I may be the only one that was hoping this was a .45.....I'm interested since I haven't purchased a Gen-5 19 or 19x, both of which I am digging for a carry gun. Curious to see one and shoot it.
Are we sure this is coming to the US?
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
Glock just officially announced the G45
Available on October 5th
Yep, just got the email:
“SMYRNA, Ga. – Sep 24, 2018 Today, GLOCK, Inc. announced a new addition to the 9X19 family of pistols featuring the latest in design and engineering seen in the 5th Generation of GLOCK pistols. The GLOCK 45 combines the fast handling of the GLOCK 19 compact-sized slide with the full-size frame as a compact Crossover.
Taking on the Crossover design of the GLOCK 19X and the superior GLOCK hard-surface finish in non-reflective black, the G45 makes the ultimate service pistol.
“After the release of the G19X, we saw a strong interest from the law enforcement community for the design in a black model,” said GLOCK, Inc. VP Josh Dorsey. “The G45 is the result of a design that meets the demanding level of reliability with distinctive Gen5 design enhancements to improve durability, accuracy and performance to those who go into harm’s way where fractions of a second matter.”
Engineered with the GLOCK perfection promise, the G45 features the Safe Action System® and is backed by torture-testing that has made GLOCK a name synonymous with innovation and reliability.
The G45 incorporates elements of the 5th Generation of GLOCK pistols including a smoother trigger pull, an enhanced frame texture for sure handling, a reversible magazine catch, ambidextrous slide stop lever, the Modular Backstrap System (MBS) for individual adjustability and the incredibly accurate, match-grade GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB). The G45 also features front serrations which are precision-milled forward of the ejection port on both sides.
The GLOCK Compact Crossover Pistol Model G45 will make its debut at The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference and will be available on dealer shelves beginning October 5th.
For more information about the new Compact Crossover G45, contact GLOCK, Inc. or go to us.glock.com/products/G45.”

I think my project for 2019 will be an RDS equipped pistol. The G45 might be just the gun to be the base. I’m patiently waiting for @GJM to pick up a couple and let us know if they have the consistently good triggers of the 19X.
