GLOCK 36

|
The GLOCK 36 is a pistol manufactured by GLOCK. It features an ultra-compact frame and is chambered for the .45 ACP round; the barrel, slide, and magazine, are unique to the model. It is a very popular self-defense and carry pistol in the United States, where the caliber is widely favored. It has a 6-round capacity, and is the first GLOCK to be manufactured with a single-stack (as opposed to double-stack) magazine.
Although the GLOCK 36 has a small frame, people with large hands have less difficulty with this model than the other subcompact GLOCKs (26, 27, 33), as the magazine is designed with a built-in extension which increases the effective grip length.
Like most GLOCK guns, the name is often referred to as a "Glock" and not as "GLOCK". According to GLOCK—the company that manufactures the gun—this is incorrect. GLOCK refers to all its guns with all uppercase letters.
