Description
Engineering Snapshot
Overall length is 186 mm, height 138 mm, and slide width a slim 30 mm—identical to a G17. A 114 mm cold-hammer-forged barrel uses right-hand, hexagonal rifling (250 mm twist) to stabilise 185–230 gr projectiles. Sight radius measures 165 mm, supporting precise shot placement. Unloaded weight without magazine is 625 g; an empty mag adds 88 g, and a full 10-round mag brings total weight to roughly 825 g. The crisp Safe Action trigger breaks at 2.5 kg with 12.5 mm of travel.
Field Use-Cases
-
Law-Enforcement Duty – .45-class terminal performance in a grip profile that fits more officers’ hands and uses existing G17 holsters.
-
Personal & Home Defence – Manageable recoil, ample magazine capacity and Glock’s legendary reliability under stress.
-
Training & Crossover – Shares manuals-of-arms and most internal parts with 9 mm/ .40 Glock models, reducing armoury complexity.
-
Back-Country Sidearm – Compact frame, big-bore punch and weather-proof construction make the G37 a solid companion off the beaten path.
Bottom Line: Big-Bore Punch, Familiar Feel
For shooters who want .45-calibre confidence without the bulk of traditional large-frame pistols, the Glock 37 delivers—combining robust .45 GAP stopping power with the controllability, parts commonality and low-maintenance simplicity that have made Glock a global standard.
