The Glock G41 Gen 4 is a full-size competition-oriented pistol chambered in .45 ACP. The 5.31-inch barrel is the defining feature. It's longer than the standard G21 barrel and gives the G41 better velocity and a longer sight radius, which matters when you're shooting for score.

Features
At 26.81 oz unloaded the G41 is light for a .45 ACP pistol with this barrel length. The 13+1 capacity is on the high end for a .45 ACP, and the three included magazines mean you can run a full stage without scrounging for gear. The Gen 4 backstrap system adjusts grip circumference with swappable inserts, which makes a difference on a full-size grip that not every hand size reaches comfortably. The right-hand configuration has standard Glock controls throughout.
The longer barrel adds muzzle velocity compared to compact .45 ACP pistols, and the extended sight radius gives you a more precise sight picture at distance. Those two factors together make the G41 noticeably easier to shoot accurately than a G30 or G36.
Use Cases
The G41 is primarily a competition and range gun. The full-size frame and 5.31-inch barrel aren't ideal for everyday concealed carry, but on the range or in a competition holster the length pays off in accuracy. Home defense is a workable secondary role. The 13+1 capacity and .45 ACP stopping power are both assets, and the longer barrel is less of a liability in a home environment where the gun stays staged rather than carried.
