Glock G41 G4 .45ACP Double Action Pistol PG-41301-03 – 45acp

Description

Product Overview

The Glock G41 Gen4 .45 ACP pistol (model PG-41301-03) represents a specialized evolution in the renowned Glock lineup, engineered for the shooter who demands superior control and extended sight radius in a full-size .45 caliber platform. This is not a standard service pistol; it is a practical-tactical model designed to bridge the gap between duty reliability and competitive performance. Primarily intended for experienced shooters, law enforcement officers seeking a duty advantage, and competitors in practical shooting sports, the G41 Gen4 leverages a longer slide and barrel to enhance shootability. Its core design focuses on improving weight distribution, mitigating recoil, and delivering exceptional accuracy for both defensive scenarios and precision target shooting.

Key Features

• Optimized Practical-Tactical Design: The G41 features a slide width identical to the competition-focused G34, mounted on the proven, full-size G21 Gen4 frame. This unique combination creates a balanced pistol that is 1.5 ounces lighter than the standard G21 Gen4, aiding in quicker handling and reducing fatigue.
• Enhanced Control and Reduced Recoil: The extended 5.31-inch barrel and corresponding slide length are engineered to lower the bore axis slightly and improve weight distribution forward. This configuration effectively reduces muzzle flip and perceived recoil, allowing for faster, more controlled follow-up shots with the potent .45 ACP cartridge.
• Extended Sight Radius for Precision: The increased distance between the front and rear sights provides a longer sight radius. This offers a clearer sight picture and minimizes aiming error, translating directly to improved accuracy whether on the range or in a tactical training environment.
• Gen4 Enhanced Ergonomics: Includes the Gen4 modular backstrap system (MBS), allowing you to customize grip circumference to fit your hand. It also features the Gen4 rough-textured frame (RTF) for a secure grip in all conditions and the reversible magazine catch for left or right-handed operation.
• High-Capacity .45 ACP Platform: Chambered in the classic .45 Auto, it delivers formidable stopping power while maintaining a generous standard capacity of 13+1 rounds. This offers a significant ammunition advantage in a caliber known for its larger, heavier projectiles.
• Proven Safe Action System: Utilizes Glock’s trusted, hammer-forged double-action-only Safe Action system. This consistent trigger pull from first to last shot, combined with triple automatic safeties, provides a simple, reliable, and safe operation under pressure.

Performance & Applications

The Glock G41 Gen4 excels in specific roles where its design advantages are fully realized. Its performance characteristics make it a top choice for dedicated applications beyond everyday concealed carry.

Practical/Defensive Shooting Competition: For shooters participating in USPSA Limited Division or similar practical sports, the G41 is a formidable tool. The longer sight radius aids in engaging distant or small targets, while the reduced muzzle flip from the .45 ACP recoil allows for faster splits between shots. The high capacity for its caliber is a direct competitive benefit, and the reliable Gen4 platform ensures it runs flawlessly through demanding stages.

Duty or Home Defense Use: For authorized users such as law enforcement or qualified civilians seeking a home defense firearm, the G41 offers distinct advantages. The enhanced controllability means the shooter can manage the powerful .45 ACP rounds more effectively, especially in high-stress situations where shot placement is critical. The improved accuracy from the extended sight radius is a tangible benefit for any defensive scenario, and the proven reliability of the Glock system provides paramount confidence.

Advanced Firearms Training & Skill Development: The pistol’s inherent shootability makes it an excellent platform for dedicated training. Shooters looking to master the .45 ACP cartridge will find the G41’s flatter shooting characteristics help in building proper recoil management fundamentals. It serves as a superb transition for those proficient with 9mm who wish to train with a larger caliber without the excessive snap often associated with shorter-barreled .45 pistols.
