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.
