Happy to hear you talking about this gun. I love this gun! My go-to for EDC when I don't need to deep conceal. I think the name throws a lot of people off as they assume it is a 45 caliber.
Thank you for commenting. Yes, I agree with you. The glock numbering system for their pistols is as confusing as it could possibly be. And the Glock 45 is really an exceptional handgun. I appreciate you watching and share your perspective. I hope you will subscribe.
Definitely the best duty gun I've carried in my 9 years on the job. In addition to the 45, I carried a M&P .45 auto, Glock 17 and Glock 31 but the Glock 45 takes the cake.
I love mine, I did a Holosun 407c, glock performance trigger with the Johnny Glocks vex shoe and plus connector with a pure tungsten guide rod. It just runs. Period.
Thank you for watching. I’m very interested in picking up a performance trigger as I’ve read good things about them. Like you I’m finding this an incredibly solid pistol. Keep us posted on any new additions or changes that you make. Thanks again for commenting I hope you will subscribe.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC don’t do the performance trigger by itself. It’s too hairy for a defensive trigger. It with Johnny Glocks vex shoe and plus connector upgrade makes it perfect. If I had it to do over I would’ve just bought one of Johnny Glocks drop in kits and be done with it. Same amount of money for the GPT with his vex shoe and connector. The performance trigger by itself it’s easy to blow thru. The wall isn’t anywhere stiff enough. In a defensive situation I didn’t think it was safe enough. And that’s coming from a combat vet that’s carried all kinds of different weapons.
@@Drewski423 That's for your perspective. I hear you and many people feel that a 4 lb trigger and way the performance trigger breaks further forward is a concern to them. I'll be posting a review on the GPT in my G45 tomorrow. The GPT trigger weight is not a concern for me. I feel like it has a definite wall and it's not too light. I've carried 1911s and other SAO pistols like the Sig Legion SAO and both trigger we're under 4 pounds. In my opinion the weight of the trigger is secondary to training, practice and proficiency. I agree with you that some people who don't have proper training and skills would be better with a 5 lb trigger. (I shot a stock Gen 2 Glock 17, for a few years with just a stock trigger and did a 120 hours in different classes with that pistol. It worked fine but once I had the proper trigger management skills I started upgrading my triggers). There is nothing wrong with a 5 lb trigger but is is not as easy to deliver a more precise shots especially at distance. I'll definitely look into the Johnny Glocks drop in kits. Perhaps try that in my Gen 5 G19 MOS! (Thanks for the tip.) Ultimately, it comes down to each user and their proficiency with their chosen defensive tool. Thanks again for commenting. I apologize for taking so long to respond. Stay safe.
If you need to use a red dot at 3-7 yards you should remove it and sell your gun. Train with your sites and red dot regularly. The G45 GEN 5 MOS or Walther PDP is on my radar. Good video sir thank you!!
Can't train with iron sights if you can't see them buddy. When I hit my late forties I could no longer see anything but a blur up close. With the red dot I'm able to put that on the target without a problem. I noticed that people that have regular glasses have no problem with iron sights But I only wear reading glasses. When I put those on I can see the irons crisp and clear. But when I look down range the target is all blurry. Without the reading glasses the irons are all blurry but down range I can see the target clearly. That's the one problem with the gun Community they are so quick to judge a situation without knowing any facts.
Your right pulling at the rear of the slide , the extractor is also a loaded chamber indicator sticks out when loaded . I got this model because my hand fits better than the 19 . My'n was before the MOS VERSION came out , I practiced for a year with iron sights, then installed the DPP DOVETAIL ADAPTER PLATE W/Holosun 507c green Volcan ACSS reticle, I've gotten even better than before it was worth it . NOW there's a better plate the rear sight is mechined into the front of the plate so you can co-wittness looking through the optic . Or Glock store has what they call the "tactical cut" milling in front of the rear sight so you can still co-wittness through the optic . G-45 is Nice
I installed Glock store 3.5 lb. double diamond trigger connector link, with the stock springs it's 4.5lbs. Lenny has a video showing the install, very easy to do. The trigger up take is slightly less, the wall is clean crisp brake, the reset is slightly quicker. I'm happy with it , my groups improved immediately.

@popeye1313 i’m not sure what you are referring to other than the takedown points on either side of the frame that allow you to slide the slide off the frame. If this is the case, what you want to do is only retract the slide a very short distance enough to pull those two points downward to release the slide. It’s not hard to do once you get the hang of it.
Went with the 19x, myself, mainly because it already has tritium sights, and I'm not much into modding. Still, I may end up getting a g45 just to have one in black lol Great video, by the way!

I do not like the finger grooves as well. On the Glocks they never fit my hand exactly right. My ring finger rides over one of the nubs. It's the main reason I went with the Gen 5. And like you, I don't care for a red dot sight on a self defense pistol. Enjoyed your review.

@@SaundersE5 Nothing wrong with Irons. After 40 years of training with them they're slightly faster for me. Much better fit for me on a carbine than a pistol ... still it's good to know how to operate RDOs on pistols. You never know if or when a firearm from a battlefield pick up might have one. Thanks for commenting.
I feel like we all have a mental illness at this point. It's like the iPhone nothing actually truly changes with it and everyone raves. This is quite literally like every other Glock with the most small changes ever
Hey Sir, I agree with you in many regards. Glock has done very little to innovate their product. That being said, I do enjoy this pistol with its full size frame, and slightly shorter slide. I own several other Glock, 9 mm pistols, and I have to say this is my favorite in regards to balance and suitability. I do appreciate you watching and commenting and hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and viewing some of our other content.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC respect. I own a 19X and do love Glock I just can't help but notice at this point that they're really is no innovation. I feel like next they'll change where they engrave the Glock logo on the pistol and we will all go nuts over it 😅
@@jdinn32 so true! And, their lack of innovation has opened the market for so many other fine manufacturers. I happen to be a huge fan of the Smith and Wesson, M&P9 mm pistols. They have constantly done upgrades to their trigger, frame size and provided options for users. Glock, on the other hand, seems to be following the lead set by other leading manufacturers at this point.
Like you, we appreciate the Glock design. This pistol is truly exceptional with the radian arms ramjet, and after burner. I appreciate you sharing your perspective. If you haven’t already, I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and sharing it with friends and family.
Thank you for watching. It all comes down to personal preference. I still have two Glocks that have the finger grooves. I’ve found, for my hands, not having the grooves works better. I know many people like you who appreciate them. It always comes down to a personal preference with frames, sights, triggers, and grips. Thank you for commenting. I hope you will subscribe to the channel and check out some of our other content. Stay safe.
I just subscribed to you. Someone got your algorithm going lol. Hopefully you get to 100k real soon. Great review btw. I’m personally still not sure which one I like more between the G45 and G19x. Thankfully I own both since I just couldn’t figure out if it’s color or access to gen 5 mags. I think it was the lanyard loop that won out 😂
Thanks for the sub! What has been a deal changer to me has been the radium, arms ramjet, and after burner. This combination added to the Glock 45 makes this pistol absolutely outstanding. I do like the G 19 X as well. My issue is not enough money to buy all the fireworks I want! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Hope you will share the channel with like-minded, friends and family.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC Compensation is fun on the range for sure, but I wouldn’t carry one for self defense. Both of mine are in my rotation for carry so I train the way I carry. I’d love to try to run one for the fun for sure. I just can’t justify the cost for just plinking on the range. I’m not saying carrying one is like horribly bad. I just wouldn’t recommend it with today’s climate in politics. They are after gun owners and trying to get you in every way they can down to even the ammo that you carry. Thankfully I do live in Alabama. Far less crazy than say being in Oregon. But why give a lawyer the option to come after you for carrying a modified gun??? Just my opinion. Stay safe and stay ready! 31B out!
I'm a first time purchaser going armed security listening and watching different videos to decide on a conceal and duty weapon. Any good suggestions appreciated. Thank you Sir❤
I would recommend a Glock 19 9 mm pistol. These are close enough to a full-size pistol to be easy to shoot and compact enough to be easy to concealed carry. I hope this helps. Thanks for commenting. I hope you will subscribe.
Thanks for watching. From a personal protection standpoint, press checks make sense when you've confirming you've got a loaded round in the chamber. As an instructor I've seen many people fail to seat the magazine and when they lack the slide there is no round chambered. This is embarrassing in competition or a class but could be catastrophic in a self-defense event. Most basic self defense training teaches this important skill in a level 1 class... regardless if you're shooting a carbine, shotgun or handgun. As noted, I prefer doing this from the rear of the slide on a pistol. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you'll subscribe!
I don’t know that one is softer than the other it’s just different. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice it, but given my physical handicap, I do notice felt recoil more than some might. Thanks for commenting!
@@usa174 i’m fortunate to own many glocks, and many MNP pistols. The ergonomics of the Smith and Wesson are better for me than the Glock . Also, from a durability standpoint, the Smith & Wesson‘s have held up, just as well as my glocks. Nevertheless, I’m not selling any of my Glock pistols!
Hey, I’m not familiar with what you described as a weight compensator. Are you talking about a compensator for the barrel itself? Thanks for watching and commenting.
Roy, I am unsure what you’re referring to when you say the Glock 25. I assume you mean the Glock 45 which is a double stack magazine and the frame size is pretty much identical to the Glock 17. Thank you for watching and commenting I hope you will subscribe to the channel and share it with friends and family.
Has Glock entertained the idea of a G17 length barrel w/a G19 lenght grip,or do they already have this? The G45 has its place but when it come to concealed carry the grip is usually the difficult thing to hide. I shoot a G30 & I do wish it had just enough grip so that I didn't have to have a magazine to establish a full grip,that's about the only thing I'd change on it.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, many people have suggested the Glock 19 frame with the Glock 17 slide. To my knowledge glock has not listen to its customers. As far as I know, this set up does not exist. The Glock 45 would not be my primary go to for concealed carry. I prefer the Glock 48 or Sig P365 XL.
Sir, thank you so much for the suggestion. I appreciate you watching and commenting and hope you will subscribe to the channel and share it with friends.
Has anyone had an issue with their Glock 45s slide not closing when you manuallly pull it back to close it on a newly loaded mag ? It closes fine with the release but not always when you manually pull the slide back to rack it
It’s possible that you were riding the slide forward, and that is causing the round not to fully seat and the slide to be out of battery. The best way to rack the slide is to be aggressive ….pull the thing to the rear then let it go. Many people ride the slide forward, and this can cause stoppages like the one you’re describing. The other issue could be the ammunition though that would happen in both instances. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Watch the video and ask the question. Hopefully, you will subscribe to the channel and check out some of our other content. By the way, there is one video on the channel about the “power stroke” in which we discuss how to effectively rack the slide of a pistol.
this was a great video on a great gun i'm going to buy my first gun and it's going to be this pistol right here. i like the way the gun felt in my hand and i have to buy one the place where i saw it the price is 650 not bad so i'm going to get the glock 45. i should get the glock 19 as well because it's the compact version of the 45. i want to know what's a good holster to conceal the g45 or this have to be a self defense round
Sir, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. It really comes down to your body shape, and how you plan to conceal the pistol. Many people have no issues whatsoever concealing, a full size frame like this Glock 45. However, some people prefer a, single stack magazine set up like the G48. I use the shield arms 15 round magazines in this particular handgun and it’s one of my favorite every day carry pistols. Frankly, you absolutely would never go wrong by buying a Glock 19. I own four of them, and it found them absolutely outstanding. As far as Holsters, it really depends on what you’re looking for. Inside the waistband, outside the waistband, appendix carry, 4 o’clock carry. I hope all this helps. And, I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and sharing it with friends and family.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC They refused glock 17 because of the handgloves swedish police uses. Glock 45 made it more easier to recharge the magasin with these gloves on.
Yes, thank you for sharing that. I agree. I always just remove the slide from the frame and then remove the screw that attaches the compensator. Little bit of extra work, but I think well worth it based on the performance of the product. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Any other thing was you had mentioned replacing the sights on the clock 45 model to iron sights what brand it was SX something tell me where I buy them
You just want a fan dangle ▶️ button 100K subs 😆. If you get one, put a custom bullet hole graphic on it for individuality! Wow after all this time never knew you had a unique ✋️ so to speak - too focused on the guns themselves! And yes, G45 has to the best all-rounder since the G19 Gen 3! Personally the Gen 5s have to be the best line so far - not waiting out for a Gen 6 anytime soon!
Many thanks for watching and commenting. My hand is what it is so the goal is always to adapt and overcome. I agree I’m really enjoying the clock 45. All the best and stay safe.
Sir, thank you so much for watching the video. Regarding my choice, it would depend on the application or mission. The full size Glock 17 is a great duty or service weapon. However, the combination of the full sized frame, combined with the slightly shorter barrel of the G45 seems to be a fantastic balance to me. Frankly, I don’t think you could go wrong with either one! Once again, thank you for commenting. I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and sharing it with friends and family.

Irs just another glock. I've got many cuz they all work... not because they are the greatest technology or the most innovative...i have them because they work. So a new model/style/generation is just that...the newest with the same everything else
Sir, thank you so much for your perspective. I agree with you. The Glock is a utilitarian defense tool that is very reliable. They have failed to innovate at all in the last 20+ years. Like you I own several blocks and would want a Glock if there were no other choices. These days I primarily shoot Smith & Wesson, M&P 9 mm pistols. They have continued to innovate and offer different options. Nevertheless, I still will always respect and appreciate the simplicity and reliability of the Glock design. I recently added a radium, arms ramjet and after burner. These really enhance the way the pistol shot for me. Granted, I have a physical handicap which doesn’t give me as much recoil control as others who have two normal hands and arms. Once again, thank you for sharing your perspective and input.

I don’t know that I’m quite illegal at this point, but the far left progressive folks in the state are intent on disarming the public. It’s incredibly sad and disappointing, because so, if you understand the value of personal protection and self-defense. Over the last couple of years, many people on the far left are shocked when they call the police and the police don’t comfort 30 to 40 minutes even if there’s violence involved. It’s a very sad situation. Thanks for watching in commenting
The G45 is a full-size frame. It takes magazines for the Glock 17. The Glock19 magazine is too short to work in this frame. The pistol comes with the same magazines that a Glock 17 uses. These are 17 round standard capacity magazines. Unless you live in a state that restrict mag capacity. Thank you so much for watching. We have multiple videos on different Glock pistols. I hope you will subscribe to the channel and share it with friends and family.

I’ll stick with irons, just a personal preference, you do you.
@@SaundersE5 Nothing wrong with Irons. After 40 years of training with them they're slightly faster for me. Much better fit for me on a carbine than a pistol ... still it's good to know how to operate RDOs on pistols. You never know if or when a firearm from a battlefield pick up might have one.

I feel like we all have a mental illness at this point. It's like the iPhone nothing actually truly changes with it and everyone raves. This is quite literally like every other Glock with the most small changes ever
Hey Sir, I agree with you in many regards. Glock has done very little to innovate their product.
That being said, I do enjoy this pistol with its full size frame, and slightly shorter slide. I own several other Glock, 9 mm pistols, and I have to say this is my favorite in regards to balance and suitability.
I do appreciate you watching and commenting and hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and viewing some of our other content.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC respect. I own a 19X and do love Glock I just can't help but notice at this point that they're really is no innovation. I feel like next they'll change where they engrave the Glock logo on the pistol and we will all go nuts over it 😅
@@jdinn32 so true! And, their lack of innovation has opened the market for so many other fine manufacturers. I happen to be a huge fan of the Smith and Wesson, M&P9 mm pistols. They have constantly done upgrades to their trigger, frame size and provided options for users. Glock, on the other hand, seems to be following the lead set by other leading manufacturers at this point.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC literally!
@@jdinn32You are so right. I own three Glocks. They're great, but the "reviews" are ridiculous at this point. 😄

How would you describe the recoil compared to a G17 ?

Never did understand all the finger-groove haters…I like’em.
Thank you for watching. It all comes down to personal preference. I still have two Glocks that have the finger grooves. I’ve found, for my hands, not having the grooves works better. I know many people like you who appreciate them. It always comes down to a personal preference with frames, sights, triggers, and grips.

I just subscribed to you. Someone got your algorithm going lol. Hopefully you get to 100k real soon. Great review btw. I’m personally still not sure which one I like more between the G45 and G19x. Thankfully I own both since I just couldn’t figure out if it’s color or access to gen 5 mags. I think it was the lanyard loop that won out 😂
Thanks for the sub! What has been a deal changer to me has been the radium, arms ramjet, and after burner. This combination added to the Glock 45 makes this pistol absolutely outstanding. I do like the G 19 X as well. My issue is not enough money to buy all the fireworks I want!

@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC Compensation is fun on the range for sure, but I wouldn’t carry one for self defense. Both of mine are in my rotation for carry so I train the way I carry. I’d love to try to run one for the fun for sure. I just can’t justify the cost for just plinking on the range. I’m not saying carrying one is like horribly bad. I just wouldn’t recommend it with today’s climate in politics. They are after gun owners and trying to get you in every way they can down to even the ammo that you carry. Thankfully I do live in Alabama. Far less crazy than say being in Oregon. But why give a lawyer the option to come after you for carrying a modified gun??? Just my opinion. Stay safe and stay ready! 31B out!

I'm a first time purchaser going armed security listening and watching different videos to decide on a conceal and duty weapon. Any good suggestions appreciated. Thank you Sir❤
I would recommend a Glock 19 9 mm pistol. These are close enough to a full-size pistol to be easy to shoot and compact enough to be easy to concealed carry. I hope this helps.

Press checks... never understood the concept.
Thanks for watching. From a personal protection standpoint, press checks make sense when you've confirming you've got a loaded round in the chamber. As an instructor I've seen many people fail to seat the magazine and when they lack the slide there is no round chambered. This is embarrassing in competition or a class but could be catastrophic in a self-defense event. Most basic self defense training teaches this important skill in a level 1 class... regardless if you're shooting a carbine, shotgun or handgun. As noted, I prefer doing this from the rear of the slide on a pistol.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you'll subscribe!
You mentioned a different recoil impulse between the m&p and Glock. Which do you feel is softer?
I don’t know that one is softer than the other it’s just different. Most people probably wouldn’t even notice it, but given my physical handicap, I do notice felt recoil more than some might.
Thanks for commenting!
I love Glocks. It’s all I own at the moment but man that M&p feels good in the hand. I want that metal version.
@@usa174 i’m fortunate to own many glocks, and many MNP pistols. The ergonomics of the Smith and Wesson are better for me than the Glock . Also, from a durability standpoint, the Smith & Wesson‘s have held up, just as well as my glocks.
Nevertheless, I’m not selling any of my Glock pistols!
Why does glock not make a weight compensator for the 45 like they do the 17 and 19?
Hey, I’m not familiar with what you described as a weight compensator. Are you talking about a compensator for the barrel itself?
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC it makes the short barrels look like the barrel end of a desert eagle.
Does thdG25 have the thin grip or standard size vrip?
Roy, I am unsure what you’re referring to when you say the Glock 25. I assume you mean the Glock 45 which is a double stack magazine and the frame size is pretty much identical to the Glock 17.
Thank you for watching and commenting I hope you will subscribe to the channel and share it with friends and family.
Has Glock entertained the idea of a G17 length barrel w/a G19 lenght grip,or do they already have this? The G45 has its place but when it come to concealed carry the grip is usually the difficult thing to hide. I shoot a G30 & I do wish it had just enough grip so that I didn't have to have a magazine to establish a full grip,that's about the only thing I'd change on it.
You can sort of get that kind of set up with the gen 5 Glock 47 and Glock 19, you can have the compact grip but with the Glock 17 barrel
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, many people have suggested the Glock 19 frame with the Glock 17 slide. To my knowledge glock has not listen to its customers. As far as I know, this set up does not exist. The Glock 45 would not be my primary go to for concealed carry. I prefer the Glock 48 or Sig P365 XL.
You could essentially get a threaded barrel to make it the 17 length barrel for the 19
Try Night Fision sights. You will not be sorry.
Sir, thank you so much for the suggestion.

Has anyone had an issue with their Glock 45s slide not closing when you manuallly pull it back to close it on a newly loaded mag ? It closes fine with the release but not always when you manually pull the slide back to rack it
It’s possible that you were riding the slide forward, and that is causing the round not to fully seat and the slide to be out of battery.
The best way to rack the slide is to be aggressive ….pull the thing to the rear then let it go. Many people ride the slide forward, and this can cause stoppages like the one you’re describing.
The other issue could be the ammunition though that would happen in both instances.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Watch the video and ask the question. Hopefully, you will subscribe to the channel and check out some of our other content. By the way, there is one video on the channel about the “power stroke” in which we discuss how to effectively rack the slide of a pistol.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC i wish it was something that easy. I think it has to do with the mag
this was a great video on a great gun i'm going to buy my first gun and it's going to be this pistol right here. i like the way the gun felt in my hand and i have to buy one the place where i saw it the price is 650 not bad so i'm going to get the glock 45. i should get the glock 19 as well because it's the compact version of the 45. i want to know what's a good holster to conceal the g45 or this have to be a self defense round
Sir, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
It really comes down to your body shape, and how you plan to conceal the pistol.
Many people have no issues whatsoever concealing, a full size frame like this Glock 45. However, some people prefer a, single stack magazine set up like the G48. I use the shield arms 15 round magazines in this particular handgun and it’s one of my favorite every day carry pistols.
Frankly, you absolutely would never go wrong by buying a Glock 19. I own four of them, and it found them absolutely outstanding.
As far as Holsters, it really depends on what you’re looking for. Inside the waistband, outside the waistband, appendix carry, 4 o’clock carry.
I hope all this helps. And, I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and sharing it with friends and family.
i@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC i'm going to buy me the glock 19 and the glock 45 and i'm going to learn the both of those guns
Good for you. I do recommend that you get some formal training in addition, check out video on master trigger.

Swedish police changed now from Sig Sauer to Glock 45
Interesting. Thanks for sharing and commenting. Hope you'll subscribe.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC
They refused glock 17 because of the handgloves swedish police uses.
Glock 45 made it more easier to recharge the magasin with these gloves on.
The only problem I have is to lock the slide so that I can dismantle the firearm
Yes, thank you for sharing that. I agree. I always just remove the slide from the frame and then remove the screw that attaches the compensator. Little bit of extra work, but I think well worth it based on the performance of the product. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I have a hard time with those two little pins on either side when you have to push them down to remove the slide is there is no easy way
Any other thing was you had mentioned replacing the sights on the clock 45 model to iron sights what brand it was SX something tell me where I buy them
You just want a fan dangle ▶️ button 100K subs 😆. If you get one, put a custom bullet hole graphic on it for individuality!
Wow after all this time never knew you had a unique ✋️ so to speak - too focused on the guns themselves!
And yes, G45 has to the best all-rounder since the G19 Gen 3! Personally the Gen 5s have to be the best line so far - not waiting out for a Gen 6 anytime soon!
Many thanks for watching and commenting. My hand is what it is so the goal is always to adapt and overcome.
I agree I’m really enjoying the clock 45.
All the best and stay safe.
what is your choice glock 17 gen5 or glock 45
Sir, thank you so much for watching the video. Regarding my choice, it would depend on the application or mission. The full size Glock 17 is a great duty or service weapon. However, the combination of the full sized frame, combined with the slightly shorter barrel of the G45 seems to be a fantastic balance to me.
Frankly, I don’t think you could go wrong with either one!
Once again, thank you for commenting. I hope you will consider subscribing to the channel and sharing it with friends and family.

Irs just another glock. I've got many cuz they all work... not because they are the greatest technology or the most innovative...i have them because they work. So a new model/style/generation is just that...the newest with the same everything else
Sir, thank you so much for your perspective. I agree with you. The Glock is a utilitarian defense tool that is very reliable. They have failed to innovate at all in the last 20+ years. Like you I own several blocks and would want a Glock if there were no other choices. These days I primarily shoot Smith & Wesson, M&P 9 mm pistols. They have continued to innovate and offer different options. Nevertheless, I still will always respect and appreciate the simplicity and reliability of the Glock design.
I recently added a radium, arms ramjet and after burner. These really enhance the way the pistol shot for me. Granted, I have a physical handicap which doesn’t give me as much recoil control as others who have two normal hands and arms.

I think you are illegal in the state of Oregon.
I don’t know that I’m quite illegal at this point, but the far left progressive folks in the state are intent on disarming the public. It’s incredibly sad and disappointing, because so, if you understand the value of personal protection and self-defense. Over the last couple of years, many people on the far left are shocked when they call the police and the police don’t comfort 30 to 40 minutes even if there’s violence involved. It’s a very sad situation.

Lol its as good as a 19 or 19x lol

So does it take G17 mags? G19 mags? G45 mags? Is there a difference?
The G45 is a full-size frame. It takes magazines for the Glock 17.
The Glock19 magazine is too short to work in this frame.
The pistol comes with the same magazines that a Glock 17 uses. These are 17 round standard capacity magazines. Unless you live in a state that restrict mag capacity.
