The Safariland Roundup

GLOCK 45 SPECIAL EDITION

I'm still not sure whether the G45 counts as a crossover (like the G19X) or if it's some other strange slide/grip/geometry mix-and-match. I do know it's rapidly approaching the top of the best-selling polymer striker-fired handguns out there. Also, don't ask me to explain the Glock naming convention. Once upon I actually understood it, but I've slept since then. 

That's what you'll find in this special edition of the Safariland Roundup!

Glock 45: the Best 17-19?

The G45 takes the 19X crossover idea, upguns it to Gen 5 (so to speak), and throws in some forward slide serrations. As Sean Curtis explains, the evolution of the G19X, it has a wide appeal among LE agencies.

Glock 45: A Fanboy Quandary

"This may not be the gun that many GLOCK fanboys wanted, but it’s a gun that will make fanboys of the uninitiated." 

Check out this review from Josh Waynor., and why he says he'd choose this over a standard G19 any day of the week. 

G45 MOS: the Red Dot Special

"the G45 MOS is a great gun. It shoots and handles great with its full size grip and can be used in either configuration. If you're on the fence about a red dot and may move in that direction in the future, this is a great, shootable option for you until you get to that point." ~ Joshua Gillem
