The Glock 41 Gen4 is a full-size .45 ACP pistol built on Glock's standard polymer frame with a 5.31-inch barrel. The longer barrel improves sight radius and delivers more velocity from the .45 ACP cartridge compared to compact variants. Three 13-round magazines are included, which is unusually high capacity for a .45 ACP platform.

The G41 generates strong feedback around reliability. Users report that it functions consistently across different ammunition types including hollow points, which matters for both competition and defensive use.

Accuracy is frequently mentioned as a strength. The 5.31-inch barrel provides an extended sight radius that many shooters find helps with precision at distance, and the longer barrel contributes to better ballistics from the .45 ACP round.

Ergonomics divide opinion along hand-size lines. Most shooters find the grip comfortable and the Gen4 backstrap system helps dial in fit. Users with smaller hands sometimes find the grip width challenging, particularly for extended sessions.

The 13+1 capacity stands out relative to other full-size .45 ACP pistols, and most owners consider it a meaningful advantage for range work and personal defense.

Weight and size come up for carry use. The G41 is sized for competition or duty rather than concealed carry, and discussions reflect that. Most owners use it at the range or in competition rather than as an EDC gun.

Trigger feel follows the usual Glock pattern: some shooters find it consistent and sufficient, others prefer a lighter or crisper feel and look to aftermarket options. The platform's broad aftermarket support is regularly cited as an advantage.

The Glock 41 Gen 4 in .45 ACP is one of those guns that just feels right every time I pick it up. The first time I took it to the range, I was blown away by how manageable the .45 ACP recoil was, the 5.3-inch barrel and long slide really help keep the shots smooth and on target. I remember the first session with it, loading up the 13-round mag and ripping through the first magazine, it was a blast and surprisingly accurate for such a large frame. The grip with those Gen 4 finger grooves feels secure and natural in the hand, which makes a huge difference when you're firing .45 rounds. I take it with me around the farm, especially when I’m worried about running into coyotes or other critters. It’s definitely not an EDC, but that .45 ACP power gives me peace of mind if something more than a 9mm is needed. And I gotta say, the polygonal rifling, 8 sides compared to the standard 6, tightens up the grouping like nothing else. It’s my favorite for target shooting at longer ranges; I can pop the cap off a 20 oz bottle at 20 yards like it’s nothing. If you’re a .45 ACP fan and want something you can rely on, the Glock 41 is an absolute must-have. Solid, accurate, and one of the most fun pistols I own.

The size and weight of the Glock 41 make its .45 ACP recoil notably smooth, and I find it easy to keep the sights where I want them. During my first session at 15 yards, eight hits out of ten stayed in the black, a result that pleased me. This is undeniably a large, full-size pistol, while the double-stack magazines provide a 13-round capacity. Cases made from aluminum, steel, and brass all ran through mine without trouble, including no failures to eject. The soft shooting character would mean less without dependable operation, but this pistol combines both qualities. Its manageable movement, straightforward target control, and ability to digest those different case materials have made shooting it consistently satisfying.
