About This Firearm
The Glock G49 Gen5 MOS is a crossover striker-fired 9mm built for concealed and duty carry. It puts a 4.49-inch long slide on the compact 5.04-inch grip, reversing the G45's pairing of a compact slide with a full-size frame.
The slide is in MOS configuration, so a reflex sight needs the adapter plate cut for its footprint. The Gen5 frame takes beavertail backstraps, the slide stop lever works from either side and the magazine catch reverses. Glock fits the pistol with a 15-round magazine and no manual safety, and three automatic mechanical safeties sit inside the fire control.
If you're cross-shopping, the Glock G19 Gen5 MOS uses the same magazine and the same grip height with a shorter 4.02-inch barrel, coming out 0.95 oz lighter at 23.81 oz and 0.48 inches shorter overall. The Glock G45 Gen5 MOS goes the other way with a full-size 5.47-inch grip and 17 rounds at 24.52 oz on the shorter slide.

Strengths & Limitations
- The compact grip takes the same magazines as the compact Gen5 pistols, so pouches and spares carry over.
- Three magazines, a speed loader and a backstrap set come in the box, which is the USA Gen5 package.
- The slide stop works from either side and the magazine catch reverses for a left-handed shooter.
- Reversing the magazine catch means field stripping the pistol, and New Style magazines are required once it sits on the left.
- Each optic footprint needs its own MOS plate, so the dot and the plate are two separate orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it weigh and measure?
24.76 oz with an empty magazine and 7.76 inches overall, with a 26 N trigger pull.
What does the 26 N trigger figure mean?
Glock gives trigger pull in newtons, and 26 N is the 5.8 lbs the spec table shows. It is the standard Gen5 pull.
How does the MOS plate system compare with Gen6 mounting?
A plate per footprint sits between the optic and the slide here. Glock's Gen6 slides instead take the optic screws directly, with three plates supplied for the footprints that need one.
