This build combines the Glock G45 Gen5 full-size grip frame and accessory rail with a Shadow Systems SS9C compact-length slide. The slide includes front and rear cocking serrations, top and side window cuts, and an optic cut with the plate removed, offering a modern feature set on a proven Glock platform.
The Shadow Systems 9x19 barrel is finished in a gold tone and is non-threaded. The SS logo is visible through the slide window cuts, and the assembly provides an approximate 4.02 in barrel length consistent with the compact slide profile.
Controls and handling are Gen5-forward, with ambidextrous slide-stop levers on the frame. The pistol is striker-fired and locked-breech with a trigger safety. It is upgraded with an Apex Trigger-style flat-faced unit and a Taran Tactical Magwell that speeds reloads with a flared aluminum funnel.
Sight picture is straightforward and durable, featuring dovetailed elevated iron sights with a green-dot front and a black square-notch rear. The SS9C slide is marked "SS9C SHADOW SYSTEMS PLANO, TEXAS," while the frame bears "MADE IN AUSTRIA" with Glock, Inc., Smyrna, GA import marking and U.S. Pat. 8,156,677.
The G45 frame provides 17+1 capacity in 9mm Luger, and this example includes one 17-round Glock factory magazine. The black polymer frame and black slide complement the gold-tone barrel for a distinctive, purpose-built configuration.
