    Glock 45???

    Can someone explain to me why anybody would want the glock model 45 in 9mm? Full size grip / short barrel? Stupid to me. Apparently Marijuana is legal in Austria.

    Not my cup of tea, but variety is the spice of life.

      But it's a new Glock design, so it makes perfect sense to someone I guess.

        Can anyone explain why Glock hasn't fused a G19 grip with a G17 slide? AKA a G19L...

          Why would anyone want a 1911 Commander instead of a Govt?

          Why would anyone want a G17 instead of a G34? Why would anyone want a G34 instead of a 17L? Why would anyone want a 4” N-frame revolver instead of a 10.5” N frame revolver?

            It looks like the "Para Executive" of Glocks.

                It's Glock's version of a 1911 Commander sized (full size grip with compact sized barrel/slide assembly) pistol.

                Colt started making the Commander in 1950.
                So, it's not a new idea and it was born from a 1949 request by the US Military for a 9x19mm pistol that was lighter than the .45ACP M-1911A1 for use by general officer staff.

                  Full sized grip. More comfortable for some (me) and 17 round mags fit it well (cops). Shorter barrel means faster out of the holster, faster sight aquisition, won’t bump into doorways when clearing a house. Ie; great for cops or others who can legally carry outside waistband.

                  Remember to dial 1 before 911.

                  Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.

                      It's a 19 with a full size grip. Seems like good idea to me. Good job Glock!

                          I have a 19X and I love it. I love it so much I purchased another one. I don’t have big hands but it still feels soo good.

                            Beretta 92 Centurions also have the full size grip for capacity combined with the compact slide and barrel.

                              The answer is no!
