- This is a tabletop review of the GLOCK 36 SUBCOMPACT .45 ACP. In this video we will discuss the history and development of the firearm, and provide side by side comparison with other popular models to establish scale and help visualize what it would be like carry this based on familiar platforms. We will outline all of the features, and how these features may or may not be important to you based on your personal needs. Range performance will also be discussed along with different tested methods of carry and how comfortable it is to carry on a regular basis. Last, we will provide an overall opinion of how this firearm stacks up for concealed carry purposes. Thanks for watching!
This has been by off duty/ concealed carry gun for the past five years. I used to roll with the GLOCK 27 when I my duty gun was the GLOCK 22 but when I started carrying my GLOCK 21 on duty I switched to try GLOCK 36 and absolutely love it. 👊🏾
G27 was my backup as well. I somehow missed the G36 until recently, glad I have it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for protecting us. Wouldn’t you rather have something flatter shooting with more rounds, in case you have to deal with shopping mall distances? I’ve always though of 45 as a home defense solution where distances are short, stopping power is important, and the victim could be judged harshly later for hollow points / multiple rounds.
Sold my old 36 a long time ago, and bought a 30. Was my first CCW gun, both are extremely accurate, the 36 being a little snappier, yet easier to conceal. My 30 is a non SF frame and is a chunky bastard.
Kinda wish I still had it.
Glock .45s are just do much damn fun to shoot, legendary.
Love the 30 but yeah it's a chunk for sure but what a sweet shooter though so I'll deal with CCW it in winter months mostly.
I went with the 30S...best of both worlds.
I'm sorry but No Gun will ever replace the Classic Colt 1911 and this platform will be here long after we are gone! As far as a good .45 ACP, IMO Glock has hit a Home Run with this Single Stack Model. I had one for many years and I thought it was a great shooting Gun but I decided to stick with the Glock 9mm Platform and I carried a G19 as my duty weapon for over 10 years, up to my Retirement! I finally sold my G36 because I just no longer needed the .45 to fit my needs as a self defense weapon or a carry gun. I also decided to sell all my double stack hand guns and I now have the G43 as my EDC and I also sometime carry my G48! but for those of you who want a Great .45, You can't go wrong with the G36!
Agreed! I'm not talking about 1911s as a whole, only for my carry purposes. 1911s are fantastic weapons and I love all of mine. Thanks for watching!
1) Never is a long time. 2) 1911s have already been replaced en masse among professional and civilian firearms users. Their share of these markets will never be the same. Carry one if you want, but it's factually incorrect that the 1911 will never be replaced when it's largely already happened. Sorry
Colt isn't even the standard for quality 1911s anymore.
@@atlas42185 when you have a 113 year old steel and wood framed weapon still competing with modern day polymere weapons, that hardly screams replaced....example the p-38 has been replaced, people arent digging out their 9mm p38s and comparing them to glocks,sigs,or m&ps... people arent breaking out there brownings or czs for compairisons neither.......but some how mr 1911 always seems comes to the forefront . Especially with higher end brands like kimber, rock island and the likes....
From my research( a quick google 😂😂) it says the seals use a socom tac-45 , the green berets and delta use the 1911....theres are reason 1911s just continue to hang around, while lugers,p38s,and brownings slipped into collector status
Replacement in 1985 in favor of the M9 and that with the M17/18
G30s, Hackathorn night sights, two extra mags. Small, reliable, potent.
You should check out the 30s it’s a regular 30 frame with the 36 slide it’s an awesome gun kind of best of both 30 and the 36
Nah. 36 is better.
@@TripleWhopperWithCheese And how is it better?
@@JayzBeerzway less chunky , u only get a xtra three rounds in the 30
My dad bought a 36 when it first came out. Didn’t shoot it much and ended up giving it to me for my 22nd birthday a few years ago. I’ve shot it here and there and just use it as a range gun. It changed my mind on Glock, before I thought they were overrated but now not so much. Got a g43 as my carry gun now.
I just bought a 36. Love Glock and was wanting a single stack .45. Chose this over XDS and Shield 45. .45 acp is my favorite handgun caliber also.
g-36 has always been one of my favorites.
I’ve had my eye on the 36 for a while now. I have to Glock 30 and I agree 100% with everything you said. It’s comfortable, soft shooting, and accurate. I put the Trijicon HD XR’s sights on mine, wow what a difference. It’s just a little thick, so it stays in a Sticky in the truck and can be carried if needed. I just held the 36 at the shop and it’s awesome! Definitely a future EDC…
Agree completely. The 36 is what I carry the most. Was very surprised with the accuracy and controllable ease in shooting. Still like the 23, and 43 too.
I am In love with my glock36, I have the Pearce, Cain, and hyve base pads as well as upgrades on almost everything except the trigger. I absolutely love it, and the versatility with the different base pads.
This new glock 36 gen 3 has a light rail on it as you could see the older model did not have one also the Los Angeles SWAT team carries this gun as a backup gun also as an off-duty gun it's just fantastic very lightweight six round magazine and one in the chamber you have seven rounds just like the old 1911 that the US army use for about 70 years check it out it's well worth the money and half the price of a 1911
🇦🇹🇺🇸💯👍
Is it this gun or the 30S that the swat team carries for backup? How’d you find this out? Thanks
I had a 3.3 in barrel all steel and it really beat up your hand, so good to hear that you say this is a good easy tool to operate.
The model 36 and the 30 both have their good points. But the love child of these two, the model 30S has the best of both!
I love the 36 I’ll never get rid of it as the chief of police gave it to me, it’s a gen 2 no rail, and I have a 30s sf in my backpack the slide is identical to the 36. On hikes I take my Glock 21 with plus P 230 grain HP
Great carry option. Thanks👍!
IMO the M&P shield .45 is what this should be. If a G30 is too big I'll grab the Shield .45
Love my 30S. Best of both worlds!
Terrific video bud! Lots of info, thank you. Just picked one up and looking forward to shooting it. Btw there is a company for you and everyone called CAIN that makes a +3 EXTENSION for the clip making it a 9 capacity which I know is one of the big draw back of this gun. I own a Glock in every caliber up to 50 and love all of them. They are very reliable and easy to service and upgrade.
If I was still a 45acp guy this would be the best option to carry. I used to carry one for years but capacity was a concern over time.
I love the .45ACP caliber, it is the caliber which I used when I was a soldier in the Brazilian Marine Corps, I started shooting with a 9mm Luger when I was about 8 or 9 year old.
I have always been a 1911 guy I love everything about them the way they look and shoot to hold a quality 1911 in your hand like your Kimber is like no other hand gun. But over the past 15 years Glock has really grown on me with it's reliability and double stack capacity magazine is some real fire power and they come in all the popular calibers like 9mm I really like the 9mm and with the 1911 it just doesn't seem right to have one chambered in 9mm but I like the round so much I have a few 1911 9mm I just don't tell a lot of people LoL.
When I leave out the house I always grab one of my trusty Glocks. The 1911 will always be my favorite hand gun but it seems like I collect them more than I shoot them now a days.
"muh double stack" -- guess you haven't heard of Para-Ordnance. They've been making double stack 1911s since 1993. And for similar sizes, the Paras actually hold MORE rounds of .45 ACP than the Glocks. The model 30 tops out at 11 rounds, LOL. The highest capacity Glock 45s top out at 14 rounds. I mean if you want 9mm you can convert to that and use double stack .38super mags that hold 20 rounds. Last time I checked 20 > 17. As for reliability, LOL. Every other police involved shooting video I see, the plastic pistol JAMS
One of my biggest mistakes was selling my Glock 36 now I gotta buy another one
Little hard to find went to 5 or 6 guns store til I found mine
@@joshuasutton4043 I actually found one too about six months after I made my original reply and it was the updated one with the rail my original one did not have it which is ironic because they are both gen 3's but that's Glock for you they are running out new gen 5 models 7 years after they came out lol
@@ricksold88s yeah my son had to original one with out the rail and the one I found had the rail on it was still hard to find even the Glock gun store didn’t have one .
Love mine I have a 43z which is a pleasure to carry concealed and the 27 but I carry my 36 everyday
I appreciate the holster coverage.
I have had my G36 since August of 2002. The Pearce +0 Grip extension feels much better than the original magazine floor plate and keeps the pinky from getting pinched. My G36 likes all round ogive JHPs I have tried in it but does not feed the Cor-Bon 200 Grain +P truncated cone JHP reliably. So I don't use truncated cone JHPs. The 30SF is cool with all loads I have tried. Both are great guns, that 30 handles everything up to 45 Super with ease.
Been my EDC Glock for the past 8 yrs… love it… changed out the sights to snake eyes also put Talon grips on too👍
great comparison thanks
One thing I can't stand about Glocks are the 2×4 feeling grips, the G 36 in the hand feels amazing! If they could have the 30 SF slimed a tad it would be perfect IMO
Excellent review. 45acp is an absolutely devastating round. No ne'er do well would want to be on the receiving end of this round. Well done.
Was going to add the G30 on my ccw list of 3 but ended up going with the 19, 26, and M&P shield 9. Maybe on my ccw renewal go with the G36. I believe the 36 slide fits and functions on the 30sf frame. Maybe it would be the best of both worlds. I had a gen 4 G30 and I shot it very well.
I've been a 1911 guy for decades. But, I picked up a 36 about 3 years ago, and I have to say, I see no reason to buy another compact 1911 again. The 36 shoots fine and is about a pound lighter. Win.
My duty pistol is a G21SF, G41MOS for SWAT, and a G30S for conceal carry.
What I really like about these pistols is that they can ALL use the 13-round mags.
Now I am looking at buying a G36 for appendix/deep carry, thanks for your review!
G36 and G19 have very close dimensions, you'd get 15+1 of 9mm opposed to 6+1 .45acp. Just a thought.
concealed carry
I've been eyeing the G30.4 for deep concealment and to add another magazine compatible .45 for awhile. I already appendix carry a G41 MOS, so it'd be strictly for deep concealment carry. I like that I could use my 21/41 magazines as a reload option.
A excellent video on the glock 36 gen3 and glock 30 gen3 but he did not say anything about the glock 30s 10 shots of 45acp and has the same slide of glock 36 and much lighter if you could find one buy it they are hard to find 💯 👍
I have a CCW in California. I ONLY carry a .45ACP. Some days I carry my Glock 30SF. Some days I carry my Wilson Protector 1911. I know I know. . ..45acp is a big ass gun. There was a time when the only .45 was the 1911. Its so great to NOW have so many options for .45acp aficianados
I love my 36, for a 45 acp it fits my hand nicely and conceals well on my skinny body😂 capacity wasn’t an issue for me, i carry a spare mag on my holster.
I fell in love with the Glock 36 after a episode of cops lol. The bad guy had one in the car 😆
I usually EDC with my G29 10mm, but I might have to get me one of these G36’s. Thanks for showing.
As an honorable mention the glock 36 is basically a HARDBALL GUN the latest models may have been reconfigured to handle hollowpoints but as usual whatever ammo you carry put a number of boxes thru the gun and pay attention to how the slide is going back into battery. If you have any doubts stick with hardball the .45 punches a big hole. If you are going to play you bet your life check everything or the duck may not come down.
I still carry a gen 4 Glock 22. Highly customized
I’ve been looking for a G36 for quite some time. I never seem to find one locally. Even though I have a substantial gun collection, I only have two EDC handguns. One for summer and one for winter. My winter carry is the Glock 30 S. Absolutely love that gun. Hopefully a 36 will cross my path in the near future. Thank you for the video.
You are most welcome. Good luck in your search...it will turn up in time. Thanks for watching!
You can’t just buy it online? Or go through a dealer to have it delivered.
@@SoWavvyy check buds guns
I'm not gonna say all G36's have issue's but I had to replace my recoil spring to a heavier weight in order for it to feed reliably. Its a great shooter. Buttery soft with a little kick. Feels nice in the hand too. So if anyone out there has a feeding/jamming issue with the 36 move onto a 20lb recoil spring. I haven't had any issues since swapping.
I have heard mention of the recoil spring issue, but have not experienced it so far. Right out of the case it is about 600 rounds flawless so far. Did this problem occur right away or develop over time? Thanks for watching by the way.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel Mines close to 2 years old. Problems with the first 200 rounds. I'd get a bunch of FTF and FTE. This was on both HP and ball ammo. About 300 rounds in and a couple months someone on youtube told me to swap to a 19lb or over spring. So I picked up a stainless steel 20lb spring and it helped eat everything. I was a little worried at first too because I really wanted to cc it. The stainless steel guide rod adds a little balance too trading off some extra weight tho.
@@mi777ke777 Good information. I keep a log on every gun to track any issues over time - I will see what happens and report on it accordingly. Have a great holiday.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel Thank you and have a great one as well. Awesome channel here too. I'm a faithful watcher. Your vids are no frills and very professional. Keep up the great work.
Cool vid thanks for sharing!
A excellent video on the new glock 36 just a great gun if you could find one buy it it 👍
I love the 45acp!
When I was honorably discharged from the US Army in the early eighties I carried a 1911 young guys in the 90s convinced me to purchase my first Glock pistol I've never looked back the 1911's are long gone Glock and load
If you had to choose between the G-36 and the G30s (slim slide), which would you choose now.
I have too many subs, but gave you one, and good review, thank you !
My EDC for the past 17 years. When you carry with an effective cartridge, you don't need high capacity.
Nice review ! I have had mine for a few years and no issues great gun and shoots fine for me
Got an Shield 45 2.0 and Shield 40 performance center as my little big pistols.
I had a 36, but it always pinched me when firing it with the mag gap. I carry my 1911's often.
I bought the 36 because I was unhappy with how difficult it was to conceal the .40 Glock 22. Absolutely love the 36 and how it puts shots on target, just had to get used to the kick compared to the .40. I was reading a review on how easy it is to conceal the 22 and I was wondering if the reviewer was a little confused or had ever tried to carry that bad boy IWB.
A game a good mag extension they would have a reasonable point only block 36 right now but I will choose a 1911 every time because of the striker-fired blowback action is it has been finely-tuned
.45 ACP ROCKS.
Just ran across you channel. You good sir have excellent content and earned a new sub.
Have a G30 but a bit fat making CCW a little uncomfortable so debating to get a G36 or a 30S. The G30 is my most accurate 45 & 10 Rd mags are hard to give up so the 30S definitely tempting to get a thinner slide while keeping a 10 round capacity. I love the older frame Glocks. Thanks for sharing.
Doesn’t the 30s have the 36 thinner slide?
@@weduhpeople8504 30s basically same slide as the 36 cause people where Frankensteining the 30 with 36 upper so Glock came out with the 30S for slim slide
Nice video, subbed. I have shot the 30sf and liked it. I wish I could buy as many guns as some here but I’m not wealthy.
great review and I know this video is a year old
But I just wanted to say that I bought a G30S (I only buy Gen 3 Glocks) today and it only weighs 28 oz loaded but its a narrow slide like the G36 and holds 10 rounds
Subbed, Regards, Pops
I have a Colt MK IV Lightweight Officers 45 ACP 3.5" on my list for CCW. (Which is no longer in production). It is definitely heavier than a Glock 36. The Colt is more ergonomic and slightly thinner. It can hold a 7-round magazine or even an 8-round magazine with an adaptor. For CCW I do like its external and grip safeties, plus It just fits my hand so well especially compared to my Glock 21SF. All that being said, I think the reliability of the Glock 36 and its lighter weight just might make me switch. Thanks for the info.
Will never replace a 1911.
I have a 36 and a 30SF, love them both.
I still have mine. 2nd Gen though. 15 years, I think. Back then it even cost more than my G30 did.
I started on 9mm after my friends who got me into guns convinced me that it is “the best” for CCW/SD. I didn’t know better. Went through 4 different 9mm handguns before stumbling upon .40 S&W. Did some reading up on the caliber, how it’s superior and stronger than the 9mm. Got a Glock 27 and haven’t looked back. I am thoroughly convinced that THIS is the best. Thanks, Glock.
Change the sights and put in a 3.5 pound connector and you have the best trigger on the market for $13. Fantastic CCW medicine!!!!!!
I have a Glock 36 also, did you put the fiber optic sights on your 36 if so what brand did you use?
Probably the biggest glaring issue with the 36 is the capacity besides that tho I’ve owned one for almost a year I shoot it better than my 1911 for some reason it’s the only 45 I regularly shoot and can feel confident with you can however get a Glock 30sf lower and use the 36 slide assembly to get 10 rounds of 45 instead of the 6 or 7 rounds in the stock 36 magazines
Well the XDS have holds 5 and the M&P Shield holds 6 also. Pretty much in line with other .45 single stacks for CCW
there is a company cain that makes + 3 for the clip making it 9 capacity. W e will see how it works out lol
I have had one for 10 or more, and I carry the 36 daily. I started to second guess the capacity with an all the chatter about double stack guns. I have almost every carry double stack guns. I shoot the 36 like a boss and it carries awesome. Personal I think the capacity is great for me.
was going to get a 36. Cant really find many holsters for it, so I got the 30 instead
I just subbed!
Wondering why you didn't get the 30S. You can make one by swapping slides on those 2 !
Steel replaced by plastic? Now that's a good one. To each his own.
What should I go with for home defense 45
I want a glock that is modeled as close to the dimensions of a 1911 as possible. 7/8 round single stack .45acp. Beaver tail grip. Silver slide with light silver polymer frame and wood colored talon grip tape. It could be a glock 55 (cuz its like a .45 but better). You could even buy a striker back plate with a little cosmetic plastic hammer to complete the stainless steel 1911 aesthetic.
I will stick to my S&W M&P Shield.45 2.0 over 2 million sold for a reason!!!!
Are there any other mags that the 36 hold I been lookin but I can’t find none
I am a 45 lover also, shoot very well with it, and I will definitely buy a single stack 45 and I think it will be a Glock.
Great gun and Review, Thank You. In Your opinion which is better shooter Glock 36 or xdm Elite compact .45?
That's a great question. I can't really do an exact comparison for the simple fact that the Glock 36 is a single stack, making it a slimmer and lighter. The XDM has the weight and grip to make shots a little easier. Overall, I would say the XDM is a better shooter, but the Glock is a far better carry gun. Thanks for watching!
I currently have a commander and I am looking for something lighter and smaller. Considering the 36 and also the M&P and the XDs. Never owned a striker fired pistol before. I love the feel and trigger of the Commander though. Anyway, the reason I want the change is carrying. I live AZ now and in the heat a heavy pistol becomes a pain. I like the HSTs. The old 185 +p golden sabers were good too.
Shield .45 gets very positive reviews too if you're looking for single stacks
@@antoniotula262 I ended up getting a XDs a month ago.
@@nokoolaid Niiice!!!.. I have a reg XD for years & super reliable, very accurate, much less recoil than G23 it replaced. Enjoy!!
I would like to see a shooting comparison between the Glock 30 and the 36. Also with a 1911 and a Glock 27, just to see how the 45 compares to a .40 Cal.
I have the Glock 30 Gen 3 and i think its great chunky and all with 10 rounds, i only have medium hands but its fine, very smooth shooting, Where i live we cannot carry at all so that's not important but i wouldn't be keen on the 36 model with less capacity. I also have the Glock 19 Gen 4.
Which Sticky holster size please?
I put in a suggestion to Shield Arms for their magic with a fully metal/higher capacity magazine for this firearm and the Glock 42 also!!!!! Think how popular this firearm could be with 9-round magazines and one in the pipe!!!!!!
I hated the odd feeling grip on the G36 and went with the G30 instead.
Get Mag Guts and a small extention plate you can get +2 so 8+1
Glock was famous for no FTF, no FTE, and double stack. It’s funny that moving forward (to single stack) is sort of moving backwards.
I bought one when they 1st came out, it wasn't reliable, well half the time it was. Traded it for a .22
i get 8 round compacity with a hyve +1 extension
G36 is a great carry gun.
What’s the difference between Glock 30sf Glock 30s and Glock 36?
I was a 1911 guy until recently. The problem, 1911's are great but they're too big and heavy for too few rounds.
I’m guessing the main difference between the 30SF and this 36 is the 30 is a double stack?
I prefer the Glock 30, also in .45ACP, because this model is double stack, what means that I can use a traditional Glock magazine on this caliber and use normaly.
The thing I never liked about 1911s is the take down process. Glocks, you can take down in seconds. When you also consider the difference in weight and size, I think you make a pretty good argument had these been available 70 years ago. The 1911 still has a longer barrel which helps with accuracy
Takedown is key bud!
sorry will have to pry my 1911 colt from my cold dead hand
Lol. No shame in that. I doubt I will ever give up my 1911s either, but this is certainly a little easier for me to carry. Have a great holiday and thanks for watching!
It’s a great carry gun but can’t replace the 1911 it was used many years in service
You can get the 30 slim slid model, use model 21 mags for back will give you 14 rounds in the gun. I have no problem with a little extra weight to get the most rounds that I can. By the way it will never take the 1911,s place. Its been to reliable for to long.
This holds 6 bullets rather than 7+1 of 1911, right?
Most channels ive seen say the trigger on this is close to 6-7 lbs.
I dont wanna have to swap out triggers, so thats a pass for me.
I had a commander SR1911. Springfield 1911a1, and Springfield XDs45. The glock 36 is still in my possession. The others sold. I have +1 extensions on 2 magazines . Beats a 1911 for carry all day. The 30s is a 30 with a 36 slide. People were putting 36 slides on the 30 and glock caught on. I've wanted a 30s for a while but haven't gotten to getting one. My 36 is from 2000
First year. Got it used dirty cheap. Replaced with springs for maybe 35. Winner
Be careful of that blackhawk holster. Your asking for an accidental discharge.
Not True! I carried a G19 in my Black Hawk Holster for over 10 years and never had a problem with it at all and never thought it was unsafe!
@@stevekatz4372 you may feel that way. But you are still wrong. Those Blackhawk holsters are bad news. I'd tell you to go take a class with one but no serious trainers even allow them in classes because of the safety concerns.
