The GLOCK 37 is a pistol manufactured by GLOCK. It is a GLOCK 17 modified to fire the .45 GAP ammunition. It uses a different slide, frame, barrel and magazine but is otherwise similar in looks to the GLOCK 17 but has a wider slide. It has a 10 rounds magazine capacity.
The .45 GAP ammunition was designed by GLOCK, it has the same performance as the .45 ACP ammuntion but is short enough to fit into smaller framed pistols.
The GLOCK 37 first appeared in 2003, it is mainly available in the U.S.
It was designed for law enforcement and self defense use where its large caliber offers superior single shot stopping power, while avoiding the large frame size problems of the GLOCK 21.
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.
