Glock 45
A hybrid: the full grip of the 17 with the short slide of the 19. The idea is to get 17 rounds and a full grip without the extra length up front. In practice it works, and it has become a common choice among security organizations.
What's good about it
- 17 rounds with a full grip
- Short slide — easier to draw from a holster than the 17
- nDLC finish and ambidextrous slide stop as standard
What's less good
- The long grip is what prints when concealing, and that's the part they didn't shorten
- More expensive than the 19 with no dramatic difference in performance
- As thick as the rest of the wide-frame line
