GLOCK Pistol – Mod. 49 Gen6 OR – 9mm Luger

Sixth Generation | Optics Ready | Full-Size Concealed Carry | 15+1 Rounds | GLOCK 49 Gen6 OR

Overview – The Inverted Crossover

The GLOCK 49 Gen6 OR is the latest evolution in GLOCK’s crossover philosophy, but with a twist. While the Glock 45 pairs a compact slide with a full-size frame, the Glock 49 does the opposite – it combines the full-size slide of the Glock 17 with the compact frame of the Glock 19. Developed by Glock Austria, this “inverted crossover” offers the sight radius and velocity of a duty pistol with the concealability of a compact frame.

For this reason, whether you need a personal defense weapon for concealed carry, a reliable handgun for home protection, or a versatile pistol for the range, the Glock 49 Gen6 OR delivers the accuracy of a full-size slide in a more concealable package.

Thanks to its Optics Ready slide, you can mount red dot sights without aftermarket milling. Consequently, when you pistole kaufen this Glock 49 Gen6 from sportwaffenshop.com, you receive a factory-refined handgun that offers the best of both worlds – full-size performance with compact concealability.

Fact: The GLOCK 49 fills a unique niche in the GLOCK lineup. It is perfect for shooters who want the longer sight radius and increased velocity of a glock 17 but prefer the shorter grip of a glock 19 for easier concealment.

Technical Specifications

Key Features – Gen6 Innovations

Sixth Generation – What’s New

The Gen6 platform builds on the success of the GLOCK lineup 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 49 is a relatively new addition to the GLOCK family. It was developed for shooters who find the glock 17 grip too long for comfortable concealment but still want the performance benefits of the longer slide.

Inverted Crossover – Full-Size Slide, Compact Frame

The Glock 49 offers a unique configuration.

First, the slide is the same length as the glock 17 gen5 (114mm / 4.49 inches). Therefore, you get the longer sight radius (approximately 175mm) and higher velocity of a full-size duty pistol.

Second, the frame is the same height as the glock 19 (compact grip). Consequently, it conceals more easily than a glock 17 because the grip is the part that prints.

Third, the 15-round magazine capacity matches the glock 19. As a result, you have a balance of firepower and concealability.

Fact: The Glock 49 is often described as the “inverted” Glock 45. While the Glock 45 (compact slide, full-size frame) is popular for duty use, the Glock 49 (full-size slide, compact frame) is better suited for concealed carry by shooters who prioritize sight radius.

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 49 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 49 Gen6 OR vs. Other GLOCK Models

Verdict: The Glock 49 Gen6 OR is the ideal choice for shooters who want the accuracy and velocity of a glock 17 but prefer the concealability of a glock 19. It offers the longest sight radius in a compact-frame package. Compared to the glock 45, it trades two rounds of capacity for a longer sight radius and a more concealable grip. For concealed carry where grip printing is the primary concern, the Glock 49 is superior to the glock 17 and offers better accuracy than the glock 19.

Who Is This Pistol For?

For Concealed Carry (with license)

The Glock 49 is specifically designed for concealed carry. The compact grip (same as glock 19) is the part that prints, not the slide. Therefore, it conceals as well as a glock 19 but offers the longer sight radius and higher velocity of a glock 17.

For shooters who find the glock 17 grip too long for comfortable concealment, the Glock 49 is the perfect solution. You get the slide you want with the grip you need.

For Competition / Range Use

The longer sight radius of the Glock 49 makes it more accurate than the glock 19 at longer distances. The 15+1 capacity is sufficient for most competition divisions. The MOS system allows for a red dot optic.

Pair it with a benelli m4 shotgun for home defense or a remington 700 for hunting – the Glock 49 covers your concealed carry needs.

For Home Defense / Personal Defense Weapon

With 15+1 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a Picatinny rail for lights or lasers, and GLOCK’s legendary reliability, the Glock 49 Gen6 OR is an excellent personal defense weapon. The longer barrel also provides slightly higher velocity for defensive ammunition.

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

For Shooters Upgrading from Glock 19 or Glock 43x

If you currently carry a glock 19, the Glock 49 offers the same concealability with a longer sight radius and slightly more weight forward for reduced muzzle flip. If you currently carry a glock 43x, the Glock 49 offers significantly higher capacity (15+1 vs 10+1) and a longer sight radius for better accuracy.

For shooters who own a glock 19, the Glock 49 uses the same magazines (15-rounders work in both). Therefore, your existing magazine collection remains fully compatible.

For Hunters as Backup

Carry the Glock 49 Gen6 OR as a backup to your remington 700 bolt action rifle or sauer 505. The longer barrel provides higher velocity for finishing shots. Moreover, the compact grip is less likely to snag on hunting gear.

Unlike a harrington and richardson revolver which holds only 6 rounds, the Glock 49 offers 15+1 rounds and much faster reloads. The longer sight radius of the full-size slide also improves accuracy at distance.

For Collectors

The Glock 49 is a relatively new and unique addition to the GLOCK lineup. As the “inverted crossover,” it represents an interesting evolution in GLOCK’s design philosophy.

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

The Glock 49 Philosophy – Why Inverted Crossover Makes Sense

The Glock 49 addresses a specific need: shooters who want the performance benefits of a full-size slide but find the full-size grip difficult to conceal.

Fact: When concealing a pistol, the grip is the part that typically prints against clothing. The slide, by contrast, is less noticeable because it sits lower in the waistband. Therefore, a longer slide does not significantly impact concealability, while a longer grip does.

The Glock 49 leverages this reality. It gives you the longer sight radius and increased velocity of a glock 17 (full-size slide) while keeping the compact grip of a glock 19 (which conceals easily). This is the opposite of the Glock 45, which prioritizes grip comfort and capacity over sight radius.

For shooters who prioritize accuracy and velocity but need concealability, the Glock 49 is the answer.

Ammunition Recommendations

The Glock 49 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. The longer barrel provides optimal velocity for expansion.

For competition: 124gr or 147gr FMJ with a consistent power factor. The longer sight radius rewards precision ammunition.

For training: Consider a .22lr conversion kit or a Ruger Mark IV rimfire pistol for affordable practice alongside your Glock 49.

Holster Compatibility

The Glock 49 Gen6 OR fits most Glock 17 holsters due to the full-size slide. However, the compact grip may leave extra space at the bottom of holsters designed specifically for the Glock 17. For best fit, use holsters marked for Glock 19/23/45 or open-muzzle designs.

Inside-the-waistband (IWB): For concealed carry – many options are available for the full-size slide with compact grip.

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.
