GLOCK G45C Gen5 V TALO 9mm 10+1 4.02″ Compensated Crossover Pistol

The GLOCK G45C Gen5 V TALO 9mm takes the versatile G45 crossover concept and adds GLOCK’s factory-integrated compensation system for shooters looking for improved muzzle control and flatter shooting characteristics.

Chambered in 9mm Luger, this G45C combines a 4.02-inch compensated barrel and compact-length slide with a full-size Gen5 frame. This TALO configuration includes three 10-round magazines, providing a 10+1 capacity when loaded with an additional round in the chamber.

The result is a distinctive crossover handgun that combines full-size grip ergonomics, compact upper dimensions and factory recoil management.

Factory Compensated G45C Design

The defining feature of the GLOCK G45C is its factory compensation system.

The “C” designation stands for compensated, identifying GLOCK models featuring a ported barrel paired with corresponding openings in the slide.

During firing, expanding gases are directed upward through these ports. This helps counteract the muzzle’s natural tendency to rise under recoil.

Potential benefits of the compensated design include:

• Reduced muzzle rise
• Flatter shooting characteristics
• Faster sight recovery between shots
• Improved control during rapid strings of fire
• Factory-integrated compensation
• No large external compensator extending beyond the slide

This makes the G45C particularly appealing for shooters who spend significant time training or shooting at the range.

GLOCK G45 Crossover Platform

The GLOCK 45 combines characteristics of GLOCK’s full-size and compact pistol platforms.

Instead of using a full-size slide and frame, the G45 pairs a full-size grip with a compact-length slide and barrel.

The larger frame provides substantial gripping surface, while the shorter upper assembly helps keep the pistol maneuverable and balanced.

The G45C Gen5 V is well suited for:

• Range shooting
• Firearms training
• Home and personal defense
• Recreational shooting
• Duty and professional applications
• General-purpose handgun ownership
• Includes Three 10-Round Magazines

This TALO G45C configuration includes three 10-round magazines.

Each magazine provides a 10+1 capacity when the pistol is loaded with an additional round in the chamber.

The reduced-capacity configuration makes this G45C an option for customers in jurisdictions with magazine-capacity restrictions while retaining the full-size grip dimensions and compensated upper assembly of the G45 platform.

Always verify current state and local firearm and magazine regulations before purchasing.

4.02-Inch Compensated Barrel

The G45C features a 4.02-inch ported barrel, maintaining the compact-length dimensions associated with the G45 crossover platform.

Factory ports in the barrel align with openings in the slide, allowing expanding gases to vent upward during firing.

Unlike an externally mounted compensator, the system is incorporated directly into the factory barrel and slide assembly, allowing the handgun to retain the practical overall dimensions of the G45.

Full-Size Gen5 Frame

The G45C uses a full-size Gen5 polymer frame, providing plenty of room for a secure firing and support-hand grip.

The Gen5 grip design eliminates the traditional finger grooves found on earlier generations, creating a more universal grip profile.

For shooters who prefer the feel and control of a full-size grip but don’t necessarily want a longer full-size slide, the G45 crossover design provides an appealing solution.

Compact-Length Slide

While the grip is full-size, the G45C uses a compact-length slide.

This combination creates the crossover configuration that defines the G45 platform.

The shorter upper assembly helps keep the pistol maneuverable, while the full-size grip provides substantial surface area for handgun control.

Adding factory compensation further enhances the performance-oriented nature of this configuration.

TALO Configuration

This G45C is offered as a TALO-distributed configuration, distinguishing it from typical catalog variations.

TALO works with major firearm manufacturers and distributors to offer specialized configurations and limited-production models.

For buyers specifically searching for a TALO GLOCK G45C Gen5, this package combines specialized distribution, factory compensation and three included 10-round magazines.

GLOCK Safe Action® System

The G45C Gen5 V incorporates GLOCK’s established Safe Action® System, which uses three independently operating passive mechanical safeties.

These safeties disengage sequentially when the trigger is intentionally pulled and automatically re-engage when the trigger is released.

The system provides the straightforward and consistent manual of arms associated with GLOCK pistols.

Crossover Handling With Factory Compensation

The GLOCK G45C Gen5 V TALO combines some of the most desirable characteristics of GLOCK’s full-size and compact handgun platforms.

Its full-size grip provides comfortable control, while the 4.02-inch compensated barrel and compact-length slide keep the upper assembly manageable and help reduce muzzle rise.

Combined with three included 10-round magazines, this TALO configuration provides a distinctive option for shooters who want a compensated G45 with reduced-capacity magazines.

For buyers searching for a GLOCK G45C Gen5 TALO 9mm with 10+1 capacity, this configuration offers an excellent combination of crossover ergonomics, factory compensation and practical magazine capacity.
