When the Glock G45 was released in 2018, no one really expected it. Three years on, could it now be the best Glock ever made? Let's find out. A few months before the G45 hit the scene, Glock had just released the G19x to much fanfare. The G19X was Glock’s entry to win the US Army contract for a new sidearm. Although the Sig Sauer P320 - M17 went on to win the contest, the G19X was a good-looking gun with Glock’s excellent lineage.
