Glock G45

Glock · Gen 6 · Introduced 2026

Glock lists the G45 Gen6 as a 9x19 mm Safe Action pistol pairing a compact-length slide with a full-size frame and a 17-round standard magazine. The directory normalizes its frame class as compact-crossover, following the owner's manual.

Scope note: Records the most recent generation Glock lists: the Gen6, launched at SHOT Show on January 20, 2026 after a December 6, 2025 announcement.

The earlier G45, G45 MOS and G45 V pages remain separate listings. Classification conflicts between Glock's own sources: the product page's size class reads Standard, while the owner's manual groups the G45 under "Compact Crossover" (p. 55); the directory normalizes the frame class to compact-crossover per that manual label. Gen6 pistols are optic-ready as standard, so there is no separate MOS variant. Optional magazine capacities are not listed.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.
Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.

Common questions

Answered from this record's cited fields only. Where a manufacturer publishes nothing on a subject, the question is not asked rather than answered with a blank.

01What caliber is the Glock G45 Gen 6?

The Glock G45 Gen 6 is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. Glock writes it as 9x19 mm. Ammunition should match the exact chambering marked on the firearm.

02How many rounds does the Glock G45 Gen 6 hold?

Glock lists a 17-round standard magazine for the G45 Gen 6. Glock lists no optional capacities for this record. These are magazine capacities; a round carried in the chamber is not counted here.

03What is the barrel length of the Glock G45 Gen 6?

Glock lists a barrel length of 102 mm / 4.02 in.

04What are the dimensions of the Glock G45 Gen 6?

Glock publishes 189 × 34.4 × 139 mm / 7.44 × 1.35 × 5.47 in (height: including magazine). Any measurement basis shown is the manufacturer's own qualifier; where none is shown, the manufacturer states none.

05How much does the Glock G45 Gen 6 weigh?

Glock publishes 575 g / 20.28 oz without a magazine; 655 g / 23.1 oz with an empty magazine fitted. These are different measurement conditions and are not interchangeable.

06What size class is the Glock G45 Gen 6?

Glock lists the G45 Gen 6 as Standard. This directory normalizes that to its compact-crossover frame class, so records from different makers can be grouped; the manufacturer's own wording is kept alongside it.

07Is the Glock G45 Gen 6 striker-fired?

Glock publishes "Safe Action" as its own name for the action and does not classify an ignition type for the G45 Gen 6. This directory records the manufacturer's wording and leaves the ignition field empty rather than inferring a classification the source does not state.

08What is the trigger pull on the Glock G45 Gen 6?

Glock lists 26 N / ≈5.85 lb. A published figure is a specification rather than a measurement of any individual firearm.

09When was the Glock G45 Gen 6 introduced?

2026, per the source cited on this record. Where a manufacturer publishes no dated announcement, this directory records no year rather than estimating one.

10Does the Glock G45 Gen 6 have a warranty?

Glock states: One year from original purchase by the initial consumer; regional terms apply. Terms are as published at the date this record was checked and may vary by region.
