This G36 is the first Slimline Glock design and remains Glock's only single-stack .45 ACP model. It delivers a 6+1 capacity in a subcompact format with a 3.78 in barrel, balancing .45 Auto performance with a thinner grip profile. The Gen 3 frame includes finger grooves, a single-sided slide stop, and a left-side magazine release.
The steel barrel uses Glock's octagonal polygonal rifling for .45 Auto, with a right-hand 1:15.75 twist. Rear-only slide serrations provide consistent traction for charging and press checks.
Controls and sighting are straightforward: the Safe Action system, an approximate 6.3 lb trigger weight, and fixed sights with white inserts that present a three-dot picture. This example features the post-2013 Glock accessory rail with a single slot.
Manufactured in Austria, it carries the "MADE IN AUSTRIA • GLOCK, INC., SMYRNA, GA" markings. Matching serials are present on the slide and frame. The G36 uses dedicated single-stack magazines specific to this model and not cross-compatible with other Glock .45 ACP double-stack magazines.
