If you’re interested in carrying a compact pistol in a caliber heavier than 9mm or .40, there are two Glock 45 ACP handguns you should consider: The G30 and the G36. Which weapon is better for your needs depends on your preferences regarding ergonomics, weight, and capacity. Both weapons are accurate, highly reliable, and suitable for self-defense. 

Why 45 ACP?

Glock introduced its first .45-caliber handgun, the full-size G21, in 1990. The primary reason a gun owner selects a weapon in .45 caliber is stopping power — the ability of the bullet, when properly placed, to incapacitate an assailant.

The Glock 45 is not a .45-caliber variant of the popular Austrian pistol series despite the designation. Instead, the Glock 45 is a hybrid design, combining the benefits of both the Glock 19 and Glock 17 pistols into a versatile package. So, what exactly are the differences between the G45 vs G19, and how do they compare? 

The Glock 45 is one of the latest pistols by the world-famous Austrian gun manufacturer. Although this handgun possesses many similarities to other Glock pistols, it also features unique characteristics that make it challenging to find a compatible holster.
