Glock G45 V 9mm 4.02″ Black — 3×10-Rd Mags

Description

Let me tell you about a pistol that I believe strikes just the right balance for a man who wants a full grip without toting a full-size barrel afield. The Glock G45 V 9mm 4.02″ Black — 3×10-Rd Mags is what I’d call a compact crossover handgun, and it’s been a welcome addition to my range bag. You get the shorter slide that’s easier to maneuver through a brush or in a vehicle, paired with a full-size frame that gives you a solid, controllable hold. Chambered in 9mm, this V-series model keeps all the Gen5 refinements you’ve come to expect, plus an internal redesign for smoother performance and an added layer of safety. It ships in a no-nonsense black finish with fixed sights and a serrated slide, and it includes three 10-round magazines right out of the box.

Key Features

• Compact Crossover Design — Why it matters: You get the shorter, more concealable slide of a compact pistol while still enjoying the full-size grip that lets you keep all your fingers on the frame for better recoil management and follow-up shots.
• Gen5 Feature Set with V-Series Internals — Why it matters: This includes the nDLC finish for corrosion resistance, a flared magwell for faster reloads, and an updated trigger mechanism that delivers a consistent, clean break every time.
• Three 10-Round Magazines Included — Why it matters: Having three mags right from the start means less time hunting for spares and more time shooting or training. It’s a practical value that saves you money down the road.
• Serrated Slide with Fixed Sights — Why it matters: The serrations give you a positive grip when racking the slide, even with wet or gloved hands, and the fixed sights are rugged and reliable for fast target acquisition in the field.
• Internal Redesign for Enhanced Safety — Why it matters: The V-series incorporates an updated trigger housing that reduces the chance of accidental discharges, giving you peace of mind whether you’re carrying or storing the pistol.

Who It’s For

This Glock G45 V is built for the southern shooter who wants a dependable sidearm for everything from dove field carry to home defense. It’s ideal for the bird hunter who needs a compact pistol that doesn’t compromise on grip comfort or capacity.

If you’re a shooter who values reliability, simplicity, and a proven platform, this one’s for you.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Reliable Glock Gen5 action, full-size grip for better handling, three magazines included, nDLC finish resists rust and wear, easy to maintain and clean.

FAQ

Is the Glock G45 V compatible with standard Glock holsters?

Yes, the G45 V shares the same frame dimensions as the Glock 17 and 19X, so it fits most full-size Glock holsters. The shorter slide may leave some extra room, but it will still secure properly in most quality holsters.

Does the V-series have a different trigger pull weight than the standard Gen5?

Per Glock specs, the V-series trigger pull is identical to the standard Gen5 at about 5.5 pounds. The internal redesign focuses on safety and reliability rather than altering the trigger pull weight.

Can I use standard Glock 17 magazines in the G45 V?

Yes, the G45 V accepts all Glock 9mm double-stack magazines designed for the Glock 17, 19, 19X, and 45. The included 10-round magazines are for compliance, but standard-capacity magazines work as well.

What is the difference between the G45 and the G45 V?

The G45 V includes an updated internal trigger housing and a redesigned safety mechanism compared to the standard G45. The slide and frame dimensions remain the same, but the V-series offers enhanced safety features per Glock’s latest engineering.
