New Glock Model G45

the new Glock g45 let's check it out [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Locke recently introduced their generation 5 of their pistol line starting out with the g17 the G 19 the 26 and the model 34 all these in 9 millimeter and then they introduced the G 19 X which honestly guys taking that out to the range it's one of my favorite guns to shoot but the G 19 X was designed specifically for military use it has the model 19 slide size which is the compact and then with the 17 grip this is great for being able to travel in vehicles it fits to the gear well it actually balances totally different than either the 17 to the 19 in fact they did a whole review on that and why I like the G 19 X as far as in this configuration but when the G 19 X was only offered in the fde color law enforcement really wanted something that was black and thus we have the G 45 nine-millimeter pistol this is the Gen 5 very similar to the G 19 X but again in black and of course one thing that you'll notice right away are the front serrations on the slide which is big time new for Glock this video is brought to you in part by the sportsman Scott and if you use sooc on the coupon code you get $20 off every hundred dollar purchase the Glock G 45 you know guys I didn't even know that this pistol existed until about two weeks ago and thankfully Glock got in touch with me asked if I would be willing to take a look at this handgun I think a lot of it had to do with how much I love the G 19 X which these are very similar but yet there are some differences this again is a call from law enforcement that they wanted this the G 19 X but they wanted it in black and so here we go let's make sure the gun is unloaded we're going to drop the magazine and check the chamber and the gun is empty now many of you are probably like me and you're wondering G 45 when I was first told that it was named the G 45 I thought they've got another 45 you know I just wondered what they were going to introduce this is their 45th and that's the way that glog names their pistols by the patent number that's one of the reasons why the model 17 is named that it was the 17th patent the model 19 which is smaller seems like it should be the 15th but it was the next patent but that is the reason why it's called the G 45 and yet it's not millimeter now before we get into the differences between the G 45 and the G 19x there's some lot of similarities and one of them is a G 19 slide with a 4-inch barrel it is the Marchman barrel which is supposed to improve accuracy does have your night sights three dot it does have the course safe action trigger and it has a 17 round magazine frame it does have the ambidextrous slide release of course you can switch the mag release over to the other side and it is extended the grip the texturing is a little bit more aggressive no finger grooves on both and one big thing that they did change is no cutout right here on like the standard June 5 model here I have a 1910 5 and you can see that cut out and Glock got a lot of complaints because people were possibly being able to you know pinch their hand with this grip and so this just did away with it so you don't have to worry about having that pinch which I like and I like the new finger groups and those are pretty much the similarities with the G 19x they do 17 round magazine it is the orange follower and the Gen 5 baseplate and then you get an additional two more 17 round magazines one of the differences with the G 19 X is we were getting 2 19 round magazines with this extended base plate I guess they decided with law enforcement just to stick with the standard 17 round mags now one big difference between the G 19 eggs and the G 45 of course is the color we've got the black all black which law enforcement really wants the black but there are also a lot of civilian potential buyers that wanted black as well and so this kind of answers that more than the desert or the fde color another thing is is the front cocking serrations which are factory in a first for Glock as far as I know but it's the same design pattern as the ones on the back and of course great for fresh checks things like that typically I am NOT a big fan necessarily I mean I could take it or leave it but really on the Glock because it is a fairly slick finish the in dlc coating which is an improved coating for the june 5 model and it's the same on the g 19 x this is not a seracote it's an actual coding that impregnates the metal very durable but it can be a little slick and so this gives you a little more to grip hold of to do press checks now when it comes down to the end of the grip obviously there's no lanyard loop or plug in the g 45 now you can see here there is a lip on the g 19 X that is absent on the G 45 and also there is a flared magwell which is standard on your Gen 5 models which is absent on the G 19 X so that's gonna allow for a little better insertion of your magazine because of the well and then of course without the cut out and one of the problems with the G 19 X with this lip is that the magazine's had to be like the standard original base plates of the gin for Gen 3 in previous models with the new gen 5 base plate because it did come out it was a problem so you'd have to switch these out or use the older style magazines for the G 19 X so that's one of the improvements that they've made over the G 45 this will take all your standard magazines but it will also take all your standards G 19 X and here even the 19 rounder now one of the things on the G 19 X and the G 45 is that they've matched the bevel of the front of the slide with the frame on the chin 5 G 19 there's a little bit of a gap a little bit of a lip protrusion and a lot of people were really complaining about that here it's met very well just very well finished and while a lot of people say that Glock doesn't listen they do listen now a lot of guys are going to be disappointed because they wanted a 17 length or 5 H barreled slide with the comp frame of the g19 which lends itself for concealed carry a little better but this particular handgun was designed for law enforcement riding in a vehicle all the time getting in and out it makes it nicer to have a little bit of a shorter slide and yet a little bit more round capacity and so that's the reason you know whether they're coming out with a new what they call their crossover model that would be like the 17 slide and the 19 frame we'll see now the G 45 does have night sights they are metal one of the big things about Glock is that low bore axis and of course it's just Glock so just shoots very well one of the big things though about this handgun designs the way it shoots it's just exceptional I mean it seems to be able to track better there's less muzzle flip because there's less mass here there's more to grip hold up down here at the bottom and so honestly I enjoy shooting this Glock over all my other Glocks and so to me that is a big plus whether you like this design or not you know that's up to you now the Gen 5 trigger has been improved somewhat over the gin three and four the gun is checked safety checked we have just a little bit of take-up right there and then slow but then a Kris break on end so it's very close to the standard Glock trigger no doubt but still it is an improvement reset right there then back on it let's check the trigger pull weight with our Lyman trigger gauge from Brownells five pounds 4.1 ounces four pounds 11 ounces five pounds fourteen point nine ounces one thing Fiocchi for sponsoring the nine-millimeter ammo we're shooting the 115 grain Full Metal Jacket good clean burning stuff made right here in the USA now we take it out to the range and kind of knew what to expect having already reviewed the G 19 X again guys the G 19 X is my favorite shooting block and really this is no different there's something about that longer frame that allows your hand to really leverage and go against the the lighter mass of the 19 size slide it's just something about it that helps manage the recoil even more there's less muzzle flip just seems to be dead on the sights of course you know are actually the night sights they're not the polymer frame sights which make it a no-brainer for law enforcement this gun was developed for law enforcement but obviously it's going to be available to everyone it's one of the big things about Glock it's been one of the favorites with law enforcement for a long time and because this is really designed toward law enforcement I can see why they really chose the features they did of course the front cocking serrations I mean for me the only time I ever use those if I'm gonna do a little press check and it does help because on the standard Glock it is fairly slick up front and so this really does give you a Sun advantage to be able to just to kind of pop that back but you know it's got the standard Glock serrations no finger grooves is definitely my preference don't like to be locked into a certain group just because the way the grip is set so overall the shooting experience was excellent I love the way these guns shoot in this design now we're going to disassemble the g45 check the chamber it is unloaded pull the trigger pull back on your slide about an eighth of an inch drop your takedown levers and then pull it off recoil spring this is improved it is a double captive recoil spring it is a polymer inside but then of course you've got steel encapsulated then we have our Glock barrel and this is the marksman barrel it is four inches and then of course we have our slide and you know standard Glock quality which is good I mean they do a great job and then of course with the ambidextrous slide release there's some differences here with this and you know it just it's just got a standard glock interior but very well proven one thing I do want to mention is the chin fob has two pins other than the three pins of the gen 3 and Gen 4 and that's all you need to do to field-strip to reassemble drop scenes barrel recoil spring guide rod we're gonna bring our slide back over the frame and we're good to go does come with the standard block box and then of course you get extra bag straps and that's one of the things that's pretty cool about this is that you get this small which is no back strap or added back strap and then you get your medium and large without the beaver tail and then you get a course or two beaver tails and they just fit right in here so there are actually five different options for your back strap just remove this pin place it in it's real simple to do I don't even need to show and then the pin is actually right here on this little mount so really cool one of the things I think the Glock is gonna have to do though is increase their box size because they're really filling it up it does come also with a magazine loader and all the other stuff you know your lock bore brush and your manual things like that of course it is in the standard black which the g19 had the desert tan or cody color which i think is really cool so guys well the G 45 is nothing really earth-shattering considering they've already released the G 19 X and with the gym 5 there are some pretty cool differences here and enough for them to feel that they needed to release a whole new model and I love that you know it makes them it's not such an albatross you know just to do some small changes yes there are a lot of people that want to see completely different guns well there's a ton of them out there and Glock has been proven for a long time you know I like that they're sticking with what they do best and that is this design we did a full review on taking a gin three gin 4 inch in five breaking them down showing them all the differences if you can stomach it or if you're interested you know I have the link right here but you know it really kind of shows what the differences are guys to wrap things up you know the G 19 X was designed as an entry into the modular handgun system for the US military trials there's a lot of argument that it should have one but it did come in second and really it would have been a wonderful choice then we have what law enforcement was really calling for was a design of the G 19 X in the black and some other added features and so now we have the G 45 we have two pistols that are designed for a certain criteria not necessarily for the civilian market but definitely is usable in the civilian market and I think we have gotten an advantage because of these two pistol designs if you choose to buy it that's you know that's up to you you know you want to go with this tried-and-true G 19 that's great the G 26 or g17 I mean there's a ton of different models but I'm really glad to see these added to the Glock line now I haven't seen any announcement on the price but with the night sights and the front cocking serrations we're probably going to see a little bit of an increase probably more like the G 19 X and I want to thank Glock for sending the G 45 for this test and evaluation looks like I'm gonna be buying this one to add to my collection and again I want to thank Sports misguide for their support you SOOC with any purchase over $100 and get $20 off be strong be of good courage god bless america live the Republic [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] their generation five pistol lot and I think I've already said all that is that right though Lord I hope this is it okay take 3,000 [Music] Glock is the biggest supplier of handguns for for police and military day now tonight in military the law enforcement branch I mean one for from branch was a branch branch a branch concerned
