Ten brightness settings, auto-shutoff, waterproof to 1 meter there’s a lot of features packed into this affordable red-dot sight. Since we have an optics-capable pistol, we opted to outfit it with a red-dot sight, in this case the Sightmark Mini-Shot M-Spec FMS. Optic: Sightmark Mini-Shot M-Spec FMS (MSRP: $239.99) The G45 gives a lot of options, and that’s a great thing.

With the full grip of the G17, it’s easy to shoot with the slightly shorter slide it’s got room for a compensator if one is so inclined. Triggers, sights, extended levers and safeties anything that upgrades the standard Glock in either full- or mid-size guise works for the G45. Any holster that will fit the G17 or G19 will work for it - and there are a lot of them.
Perhaps one of the best things the G45 has going for it is that it can make full use of the entire Glock aftermarket. In a pistol, a half-inch of barrel length isn’t going to translate into a lot of lost velocity for 9 mm, but still test any defensive ammunition to ensure proper expansion. Cocking serrations, also a first for Glock, grace the muzzle end of the slide, which houses a 4-inch barrel, a whopping half-inch shorter than the standard G17. The trigger is arguably the best factory trigger Glock has put out, there are four different backstraps to fit the G45 to the shooter’s hand, it comes with four different optics-mounting plates and takes standard G17 magazines. There’s not a lot to say that hasn’t been said before. The only downside is that the red dot will sit a tiny bit higher on the frame than in a dedicated cut.Īs for the gun, well, it’s a Gen5 Glock.
If you never get into dots you’re not out a lot of money, nor are you limited in what you can buy like you would be if you got a slide with a specific cut. Given the small difference in price between the standard G45 and the MOS variant, if you’re even the slightest bit interested in adding a red-dot sight down the road it’s worth getting the MOS. This is a fantastic way of trying out a variety of different optics, or changing platforms as circumstances dictate.

Cut for a series of plates, Glock’s MOS line allows a wide variety of red-dot sights to be attached to one pistol. The second thing is, of course, the MOS adaptation on the slide. Putting a shorter grip on a full-size slide - pairing a G19 frame with a G17 slide, for example - puts less grip outside the waistband while the easier to-conceal slide offers a longer sight radius and more barrel for increased velocity. Despite this being the same concept as the decades-old Colt Commander, many in the gun community were confused, noting that the reverse is more often sought as a concealed-carry option.
First is the configuration, with a G19-length slide and G17-size grip. There’s actually two interesting things about the Glock G45 MOS in 9 mm. Firearm: Glock G45 (9mm) MOS (MSRP: $699)
