The Glock 36 is a pistol manufactured by Glock. It features an ultra-compact frame and is chambered for the .45 ACP round; the barrel, slide, and magazine, are unique to the model. It is a very popular self-defense and carry pistol in the United States, where the caliber is widely favored. It has a 6-round capacity, and is the first Glock to be manufactured with a single-stack (as opposed to double-stack) magazine.
Although the Glock 36 has a small frame, people with large hands have less difficulty with this model than the other subcompact Glocks (26, 27, 33), as the magazine is designed with a built-in extension which increases the effective grip length. Unlike other subcompact models other than the Glock 30, the Glock 36 accommodates the little finger on the grip.
Prices for this gun range from $519-$709 USD.
