Your Questions Answered
Is the G36 a good choice for a first-time .45 ACP carrier?
Yes, its single-stack design and subcompact size make it one of the most manageable .45 ACP pistols for concealed carry, especially for those sensitive to recoil or bulkier frames.
What holsters fit the Glock G36?
The G36 uses a unique slimline frame. It is not compatible with holsters for double-stack .45 Glocks like the G30. You will need a holster specifically designed for the G36 or Glock’s single-stack .45 platform.
Does it come with standard Glock sights?
Yes, this model ships from the factory with Glock’s standard polymer U-dot (white bucket/rear notch) sight system.
