Leaked: new Glock G45

[gtae07]

Glock knows what they are doing.

First the 42, then a 43 after the feeding frenzy was over. How many people bought both that would never have bought a 42 if they came out at the same time?

Funny you'd say that... we picked up a 42 for my wife because she doesn't shoot the 43 too well. Now the 43 is all mine


Honestly, though, the 45 has no appeal for me, and neither does the 19X. But I will admit I'm being drawn more to a G19.5 as time goes on. Maybe that's what I'll do with the GSSF coupon when I register for the local match...

Some of you are complaining of too many models? GTFOH, try living somewhere where you’re stuck buying some Gen 3 models new or 19x’s for $1,200+ on the used market. Enjoy your first world problems. /rant

When I read rants like these I never know if they are coming from another country or California.

They’re basically the same...

You need more cop friends.

I think more are waiting for the single stack G19 sized G43 ...

That would be the ticket, or even a G17 size or whatever they need to make it hold 10+1. I think it would be the perfect CCW gun. It would be legal everywhere, conceal really well, full grip, long sight radius, light weight.

We all like to pick this and that detail, color and whatnot...

But in truth, there is nothing this new G45 will do that a good Gen 3 G17/19 won't.... and the Gen 3 RSA is simpler and better IMO. Finger grooves are not a deal breaker for most anyone, and 95% of people are just fine without the removable backstrap.

Perhaps the Gen 5 is more accurate on average (?), but the Gen 3 guns are plenty accurate for their intended use.

On a tangent:

I never knew how infantile the commenters were on TFB until I checked out your link.

I see this desire all the time and still don't get it. A Glock is not THAT wide that it's difficult to conceal. With a good holster it will be invisible under a t-shirt. My G43 is too skinny to be comfortable but I tolerate that because it can fit in my front pocket as a BUG. If a shooter wants a G19 sized grip, get the TTI +3 extension for the G43. But a single column G19 or G17 seems like a giant step backwards.
