Glock has long been known for its simple, reliable designs, and the new Glock 49 MOS continues this tradition while offering a unique and highly requested configuration. By combining the compact slide of a Glock 19 with the full-size frame of a Glock 17, this crossover pistol provides shooters with the perfect blend of concealability and shootability. It’s a versatile handgun that truly offers the best of both worlds.

↔️ The Crossover Design Advantage
The key feature of the Glock 49 is its ‘crossover’ design. It features a shorter slide and barrel, similar to the iconic Glock 19, which reduces weight and makes it easier to carry concealed. However, this is paired with a full-size grip, like that of a Glock 17, which allows for a full, comfortable purchase on the weapon and a higher magazine capacity. This combination results in a pistol that is easy to control and shoot accurately, while still being practical for everyday carry.
🎯 MOS for Ultimate Modularity
The MOS (Modular Optic System) configuration means the Glock 49 comes ready for a red dot sight right out of the box. The slide is factory-milled and includes a set of adapter plates to fit a wide range of popular pistol optics. This allows users to easily add a red dot for faster target acquisition without the need for expensive custom gunsmithing. The MOS system has become a standard for those who want a modern, flexible shooting platform.
⚙️ Proven Gen5 Features
As a member of Glock’s Gen5 family, the G49 includes all the latest enhancements. This includes the improved Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) for enhanced accuracy, a durable nDLC finish on the slide, and an ambidextrous slide stop lever. The frame also lacks the finger grooves of previous generations, providing a more universally comfortable grip for a wider range of hand sizes.
