The Glock G36 is a slimline .45 ACP single-stack pistol designed for concealed carry. It offers the proven reliability of the Glock platform in a more compact, comfortable-to-carry package. Since we added it to our inventory in late 2025, it has consistently been a top seller for customers seeking a powerful, low-profile carry option. Our staff notes its coating is surprisingly durable, holding up perfectly through multiple cleaning cycles.

Your Questions Answered
Is the G36 considered a ‘slimline’ Glock?
Yes. The G36 uses a single-stack magazine, resulting in a frame approximately 0.2 inches slimmer in width than Glock’s double-stack .45 models like the G21. This places it in the ‘slimline’ category for improved concealment.
What generation is the G36?
The Glock G36 is a unique model that does not directly align with the standard Gen3, Gen4, or Gen5 numbering. It incorporates features from earlier generations, most notably the Gen3-style frame with finger grooves and the original accessory rail. Its internal design is specific to the .45 ACP single-stack platform.
What holsters fit the G36?
The G36 requires holsters specifically molded for its single-stack .45 frame. It will not fit holsters for the double-stack G30 or G21. Many holster makers list the G36 separately. We recommend checking compatibility with the manufacturer, as the slide and trigger guard dimensions are unique to this model.
