazine, and 30.51 oz with a loaded magazine, striking a balance between controllability and carry comfort. The pistol ships with three 17‑round magazines on most commercial packages, giving you ample capacity for duty, training, or defensive roles.
