Traded for a Glock 45

[A.J. Holst]

My best gun buddy started tinkering around with his CZs again, so I offered him my SPD.

I don't shoot it and prefer my 75B Omega when I do feel CZexy.

He asked if I'd be interested in his Glock 45; great guy, just can't conceal it well due to the full size grip length.

Sure, a second Glock in the house is a good thing, especially since #1 is a G3 G17.

I never imagined it would become my EDC pistol, considering I'm fairly well invested the Beretta APX series.

After I got it, I thought, this is odd, 19 slide/17 frame..did some Googling and discovered it's target audience is LEO vs. civilian.

Good news for me as my body shape, professional and casual attire allow me to carry a full size pistol.

I have for years and if I'm concerned about printing, I need smaller than the so called compact versions offered. Down to single stack subcompact size.

What I like:

With medium sized hands - no back strap and undercut trigger guard, I am able to get a nice high grip.

My trigger finger / pad is then in a good position to consistently touch the trigger in the same place.

I like the little trigger bit of take up, it's smooth with a definite wall.

Click (or bang) and reset is as good as any other pistol I own.

Grip shape is well done with the slight bevel on the front strap leading in the the sides, texturing is grippy but not ouchy.

I like the front grasping grooves, left handed slide release and melted edged.

Only upgrade:  AmeriGlo sights

Love all things Glock for EDC. G45 is a great conceal gun along with a few others. Congratulations!

Couldn't agree more.
