This "12 Days of Glocktober" episode reviews the Glock 41 Gen 4, chambered in .45 ACP. The presenter highlights its 'practical tactical' design, intended for competition, and discusses its longer barrel length (5.31 inches) and standard 13-round capacity. While acknowledging its potential for competition due to .45 ACP's impact factor, the presenter finds the recoil challenging and describes it as a "punch" that is "not for the weak," ultimately deeming it their least favorite Glock due to the significant recoil and its effect on grip comfort (Glock knuckle).
