GLOCK 45 Gen6 OR FS 9x19 Pistol

GLOCK 45 Gen6 OR FS 9x19

The GLOCK 45 Gen6 is a semi-automatic pistol in 9x19 caliber built around a crossover architecture: a compact-length slide combined with a standard-size frame. This configuration maintains a standard capacity of 17 cartridges while adopting the main ergonomic improvements of the sixth generation GLOCK.

Crossover format and 102 mm barrel

The G45 Gen6 features a GLOCK Marksman Barrel of 102 mm, or 4.02 inches. Its overall length is 189 mm, with a 174 mm slide. The standard-size frame offers a total height of 139 mm with magazine and uses the standard 17-round magazines of the G17 format.

The listed weight is 575 g without magazine and 655 g with an empty magazine. The total width reaches 34.4 mm, while the slide measures 25.5 mm wide.

Gen6 ergonomics and RTF6 texture

The sixth generation introduces the RTF6 texture, which combines two patterns and covers a larger surface of the grip. This texture extends up the frame and reaches the thumb rest.

The grip profile also includes a palm swell and an enlarged beavertail. Two additional backstraps are provided to adjust the grip circumference to the user’s preference.

Flat trigger and ambidextrous controls

The G45 Gen6 retains the Safe Action system while adopting a flat-faced trigger. This geometry aims to provide a more consistent finger placement. The trigger pull weight is about 26 N depending on the configuration.

The slide stop is ambidextrous and its perimeter is enlarged. The magazine release button is reversible and can be installed on the left or right side of the frame.

Slide serrations and nDLC finish

The Gen6 slide serrations have a more deeply angled geometry to increase the contact surface during handling. The slide receives an nDLC finish designed to enhance surface protection against abrasion and corrosion.

Gen6 Optic Ready system

The G45 Gen6 is Optic Ready from the factory. The system uses three numbered polymer plates that allow mounting several families of sights directly on the slide with the corresponding interface.

Plate 02: Trijicon, Holosun except 509, and Ameriglo

Plate 03: C-More

Plate 04: Leupold and Eotech

Exact compatibility depends on the sight footprint and the screws provided for the interface used.
