About this video

Colion reviews his Glock 36 chambered in .45 ACP (he misstates it as 9mm partway through), focusing on its slim profile for concealed carry. He explains why he believes thickness matters more than barrel length for concealment, discusses his experience pocket-carrying the gun, and walks through features like the slide lock and loaded chamber indicator. Colion emphasizes that this subcompact Glock strikes what he considers an ideal balance between concealability and feeling like a real defensive firearm.

Key takeaways

  • Colion argues that gun thickness, not barrel length, is the most important factor for comfortable inside-the-waistband concealment
  • According to Colion, the Glock 36’s slim profile allows pocket carry in cargo shorts and sweatpants without excessive weight
  • Colion teaches that the slide lock on this model is sharp and prominent but highly functional, and the loaded chamber indicator works better than on standard Glocks in his view
