History of the Glock 19 with U.S. Special Forces

Dead-on accurate portrayal. He was kind enough to not mention the JAF was redlining practically every M9 that came through for cracked slides and frames; so most of the M9s just never came back from maintenance once they went down.

I especially like his comments about the G45, it’s really popular right now with certain units.

Looked at G45 today and ordered a G19 gen 5. There is a reason the LGS had several G45's and no G19's.
 
They are selling a ton of Glock 19 and Glock 45 models. A lot of Law enforcement has switched to the Glock 45 model as well for example NC Probation and Parole, Wildlife also.

I don't understand the 45. If I'm going to carry a full size grip what is chopping the barrel down save me?

No clue. I guess it’s like your underwear it’s up to you. You don’t have to agree with what I wear if I even wear any but it’s my body my choice and I didn’t ask you to like my choice anymore than Mr Glock asked you or I for our opinion nor does he care what you or I think. Now If I had to guess, it would all go back to Marketing and what agencies and people he DID care about’s opinion asking for it such as LEO or Military…it’s all about the Benjamin’s.

Supposedly the shorter slide interferes with the vest less and clears the holster quicker. Personally I don't see how .25" makes that much difference. I never had an issue with my Glock 22 and the bulky iiiA vests we had but I can see where both a smaller grip AND maybe a 1 inch shorter slide would have been noticeable.

I love my 34 but it might just be some Freudian thing
