Glock 26 for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP): This Glock is a Generation 5 Glock for the CBP that incorporates a flared magazine well with an extended, longer grip than that of the usual Gen 5 Glock 26. Moreover, the magazine well is flat across and has no bump as the Glock 25 Gen 5 or the G19X.
The Colt M1911 (also known as 1911, Colt 1911, Colt .45, or Colt Government in the case of Colt-produced models) is a single-action, recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. [10]
It was designed with a 105 degree grip angle, the same as the Colt M1911 pistol, to maintain a consistent grip angle. [1] Production history.
The pistol is a direct competitor to the Glock 19. [4] The guns have very similar characteristics but Glock is about 68 g (2.4 oz) lighter, is about 2.5 mm (1 ⁄ 10 in) shorter and has a different grip angle. [5]
It had the same grip angle as the Colt 1911A1. Soon after, S&W introduced a pair of very small concealed carry–style variants, the SW380M and the SW9M, chambered in .380 ACP and 9mm Luger respectively. Both had a black polymer frame and a dark blued slide. Both had rudimentary sights.
The grip angle is the same since the SD pistols use the same magazines as the Sigma pistols (though with different magazine bottom plates). The trigger guard is larger, and the SD line has industry-standard accessory rails rather than a proprietary rail. In December 2023, Smith & Wesson released the SD9 2.0.

The M1911 design is a popular example of a handgun with a grip safety, [2] while the Uzi submachine gun and the HS2000 (marketed in the US as the Springfield Armory XD) and its descendants are other notable examples of this type of safety.
