Built around the design parameters of Glock's subcompact models the Glock 39 melds ultimate concealment size with the power and accuracy of the .45 G.A.P. cartridge. The grip has a built-in beaver tail design which allows the shooter to acquire a high and tight grip for the best control. The rear serrations and the aggressive texture of the grip lets the shooter more easily operate the pistol. This pistol performs well with experienced or novice shooters who want perfection in a small powerful package.
