Key Features – Factory Integrated Excellence
Aimpoint COA – The Rugged Duty Optic
The Aimpoint COA (Clip-On Acro) is the newest red dot sight from Aimpoint – the world leader in rugged electronic sights.
First, the COA uses the same battle-proven emitter as the Aimpoint Acro series. Therefore, it offers exceptional reliability and battery life.
Second, the optic features a 3.5 MOA red dot – ideal for fast target acquisition at close range and precision at distance.
Third, the COA is submersible to 25 meters and operates in temperatures from -45°C to +70°C. Consequently, it performs in any environment.
Fourth, the shake-awake technology instantly activates the optic when the pistol is moved. As a result, the battery lasts for years of regular use.
Fact: The Aimpoint COA is designed specifically for the GLOCK A-Cut system. Unlike the Glock 17 schreckschuss or glock 19 schreckschuss models which are training pistols, this is a live-fire duty optic combo.
A-Cut Slide – Direct Mount, No Plates
The A-Cut slide is GLOCK’s new factory optic mounting solution.
First, the slide is machined specifically for the Aimpoint COA footprint. Therefore, no adapter plate is required.
Second, the optic sits deeper in the slide than any other system. Consequently, the deck height is extremely low.
Third, the direct mount design eliminates potential failure points from adapter plates. As a result, zero retention is absolute.
Fourth, the standard-height sights co-witness through the optic. This means you can use your iron sights normally if the optic fails.
Fact: The A-Cut system is different from the MOS system. While MOS uses adapter plates, A-Cut is a dedicated footprint for the Aimpoint COA. This is the same philosophy used for glock 19 gen 5 MOS models – but with an even lower optic height.
GLOCK 45 – The Crossover Platform
The Glock 45 combines the compact slide of the Glock 19 with the full-size frame of the Glock 17.
First, the slide length is 102mm (4.02 inches) – the same as a glock 19 4 gen or glock 19 gen 5. Therefore, it is compact enough for concealed carry and faster to draw.
Second, the frame height is full-size – the same as a Glock 17. Consequently, it accommodates all hand sizes and provides a full, secure grip.
Third, the 17-round magazine capacity matches the Glock 17. As a result, you have more firepower than a standard compact pistol.
Fact: The Glock 45 is named for the 45th anniversary of GLOCK’s founding. It should not be confused with 45 cal glock models like the Glock 21 which are chambered in 45 acp. This pistol is 9mm Luger.
Gen5 Features – No Finger Grooves, nDLC Finish
The Glock 45 Gen5 includes all Gen5 improvements.
First, the finger grooves have been removed. Therefore, the grip fits a wider range of hand sizes comfortably.
Second, the nDLC (non-Diamond Like Carbon) finish is harder and more wear-resistant. Consequently, holster wear is minimal.
Third, the GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) provides improved accuracy over previous generations.
Fourth, the flared magazine well makes reloads faster and more positive.
Fact: The Gen5 platform is also available in glock 19 gen 5 and Glock 17 gen5 configurations. Owners of glock 19 4 gen pistols often upgrade to Gen5 for the improved trigger and grip.
9mm Luger – The Versatile Caliber
The 9mm Luger (9×19) is the most popular handgun caliber worldwide.
First, it offers the best balance of capacity, control, and cost. Therefore, it is ideal for duty, defense, and training.
Second, ammunition is widely available and affordable. Consequently, you can practice frequently without breaking the bank.
Third, modern 9mm defense loads perform as effectively as larger calibers like 45 acp . As a result, you get 17+1 rounds instead of 13+1 from a 45 cal glock like the Glock 21.
Fact: While 45 cal glock models offer excellent stopping power, the 9mm Glock 45 with Aimpoint COA offers higher capacity and faster follow-up shots.

Who Is This Pistol For?
For Duty / Law Enforcement
The Glock 45 was designed for law enforcement. The Aimpoint COA adds red dot capability without increasing holster complexity. The 17+1 capacity and 9mm Luger make it a capable duty pistol.
Pair it with a benelli m4 shotgun for a complete duty setup.
For Home Defense / Personal Defense Weapon
With 17+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a rugged Aimpoint optic, and GLOCK’s legendary reliability, this Glock gun is an excellent personal defense weapon.
Store it in quality glock merchandise like glock gun cases and holsters from our glockshop at sportwaffenshop.com.
For Shooters Upgrading from Older GLOCKs
If you own a glock 19 4 gen, a glock 19 schreckschuss (blank-firing training pistol), or a glock 17 schreckschuss, the Glock 45 Gen5 A-Cut Combo is a significant upgrade. You get the Gen5 improvements (no finger grooves, GMB barrel, nDLC finish) plus a factory-integrated Aimpoint optic.
For collectors, this pistol joins your collection alongside k98 mauser rifles, remington 700 bolt actions, ruger 10/22 carbines, and other glock pistolen models.
For Competition Shooters
The Glock 45 is legal in IPSC Production and Carry Optics divisions. The factory Aimpoint COA optic is division-legal and offers exceptional reliability.
For Concealed Carry (with license)
The compact slide of the Glock 45 makes it easier to conceal than a full-size Glock 17. The full-size grip provides control, and the Aimpoint COA improves target acquisition speed.
For Shooters Who Own Other Calibers
If you already own a 45 cal glock (Glock 21) in 45 acp, adding this 9mm Glock 45 gives you a higher-capacity, lower-recoil option for training and defense. Both share similar ergonomics, so muscle memory transfers between calibers.
GLOCK 45 vs. Other GLOCK Models
| Feature | GLOCK 45 (this model) | GLOCK 19 Gen5 | GLOCK 17 Gen5 | 45 Cal Glock (G21) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caliber | 9mm Luger | 9mm Luger | 9mm Luger | 45 acp |
| Slide Length | Compact (G19) | Compact (G19) | Full-size | Full-size |
| Frame Height | Full-size | Compact | Full-size | Full-size |
| Capacity | 17+1 | 15+1 | 17+1 | 13+1 |
| Optic | Aimpoint COA (factory) | Optional MOS | Optional MOS | Aftermarket only |
| Best For | Crossover duty/carry with optic | Concealed carry | Duty | Stopping power |
Verdict: The Glock 45 A-Cut Combo is the most advanced factory optics pistol GLOCK produces. Compared to a 45 cal glock in 45 acp, this 9mm offers higher capacity, lower recoil, and a factory-integrated optic.
Aimpoint COA – Detailed Features
The Aimpoint COA (Clip-On Acro) is purpose-built for the GLOCK A-Cut system.
Battery life: Over 50,000 hours (approximately 5 years) on a single CR2032 battery.
Adjustments: 1 MOA per click, with 100 MOA total adjustment range.
Window size: 22mm x 17mm – larger than the Acro P-2.
Weight: Approximately 45 grams – adds minimal mass to the slide.
Durability: Submersible to 25 meters, shockproof to 1,500G.
Fact: The COA uses the same emitter as the Aimpoint Acro, which has been fielded by US SOCOM and numerous law enforcement agencies.
Holster Compatibility
The Glock 45 A-Cut Combo fits most Glock 19 holsters due to the compact slide. However, the Aimpoint COA may require a dedicated optic-cut holster.
Many glock merchandise sellers at our glockshop offer holsters specifically molded for the Glock 45 with the Aimpoint COA. Contact us for recommendations.
Ammunition Recommendations
The Glock 45 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.
For defense: Premium hollow points such as Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P, Hornady Critical Duty 135gr, or Federal HST 124gr.
Note: While 45 acp ammunition is excellent for stopping power, 9mm defense loads from major manufacturers perform similarly in ballistic gel testing with the advantage of higher capacity.
