● The Glock 36 Forty Five Caliber Subcompact

Glock has classified the G36 as a subcompact pistol. 
The G36 has a capacity of 6+1 or 7+1 (when a +1 grip extender is used).  For self defense purposes it wise to have at least one extra magazine on you which gives you 14 rounds. 

This handgun packs the 45 caliber punch and it is Glock's only single stack magazine firearm. The G36 is also the thinnest of all Glock pistols.  The Glock 36 excels in concealed carry mode due to it's thin form factor.  The G36 is also lighter than the G30SF which makes it much more suitable for IWB or pocket carry than the G30SF. 

The Glock 36 is considered a Gen 3 product but it comes standard with the two stage mainspring which is typical of Gen 4 Glocks.  Why has Glock not produced a Gen 4 Glock 36?--Because they would be hard pressed to improve this perfect conceal carry 45 caliber pistol.

The standard 6 round magazine is shown seated in the gun. The extended 7 round magazine is shown to the right.

The G36 is my personal favorite for CC purposes.  It has a capacity which is similar to a 1911 but it offers Glock reliability and super easy maintenance.
