Duration: 22:22

The Glock 49 offers a unique 'long slide, short frame' configuration, combining a G17-length slide with a G19 frame for improved shootability and concealability. It features Gen 5 upgrades like nDLC finish and a marksman barrel, and utilizes the G19's recoil system for a flat shooting experience. While offering a longer sight radius than a G19, it maintains a more concealable grip than a G17 or G34.
