Full Glock 45 Review | Episode #65

[Music] [Music] all right so we've got the Glock 45 now to 45 acp it's a nine-millimeter model 45 most of you know that flocks numbers coincide to either manufacturing dates Patent order or release dates so this is the Glock 45 and this gun is really something the lock should have made a long long time ago what differs in this gun from say a Glock 17 Gen 5 so they're both generation 5 guns some of the changes for generation 5 are a flared magwell right we've got that slightly flared magwell to ease in inserting magazines we've got ambidextrous slide lock lever so you can actuate that slide lock with either hand got that ambi slide lock the Gen 5 firing group hmm feels nice it is crisp it is clean very similar to who notice this you guys have seen us use this in a lot of videos my 19x some differences though between this and the 19 X right out of the gate are no flare on the 19 X so we've got that flared magwell on the 45 no forward slide serrations on the 19 X Glock decided to finally start putting some forward serrations on these and something we've talked about guys that bash on Glock or they don't understand why doesn't Glock do this why doesn't clock do that you guys got to keep in mind that cost is a factor if you go to say a mira glow or Trijicon and you buy a good set of sights what do they cost you 75 a hundred bucks well that's gonna just add 75 or a hundred bucks to the cost of the gun if you go out and have serrations milled into the slide that has a cost associated with it so for years Glock was trying to it costs as well as keep it affordable when most people most people didn't want things like this average Joe couldn't care less right we've got that Gen 5 firing group very nice I like it a lot the main thing that I enjoy about these new generation fives is no finger group so first everybody wanted the finger groove now nobody wants the finger group that works perfect for my hand you've got a 19 size slide so the slide length on this gun is six point eight five inches is the slide length overall length so there including barrel and the little nub here overall length seven point four four inches so just over or just under rather seven and a half inches that slide is about six and three-quarter inches the width one and one point three four inches and that widest part here is going to be in the frame unless maybe they're going to the widest point of the slide locks a very good narrow pistol easy to hide against the body something that people have been using forever so I don't need to go through the gamut of what makes a Glock a Glock plenty of that informations out there but this gun itself I've been shooting this I probably got 15,000 rounds through the X you guys have seen us shoot it in a lot of videos that triggers a little more broke in it's a little smoother a little more buttery if you will this one got a little more bite to it so it's funny guys I look at this and they say huh I don't care about this the shorter I want a 17 slide with a 19 handle now you know 19 grip frame because that's easier to hide I want I don't want the diminished sight radius because that longer sight radius makes it easier to hit guys that little bit if that's causing you accuracy issues you need to go learn how to shoot okay look at the difference look at the difference that is not doing [ __ ] pardon my french to help you shoot better if you think it is you you're not using your gun right I've showed in videos this gun exhibiting great accuracy potential so part of the thing that is giving us that great accuracy potential help finally fell off drew is this match-grade barrel so they've got a match grade crown see that crown cut in there very much the same barrel as what we've got going on with the 19 X 19 X so in essence very subtle changes between these two guns the magwell being one of them of course the color and forward slide serrations I'll swap these sights out to the Amerigo operators that I've got on there 4.0 two inches for that barrel length now this capacity 17 round capacity with this gun so if you are going to carry it with stock they're basically stocks 17 mags and these new gen five mags have these Gen five mags have this slight radius there on the front of the mag plate but you can use your old mags for work just fine one thing that I I didn't have a problem with some people really didn't like this cut out on the Gen 5 7 tene I didn't feel an issue but there were people pinching themselves I don't know why they did it here but not here I know I know that why they didn't do it here because people were complaining and the purpose this is the nineteen I'm sorry this is the forty five and here is the 17 gens five that cut out was there so that you could strip the mag so you could strip the mag well the way I have done those two guns before right here so this is how been from boresight solutions does it on the side so you're grabbing here see that the difference so if you got a strip you're pinching here so a lot of folks did not like the cut out there in the 17 version of this they don't have it here excellent little pistol super pointable you're not going to be under gunned 17 rounds of 9 mil on board unless you've got a stick and then it's party time right let's see how this baby shoots all right so we've got this block 45 out here we haven't done a thing to it she's bones stop it's gonna run a few rounds at ten yards on a piece of steel we've got a five six inch head swing around there and then the C's own body will start out with the gin five mag see what that thing looks like feels a lot like my 19's well I know why because they're basically the same gun man it's crazy you can actually shoot stack block sites crazy help if I hit there we go yeah this up this flood 45 feels really good I'm really diggin once I started shooting no finger grooves again a few years ago it's a no-brainer to not have them it's crazy these clock stock sites allow me just to get hits like crazy I guess if you don't replace them you'll die yeah let's do a little tak load here do a little magazine action dump nice let's do that again there we go from the Neo Meg head got hung up I literally think that this 45 which is a 19 size slide with a 17 size grip it's got the Gen 5 trigger group forward serrations ambi slide lock no finger grooves flared magwell unlike the 19 X which I appreciate they didn't do this cutout [Music] that's interesting some of these magazines don't like to drop free I think it's just cuz the guns brand new [Music] hung up 19x meg didn't make it I dig this blaster it's a Glock it's gonna run I like the changes that they made to it it's probably gonna become my go-to gun once I swap the sights I've got a lot of miles on the 19 X and I've enjoyed the heck out of it so if you're not into the peanut butter and you want the black here you go Glock 45 and as you see stock sites do actually work if you don't believe the internet be well follow us tune in share these videos tell your family that you love them more importantly tell us you love us send us flowers what the hell looks like you don't even think about us my mom was right about [Music] [Music]
