Why the Glock 45 Gen 6 MOS Stands Out
Having run thousands of rounds through various Glock models on our Spring, TX test range, the G45 Gen 6 MOS consistently outperforms competitors in three areas:
- Hybrid Frame – Full-size grip with compact slide length (what we call “Goldilocks sizing” in the shop)
- MOS Ready – Direct optic mounting without aftermarket milling
- Gen 6 Upgrades – Improved trigger and ambidextrous controls
