Guns aren't RPG items with stats. If it shoots better for you than a G19 or G17, then it's the better gun for you. Simple as.

Longer slide shoots better.

Then the G45 not for you

I don't know who it's for

Glock is an inherently flawed pistol design. Grip angle

I’m able to get a better grip on the 45 than the 19, it lets me apply more pressure at the bottom of the frame than a 19 length gun would. Also, having to use a 17 mag with a sleeve would be retarded on a duty gun. Also since all the guns are using the same recoil assembly there’s no point in getting a 17 since everyone living in the present is using a dot and sight radius doesn’t matter.

Short slide and full size grip = sexy

Iron sights aren't the meta any more. Everyone has swapped to red dots, so the loss of sight radius is largely irrelevant. The barrel length difference between a 17 and a 19 is entirely negligible so you're not really giving up anything by losing the tiny amount of barrel length. Then you're left with the choice between a 17 length grip or a 19 length grip. If it's an open carry or duty style of gun, there's very little reason to select the slightly smaller grip that doesn't give you any benefit, but does leave you with two less rounds in a flush fit magazine, so why not go with a 17 length grip?
Add it all together and you get a 19x or 45.

I find a negligible difference in my practical accuracy from a Glock 26 to a 19 all the way up to a 17. I dont have any trigger time on a long slide variant, and that may speak more to my lack of skill as a shooter than anything inherent to the particular model of gun.

Skill issue.

Back when 80% glock clones, aftermarket glock clones, and 3d printed glock clones were all the rage Glock noticed a ton of people put a Glock 19 slide on a Glock 17 Frame (basically a Glock 17 that weighs a bit less, very common for the dudes with their fake Glocks) and Glock also noticed some people put a Glock 17 slide on a Glock 19 frame (for the people that want a frame that is easy to conceal but the full velocity of the duty slide/barrel and a longer sight radius, for a weird minority of velocity addicts/nerds like me, basically this composition is obscure due to the fact that everyone is using dots now, so the longer sight radius is pointless). Just think of the G45 as the lightweight duty gun for the person who might one day need G17 capacity but wants less weight on his belt as he carries the gun for a long period of time.

90% of Glock models are completely fucking pointless. Just random grip and slide lengths, they think that's innovative. If you want a good cheap handgun with good options get an M&P.

(perhaps, but) No other semiauto pistol design has the limp wrist problem.
In other words back to my post (You) replied to: Glock is an inherently flawed design. User needs to 'adapt' to its grip angle, that doesn't occur with other semiauto handguns.
