GLOCK Pistol – Mod. 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS – 9mm Luger
Crossover Hunter | MOS Optics Ready | 17+1 Rounds | nDLC Finish | GLOCK 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS
Overview – The Ultimate Hunting Backup
The GLOCK 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS is a specialized variant of the popular crossover pistole, designed specifically for hunters and outdoorsmen. Combining the compact slide of the glock 19 with the full-size frame of the glock 17 gen5, this handgun offers the perfect balance of concealability and firepower for the field.
While a harrington and richardson revolver represents the old school of hunting backup, this GLOCK 45 Hunter MOS represents the modern evolution. For this reason, whether you need a personal defense weapon against wild boar, a reliable sidearm for your hunting kit, or a versatile pistole for all-terrain carry, the Glock 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS delivers.
Thanks to its MOS (Modular Optic System) slide, you can mount a red dot sight for fast target acquisition in low-light conditions. Consequently, when you pistole kaufen this GLOCK from sportwaffenshop.com, you receive a purpose-built hunter’s companion.
Fact: The GLOCK 45 sits in a unique position within the GLOCK lineup. It is larger than a glock 43x or glock glock 26 (often written as glock 26) for carry, yet more compact than a glock 17 gen5 for holster comfort. Unlike the 45 cal glock (Glock 21) which fires 45 acp, this Hunter MOS fires 9mm Luger for higher capacity and faster follow-up shots.

Key Features – Built for the Hunt
The Crossover Advantage – Compact Slide, Full-Size Grip
The GLOCK 45 combines the best of both worlds.
First, the slide is the same length as the glock 19 (102mm). Therefore, it is compact enough to avoid snagging on hunting vests, tree stands, or holsters.
Second, the frame is the same height as the glock 17 gen5 (full-size grip). Consequently, it provides a full, secure grip even with gloved hands in cold weather.
Third, the 17-round magazine capacity matches the full-size glock 17 gen5. As a result, you have more firepower than a glock 43x (10 rounds) or a glock glock 26 (10 rounds).
Fact: The GLOCK 45 is often compared to the glock 19x. While the glock 19x features a Coyote finish and a lanyard loop, the Glock 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS comes in black with MOS optics readiness – making it the more modern choice for hunters who use red dots.
MOS (Modular Optic System) – Optics Ready for Low Light
Hunters often find themselves in low-light conditions – dawn, dusk, or dense forest.
First, the MOS system includes multiple adapter plates. Therefore, you can mount most popular red dot sights – Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507C, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and others.
Second, the optics-ready slide allows for co-witness with standard-height sights. Consequently, you have backup aiming capability if your optic fails in the field.
Third, the MOS system is factory-engineered. As a result, the optic sits low and maintains zero under recoil – even after hundreds of rounds.
nDLC Finish – Extreme Durability for the Field
Hunting environments can be harsh – rain, mud, snow, and sweat.
First, the nDLC (non-Diamond Like Carbon) finish is harder and more wear-resistant than traditional finishes. Therefore, holster wear is minimal even after years of use.
Second, the finish is self-lubricating to a degree. Consequently, the pistole functions reliably even with minimal cleaning between hunting trips.
Third, the nDLC finish is corrosion-resistant. As a result, the GLOCK 45 performs in wet or humid conditions – from the alpine forests to the coastal marshes.
GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) – Accuracy for Ethical Shots
The GLOCK Marksman Barrel is standard on Gen5 pistols.
First, the barrel features enhanced rifling for improved accuracy. Therefore, it delivers tighter groups – essential for precise finishing shots on wounded game.
Second, the feed ramp is polished from the factory. Consequently, feeding reliability with all ammunition types is excellent – including hollow points for defense against predators.
Third, the barrel is cold hammer-forged – GLOCK’s signature manufacturing process for durability and consistency.

| MOS | Yes | Optional | No | Optional | No (43x MOS exists) | Optional | No |
| Best For | Hunting backup, duty | Duty, sport | Crossover (military style) | Concealed carry | Deep concealment | Deep concealment | Stopping power |
Verdict: The GLOCK 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS is the most versatile option for hunters. It offers higher capacity than glock 43x or glock glock 26 (often written as glock 26), is more compact than a glock 17 gen5, and features MOS optics readiness – unlike the glock 19x. While a 45 cal glock offers 45 acp power, the 9mm Hunter MOS offers 17+1 rounds and faster follow-up shots for predator defense.

Who Is This Pistol For?
For Hunters – Primary Backup Gun
If you hunt with a remington 700 bolt action rifle, a sauer 505, or a 70 winchester, you need a reliable backup handgun. The GLOCK 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS offers:
-
17 rounds of 9mm for protection against wild boar or predators
-
MOS optics for fast targeting in low light
-
nDLC finish for weather resistance
-
Compact slide to avoid snagging on gear
Pair it with a benelli m4 shotgun for bird hunting or a tikka t1x rimfire for small game – the GLOCK 45 covers all your defensive needs.
For Shooters Upgrading from Smaller GLOCKs
If you currently carry a glock 43x or a glock glock 26 (often written as glock 26) for concealed carry, the GLOCK 45 offers a significant upgrade in capacity and shootability.
The larger grip provides better control. The 17+1 capacity doubles your firepower. The MOS system allows for a red dot.
However, for deep concealment in warm weather, keep your glock 43x or glock 26. For hunting, cold weather carry, or home defense, the GLOCK 45 is superior.
For Collectors
The GLOCK 45 is a historically significant model – the crossover pistol that GLOCK developed for law enforcement.
Add it to your collection alongside a glock 17 gen5, a glock 19x, a 45 cal glock (G21), and a harrington and richardson revolver for a complete firearms history collection.
Unlike a harrington and richardson top-break revolver, this GLOCK 45 offers modern semi-auto reliability and 17-round capacity.
For Home Defense / Personal Defense Weapon
With 17+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a Picatinny rail for lights, and GLOCK’s legendary reliability, the GLOCK 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS is an excellent personal defense weapon.
Store it in glock gun cases alongside your benelli m4 shotgun and remington 700 rifle – a complete defense and hunting arsenal.
For Shooters Who Own Multiple GLOCKs
If your safe already contains a glock 19x, a glock 17 gen5, a glock 43x, and a glock 26, the GLOCK 45 fills the crossover niche.
It uses the same magazines as your glock 17 gen5 and glock 19x (17-rounders). It shares holsters with the glock 19. It is the missing link in your GLOCK collection.
Fact: The glock 45 accepts all glock 17 gen5 magazines. Therefore, if you already own a glock 17 gen5 or glock 19x, you have a ready supply of spares.
Hunting Application – Why 9mm for Backup?
Some hunters ask: why not a 45 cal glock in 45 acp?
| Consideration | 9mm (GLOCK 45) | .45 ACP (45 Cal Glock) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 17+1 rounds | 13+1 rounds |
| Recoil | Low, faster follow-up shots | Higher, slower follow-up |
| Weight | 630g | 740g |
| Wall penetration | Lower (safer near roads/houses) | Higher |
| Ammo commonality | Matches many hunting pistols | Less common |
Verdict: For hunting backup against wild boar or coyotes, 9mm with premium hollow points is more than adequate. The higher capacity and faster recoil recovery make the GLOCK 45 the better choice for multiple threats.
Ammunition Recommendations for Hunters
The GLOCK 45 Gen5 Hunter MOS performs reliably with all SAAMI-spec 9mm ammunition.
For practice / plinking: 9×19 FMJ from S&B, Geco, Magtech, or Fiocchi.
For predator defense (coyotes, feral dogs): 124gr +P hollow points (Speer Gold Dot, Federal HST).
For wild boar / larger threats: 147gr +P or 124gr +P bonded ammunition (Hornady Critical Duty, Winchester Ranger).
For small game / dispatching wounded animals: Standard 115gr or 124gr FMJ – accurate and adequate for finishing shots.
Note: Always check local hunting regulations regarding caliber restrictions for finishing shots.
Holster & Carry Options for Hunters
The GLOCK 45 fits most glock 19 holsters due to the compact slide.
Chest holsters: Ideal for hunters who wear a backpack or sit in a tree stand. Keeps the pistol accessible while wearing outerwear.
Belt holsters: OWB (outside waistband) with retention strap for active movement through brush.
Chest pack / fanny pack: For hunters who prefer concealed backup.
