Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new Glock pistols introduced at SHOT Show 2024?

At SHOT Show 2024, Glock unveiled three new pistols: the Gen 5 Glock 29 chambered in 10mm Auto, the Gen 5 Glock 30 in .45 ACP, and the unique Glock 49, which features a Glock 17 slide on a Glock 19 frame.

How does the low bore axis affect shooting the Glock 29 Gen 5?

The low bore axis on the Glock 29 Gen 5, like other Glocks, significantly helps to tame the recoil and muzzle flip associated with the potent 10mm Auto cartridge, making it more manageable for the shooter.

What makes the Glock 30 Gen 5 notable for its caliber?

The Glock 30 Gen 5 is highlighted for its surprisingly mild shooting characteristics for a .45 ACP pistol. Despite its compact size, it's described as an 'absolute pussycat' to shoot, making it very easy to handle.

What is the Glock 49 and why is it significant?

The Glock 49 is a hybrid pistol combining a Glock 17 slide with a Glock 19 frame. This configuration, often called a 'Glock 19L', has been a highly requested design by Glock enthusiasts for its balance of sight radius and grip size.

How do the thicker Glock 29 and 30 Gen 5 pistols impact concealed carry?

The increased width of the Glock 29 Gen 5 (10mm) and Glock 30 Gen 5 (.45 ACP) due to their heavier calibers means they require a good, sturdy belt and appropriate clothing to conceal effectively inside the waistband.
