Glock 49

[mRad]

There are some sayings I’ve heard over the years:

The average civilian gunfight is three rounds at three yards in three seconds.

Nobody ever asks for less capacity or a smaller gun in a gunfight.

A subcompact on your hip is better than a full-size at home.

Statistically, you’re never going to get in a gunfight.

Play with your dick, not guns.





At the end of the day, obsessing over the perfect gun is futile. Trying to figure out what it is on an Internet forum, even more so. The more training you have, the less you care about what gun you’re using.

Most of the time I carry a mostly stock Gen 3 Glock 19 and one reload on my belt, and a handheld flashlight. I’ve used similar in force on force and never felt the gun is what held me back, it was always my skills.

We as enthusiasts turn the gun into a hobby more so than a tool. That is part of our problem obsessing over things that don’t matter. I’m not saying that we can’t improve technology over time, but the average shooter can’t max out the capability of the gear we already have.

I’m getting so confused by all of this; for the longest time, a full-size slide with compact grip was supposed to be the cat’s meow, but very few manufacturers did it. Then Glock comes out with the opposite, a compact slide with full-size grip in the 19x/45 and everyone went nuts over it. Now they’re doing the first configuration. So, which one is Perfection?

To Glock, any configuration that sells more Glocks!

I really like the G45 and G43X 'crossovers' for what they are - the longer grip giving better grip / leverage and a usable slide / barrel length.

I know some love the long slide and it's the 'easy' part to conceal, but anything past a G19 length slide is a pain when I sit down or do real life activities other that standing in front of the mirror.

The Boomer "But Mah Sight Radius" is OBE when you put a red dot on the pistol (if it wasn't completely already - an extra inch of iron sight radius at CCW ranges means nothing to me even without dots).

But normally the G19 / G43X is the perfect compromise of size, weight, shoot-ability, and capacity for me. I shoot the G45 faster / better than the G19, but I shoot the G19 better than the G43X and G43.

Back to the G49 - I think I'd prefer a G45 w/comp to a G49, but I'm happy Glock is producing new models people want.

How well balanced it would feel in one’s hands is the question for me.

Are the slides in the G45 and G49 interchangeable?
One could have a G45 and a G49 and by changing slides could make similar G19 and G17 setups, and have four different configurations.

Who said it shoots better. Many fans of the G45 would disagree with you. I own the 17, G45 and 19 and all shoot very well. Very hard to tell a difference

Competent shooters who do standardized drills with shot timers.

That’s me also an A class shooter. I have a GM friend who shoots with the AMU and he prefers the recoil on the 45. So again your opinion not everyone’s reality.

This is what the 43 should have been. While I'm a Glock guy, Gaston needs to pull his head out of his ass.

Glocks are like hammers...They do what they're suppose to do. How much more improvement do they have left in them? That could be said for most modern quality semi auto pistols.
