Glock's press release announced that the company will supply the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) with its next duty pistol. The release is dated April 28, 2026, and was issued from Smyrna, Georgia.
What Was Announced
Glock will provide RCMP officers with new G45 pistols. The company is working on the contract with RAMPART Corp., which the release describes as Canada's leading supplier of operational equipment to military and law enforcement customers. The RCMP is Canada's national police service, handling federal law enforcement and contracted policing in provinces and communities.
Key Details
- Pistol: Glock G45
- Customer: Royal Canadian Mounted Police
- Partner: RAMPART Corp.

According to the release, the RCMP tested the pistols over two days, with more than 20,000 rounds fired, and performed drop testing as part of a competitive evaluation with safety qualifications. The release does not disclose contract value, order quantity, or delivery schedule.
What It Means for Gun Owners
A national police contract for a Glock pistol adds another large government adoption to the platform's record with military and law enforcement agencies. For civilian owners, the announcement is mainly a sign of how the G45 holds up under agency testing. The release also highlights the G45 as a pistol that comes with a full duty package, including a red dot and weapon light.
Bottom Line
Glock has won the RCMP duty pistol contract, with the G45 to be supplied alongside RAMPART Corp. The release gives the testing process and the equipment package but leaves out the contract's financial and logistical terms. Glock's own announcement is the primary source for these details.
