GLOCK Pistol – Mod. 45 Gen6 OR – 9mm Luger

Sixth Generation | Optics Ready | Crossover Pistol | 17+1 Rounds | GLOCK 45 Gen6 OR

Overview – The Perfect Crossover, Now Sixth Generation

The GLOCK 45 Gen6 OR represents the sixth generation of GLOCK’s popular crossover pistol. Developed by Glock Austria, the Glock 45 combines the compact slide of the Glock 19 with the full-size frame of the Glock 17. This unique configuration offers the concealability of a compact pistol alongside the capacity and grip comfort of a full-size duty weapon. On top of that, the Gen6 brings factory Optics Ready (OR) capability as standard, along with further ergonomic refinements.

For this reason, whether you need a personal defense weapon for duty use, a reliable handgun for home protection, or a versatile pistol for the range, the Glock 45 Gen6 OR delivers proven performance in a modern, optics-ready crossover package.

Thanks to its Optics Ready slide, you can mount red dot sights without aftermarket milling. Consequently, when you pistole kaufen this Glock 45 Gen6 from sportwaffenshop.com, you receive a factory-refined handgun that bridges the gap between compact and full-size.

Fact: The Glock 45 was named to commemorate GLOCK’s 45th anniversary. It should not be confused with the 45 cal glock (Glock 21), which fires .45 ACP. This pistol is chambered in 9mm Luger.

Technical Specifications

Key Features – Gen6 Innovations

Sixth Generation – What’s New

The Gen6 platform builds on the success of the glock 45 with several key improvements.

To begin with, the Optics Ready (OR) slide is now standard. Therefore, you can mount red dot sights directly using the MOS system.

In addition, the grip texture has been further refined. It provides better purchase without being abrasive to the skin.

Another improvement involves the trigger. It now features a smoother pull with an improved reset. Consequently, accuracy potential is increased.

Furthermore, the slide stop lever is now ambidextrous as standard equipment. This is a welcome change for left-handed shooters.

Fact: The GLOCK 45 sits in a unique position within the GLOCK lineup. It is larger than a glock 43x or glock 26 for carry, yet more compact than a glock 17 gen5 for holster comfort. Unlike the glock 19x which features a Coyote finish and lanyard loop, the Glock 45 comes in black with MOS optics readiness.

Crossover Design – Compact Slide, Full-Size Grip

The Glock 45 offers the best of both worlds.

First, the slide is the same length as the glock 19 (102mm / 4.02 inches). Therefore, it is compact enough to avoid snagging on clothing 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.

Third, the 17-round magazine capacity matches the full-size glock 17 gen5. As a result, you have more firepower than a standard compact pistol like the glock 19 (15+1) or glock 43x (10+1).

Fact: The Glock 45 is often compared to the glock 19x. While the glock 19x features a Coyote finish and a lanyard loop (carryovers from the US Army trial), the Glock 45 Gen6 OR comes in black with standard Gen6 features. For shooters who prefer a traditional black finish, this is the more modern choice.

Optics Ready (OR) – MOS System

The Gen6 OR features GLOCK’s Modular Optic System (MOS).

First, the MOS system includes multiple adapter plates. Therefore, you can mount most popular red dot footprints – Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407C/507C, Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, and others.

For another benefit, the optics-ready slide allows for co-witness with standard-height sights. Consequently, you have backup aiming capability if your optic fails.

Moreover, the MOS system is factory-engineered. As a result, the optic sits properly and maintains zero under recoil. This is a significant advantage over aftermarket slide milling.

GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB)

The GLOCK Marksman Barrel is standard on Gen5 and Gen6 pistols.

First, the barrel features enhanced rifling for improved accuracy. Therefore, it delivers tighter groups than previous generations.

In addition, the feed ramp is polished from the factory. Consequently, feeding reliability with all ammunition types is excellent.

Finally, the barrel is cold hammer-forged. This is GLOCK’s signature manufacturing process, known for producing durable and accurate barrels.

nDLC Finish – Extreme Durability

The Gen6 features GLOCK’s nDLC (non-Diamond Like Carbon) finish.

To start, it is harder and more wear-resistant than traditional finishes. Therefore, holster wear is minimal even after years of use.

Additionally, the finish is self-lubricating to a degree. Consequently, the pistol functions reliably even with minimal lubrication.

Above all, the nDLC finish is corrosion-resistant. As a result, the Glock 45 performs in harsh environments – from humid summers to freezing winters.

No Finger Grooves – Universal Fit

The Gen6 continues the finger-groove-free design introduced with Gen5.

First, the finger grooves have been removed. Therefore, the grip fits a wider range of hand sizes comfortably.

For another advantage, the grip features the flared magazine well. Consequently, reloads are faster and more positive.

Moreover, the reversible magazine catch accommodates left-handed shooters. This small detail makes a big difference for left-handed users.

What’s Included

GLOCK 45 Gen6 OR vs. Other GLOCK Models

Verdict: The Glock 45 Gen6 OR is the ideal crossover pistol. It offers higher capacity than the glock 19 (17+1 vs 15+1) while maintaining the same compact slide length. On the other hand, it is more concealable than the glock 17 due to the shorter slide, yet it provides the same full-size grip and capacity. Compared to the glock 19x, the Glock 45 Gen6 OR offers factory MOS optics readiness and a black finish. Meanwhile, compared to the glock 43x or glock 26, it offers significantly higher capacity and a full-size grip for better control.

Who Is This Pistol For?

For Duty / Law Enforcement

The Glock 45 was designed with law enforcement input. The compact slide reduces holster interference when seated in a vehicle. At the same time, the full-size grip provides excellent control and the 17+1 capacity offers adequate firepower. Additionally, the Gen6 OR adds optics capability for modern policing.

Pair it with a benelli m4 shotgun for a complete duty setup.

For Concealed Carry (with license)

While the Glock 45 is larger than a glock 43x or glock 26, many shooters can conceal it with the right holster and clothing. The compact slide (same as glock 19) is the part that prints, not the grip. For this reason, the Glock 45 conceals as well as a glock 19 but offers two more rounds and a full-size grip.

For deep concealment in warm weather, keep your glock 43x or glock 26. For cold weather carry or when concealment is less critical, the Glock 45 is the superior choice.

For Home Defense / Personal Defense Weapon

With 17+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a Picatinny rail for lights or lasers, and GLOCK’s legendary reliability, the Glock 45 Gen6 OR is an excellent personal defense weapon.

Store it alongside your remington 700 rifle or benelli m4 shotgun for a complete home defense arsenal.

For Shooters Upgrading from Smaller GLOCKs

If you currently carry a glock 43x, glock 26, or glock 19, the Glock 45 offers a different shooting experience. The full-size grip provides better control and recoil management. Furthermore, the 17+1 capacity matches full-size duty pistols. The MOS system also allows for a red dot.

For shooters who own a glock 19, the Glock 45 uses the same magazines (17-rounders work in both). Therefore, your existing magazine collection remains fully compatible.

For Hunters as Backup

Carry the Glock 45 Gen6 OR as a backup to your remington 700 bolt action rifle or sauer 505. The 9mm Luger is adequate for finishing shots on wounded game. Moreover, the 17-round capacity provides peace of mind in the field.

Unlike a harrington and richardson revolver which holds only 6 rounds, the Glock 45 offers 17+1 rounds and much faster reloads. Additionally, the MOS optic allows for fast target acquisition in low-light conditions at dawn or dusk.

For Collectors

The Glock 45 is a historically significant model – the crossover pistol that GLOCK developed for law enforcement, named for the company’s 45th anniversary. The Gen6 represents the latest evolution of this crossover platform.

Add it to your collection alongside a glock 17 gen5, a glock 19x, a glock 43x, a glock 26, and a 45 cal glock (Glock 21) for a complete GLOCK collection.

The Glock 45 Legacy – The Crossover That Changed Everything

The Glock 45 was introduced in 2018 as a response to law enforcement requests. Officers wanted a pistol with the compact slide of the Glock 19 combined with the full-size frame of the Glock 17. It quickly became popular with officers who found the Glock 17 too large for vehicle carry but wanted more capacity than the Glock 19.

Fact: The Glock 45 was named to celebrate GLOCK’s 45th anniversary. It is not chambered in .45 ACP – that is the 45 cal glock (Glock 21). The Glock 45 is a 9mm pistol.

The Gen6 OR adds factory optics mounting to this crossover platform. Now you can add a red dot sight without aftermarket slide milling.

For shooters who own a glock 19 for everyday carry, the glock 45 serves as a larger-capacity companion for duty use or cold weather carry. When more clothing allows for easier concealment, the Glock 45 comes out of the safe.

Ammunition Recommendations

The Glock 45 Gen6 OR performs reliably with all SAAMI-spec 9mm ammunition.

For practice: 9×19 FMJ from S&B, Geco, Magtech, Fiocchi, or Federal. The GMB barrel handles all standard pressure loads without issue.

For defense: Premium hollow points such as Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P, Hornady Critical Duty 135gr, or Federal HST 124gr. These loads provide optimal expansion and penetration.

For competition: 124gr or 147gr FMJ with a consistent power factor. Many competitors prefer heavier bullets for softer recoil.

For training: Consider a .22lr conversion kit or a Ruger Mark IV rimfire pistol for affordable practice alongside your Glock 45.

Holster Compatibility

The Glock 45 Gen6 OR fits most Glock 19 holsters due to the compact slide. However, the full-size grip may extend beyond some holsters designed specifically for the Glock 19. For best fit, use holsters marked for Glock 19/23/45 or Glock 45.

Inside-the-waistband (IWB): For concealed carry – many options are available specifically for the Glock 45.

Outside-the-waistband (OWB): For range use or open carry. This is the simplest holster type for most users.

Duty holsters: For law enforcement or security work. These typically include retention mechanisms.

Chest holsters: For hunters or outdoor activities. This option keeps the pistol accessible while wearing a backpack.
