Glock 41 GEN 4 – .45

Description

Product Overview

The Glock 41 GEN 4 is a purpose-built, full-size pistol chambered in the iconic .45 AUTO caliber. Engineered for shooters who demand precision and control, this model represents a specialized evolution within the GLOCK lineup. It is designed with a longer 5.31-inch (135mm) barrel and slide, which fundamentally alters its handling characteristics compared to standard .45 caliber service pistols. The GLOCK 41 GEN 4 is ideally suited for competitive shooters in divisions like USPSA Limited or IDPA ESP, tactical training enthusiasts, and discerning individuals seeking a highly controllable and accurate duty or home-defense platform. Its primary uses center around scenarios where shot placement and rapid follow-up shots are paramount.

Key Features

• Optimized .45 ACP Platform: The extended 135mm barrel and slide are not merely for aesthetics; they redistribute weight forward to mitigate muzzle rise and improve overall balance, making the potent .45 ACP round exceptionally manageable.
• Enhanced Control with Gen4 Technology: Features the GLOCK Gen4 dual-recoil spring assembly, which reduces felt recoil and increases component life. The frame incorporates interchangeable backstraps (with beavertail option) to fit a wide variety of hand sizes.
• Superior Sight Radius: The increased distance between the front and rear sights (sight radius) provides a significant mechanical advantage for precision, allowing for more accurate shot alignment, a critical factor in competition and defensive shooting.
• Robust Build & Reliable Operation: Maintains GLOCK’s legendary reputation for reliability with the proven Safe Action system. The nitrided steel slide and durable polymer frame offer a perfect balance of strength and a manageable unloaded weight of 27 ounces (765g).
• Practical/Tactical Design: Engineered as a “Practical/Tactical” model, it bridges the gap between duty reliability and competition-ready features out of the box, including a standard accessory rail for lights or lasers.
• High-Capacity .45 ACP: Utilizes GLOCK’s large-frame magazines, offering a standard capacity of 13 rounds, providing substantial firepower in a proven, reliable feeding system.

Performance & Applications

For the competitive shooter, the GLOCK 41 GEN 4 is a ready-made platform for action pistol sports. The extended sight radius and balanced weight distribution facilitate faster, more accurate transitions between targets and allow for quicker recovery for follow-up shots. The reduced perceived recoil impulse means less shooter fatigue during long matches, directly translating to better scores.

In a tactical training or duty context, the pistol’s design excels. The longer barrel can contribute to a slight increase in velocity, and the enhanced control directly supports faster, more accurate strings of fire—a crucial skill in defensive scenarios. The reliable .45 ACP cartridge, combined with the pistol’s 13+1 capacity and proven Gen4 ergonomics, makes it a serious consideration for an authorized duty weapon or a primary home defense firearm where its size is manageable.

Finally, as a dedicated training tool for mastering the .45 ACP, the GLOCK 41 is exceptional. Its forgiving nature compared to shorter-barreled .45s helps shooters build proper fundamentals with less anticipation of recoil, skills that are transferable to any other handgun.
