One thing I noticed while shooting the G45 is that with the combination of longer grip allowing more to hold onto and the shorter slide meaning less reciprocating mass, the gun seems to have a smoother recoil impulse than the 17 and the 19. Just my personal experience.

This video is very timely for me as I'm planning on picking up a G5 17 before the end of the year, thank you for all you do for the gun community.

Great review! Thanks for the informative & comprehensive breakdown. I purchased a G45 the day it was released for retail & I agree with most everything presented in this review 👍🏻

Officially own this G45 today.. really excited

My hands fit the finger grooves and grip length of my gen 4 g19 perfectly as well and I still prefer the 45. Its more comfortable in the hand, more comfortable to shoot, with more capacity, and an easier holster draw. The added grip length makes almost no difference in concealability in the appendix position if you use a holster with a claw. I'm very happy I made the switch from the 19 to this. The 19 was always known as the "do everything" gun with its versatility and I'd say it's still one of the best in that regard, but I think the 45 and 19x have now stepped it up and taken the crown.

The difference in sight radius between the g19 and g17 isn’t enough to notice a difference in accuracy to the average shooter.

@MylesKillis

4 жыл бұрын

Shorter sight radius is actually faster

Very informative video. I settled on the G 45; I did have both, the G 17 Gen 5 and G 19 Gen 5 with the cutout in the magwell. Additionally, my G 17 was an early one, and I had the mismatched beveled slide and non beveled frame. Here's the interesting thing, and I don't think that I'm imagining it; the trigger reset on the G 45 and G 19X seems to be shorter than the the other Gen 5's. The nDLC coating is, in my opinion, the best finish of any handgun that I've ever owned. I'm glad that Glock decided to put front serations on all models.

Awesome video brother. Watched all 30 minutes and 51 seconds of it. I went to my local blue label dealer and held the G45 and the new G 19 gen 5 MOS. Torn between the two. Was hesitant about the MOS but now that I see you haven’t had problems with the plate moving by using green loctite, I may have to go with the MOS.

I bought the only G-45 I could find, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t try the trigger. When I got it home and began getting used to it, to say my trigger sucked, was an understatement! There were about 4 stopping points before I got to the wall, and while advertised at a 5.5 trigger, it felt more like 7. Mine was for duty use, so I couldn’t use the Glock Performance trigger, which says on the package that it does not pass criteria for LE use. I got an Apex trigger, which helped a tad, changed to an old, well worn Gen 4 connector, and it sucks, but drew less vacuum. I had to qualify with it yesterday, and got a very good score, which surprised me.

This is my first weapon and I am very comfortable because it is formidable, shoots well and its size is great. I have big hands and I can hold it very wel

I have all three of them. ! I. Got the 19 gen 5 ,the 19 X and the 45 gen 5 ! I. Love them all !! Cant go wrong with Glock !!!!!

I’m a BIG fan of the TruGlo fiber optic Tritium sights. They are metal body with green fiber optic tubes AND a tritium vial. They light up like neon in sunlight and have a very discernible green glow in total darkness. The rear sight is cut in such a way as to allow it’s use in one handed cycling of the slide. The front sight has an orange ring around the green tube and aids in drawing your eye to the front blade. In my humble opinion these sights are the best of both worlds and they equip all my Glocks along with with a pair of 1911’s in the gun safe.

I just picked up a 45 and it’s replacing the 19 for my carry gun. I carry appendix in a sidecar and it’s a non print issue for me. I need the larger grip bc of my hands and the 45 is balance perfect for me and the purchase area when drawing from concealment is fantastic. I’m running ameriglo hackathorns as well.

There's absolutely no need to keep the G19 when you can have the G45. Sure there's a valid argument about concealment, grip length etc but that's user specific, IMO the G45 is a well-balanced platform that will soon replace the G17 in many LEO agencies. But again, to each his own...

Taking a Dremel tool to undercut the Glock 19 trigger guard can make the Glock 19 sized grip feel more comfortable in large hands. If a 19 feels a bit too snug especially around the knuckle of your middle finger and you don't want to concealed carry the extra grip length of a 17 or 45, a the undercut trigger guard is a nice modification. Your hand then connects with the gun a tad bit higher on the frame for better recoil control. Many after market frame upgrades now use this feature in the design of their "custom" frame design. It's simple and it works!

Thank you 👍 for the insight. I have a 17 and a 21 but I don’t want to use them for CC. The 21 is a duty hostler gun not CC and my 17 is a Gen 1 Austrian made antique that still runs amazing but I wouldn’t want to turn it into police if I used it in self defense it’s my first and an antique. So I was looking at a Glock 19 but the grip size had me thinking. On the 17 my hand just fits so the 45 has that covered. Then the reduced barrel length does drop muzzle velocity which reduces energy on impact. This helps with my concern of secondary collateral damage. 9 mm have a high probability of going through your target and hitting an innocent bystander. So with defense ammunition and slightly reduced velocity/energy this gives a reduced possibility of collateral damage. So the 45 looks perfect for me. Thanks again.

It shoots high left with Hornady 135gr Shoots ok with federal 147gr It seems shorter Barrel not stabilizing Higher velocity rounds

I don't have a Gen5 Glock but I do have a G23 Gen4 and over time with use the trigger has gotten much better ... so much better that I'm sticking with the factory trigger .. I do think the Glock 45 might be my next purchase ..

These barrels on the gen 5 is a tighter tolerance and should be lubricated! I've seen videos were these gen 5's wear a little more on the barrel and in the slide! So make sure you lubricate it lightly and wipe the access off! That's what I do is pay attention to that! They will run great without lubricant but I do mine just a little where parts rub so I know it will not wear out sooner!
