The Glock 39, released in 2005, follows the Glock 37's 2003 release. It is mainly available in the U.S. and uses a unique .45 GAP (Glock Automatic Pistol) ammunition. The .45 GAP ammunition was designed by Glock, it has the same performance as the .45 ACP ammunition but is short enough to fit into smaller framed pistols. The Glock 39 shares the same frame size as the sub-compacts Glock 26 (9 mm Luger Parabellum) and Glock 27 (.40 S&W). It is the second lightest of all Glock pistols (empty) making it ideal for a self-defense concealed weapons carrier.
It was designed for law enforcement and self-defense use where its large caliber offers superior single shot stopping power, while retaining the smaller framed pistols.
