Glock 45 Gen 5
Best crossover pistol for shooters needing full-size capacity and compact handling.
This hybrid design finally marries the compact slide of a carry pistol with the full-sized grip capacity most shooters actually prefer. It sacrifices the concealability of a shorter frame for a more secure, high-capacity hold that feels significantly more natural in the hand.
