Glock 36 Gen3 Slimline .45 ACP Slimline Subcompact Pistol, 3.78 in Barrel, 6+1 Capacity, Matte Black, Austrian Made, 2 Magazines
This Glock 36 Gen3 Slimline is a compact, single-stack .45 ACP designed for a thinner profile than the Glock 30 family. It features a 3.78-inch barrel, a 6+1 capacity, and the familiar Gen3 frame with molded finger grooves. Made in Austria and imported by Glock, Inc., Smyrna, GA, this example includes two factory 6-round magazines.
The slide wears a matte black finish with rear-only vertical serrations, and the pistol uses fixed polymer sights with a white dot front and U-notch rear. The slim .45 ACP slide of the G36 later formed the basis of the Glock 30S hybrid model, adding extra context for those who track Glock design lineage.

What’s Included
- Glock 36 Gen3 Slimline .45 ACP pistol
- Two 6-round factory Glock G36 single-stack magazines with 'GLOCK' over 'AUSTRIA' molded into the magazine bodies (baseplates unmarked)
The G36 is built around Glock's striker-fired action in a slimline subcompact package that maintains .45 ACP performance in a slim, carry-friendly format. Its single-stack design results in a narrower grip and slide, with a standard 6+1 capacity.
The Gen3 polymer frame is black with molded finger grooves and a pebble-texture pattern for consistent purchase. Controls include a left-side magazine release. Sights are the factory fixed polymer set: a white dot front paired with a U-notch rear for a clear, familiar sight picture.
The 3.78-inch steel barrel and matte black slide balance carry comfort with practical accuracy. Slide features are kept streamlined with rear-only vertical serrations for dependable manipulation.
Manufactured in Austria, this pistol bears the appropriate markings: 'AUSTRIA' on the slide and 'MADE IN AUSTRIA GLOCK, INC., SMYRNA, GA.' indicating import by Glock, Inc. The G36's thin slide later informed the Glock 30S configuration, underscoring this model's role in the brand's .45 ACP lineup.
