The Glock 46. The one Glock (excluding the 44) that doesn’t share the same internal mechanisms as the others. It is a rotating barrel design, as you may have seen in guns like the Beretta Px4, GSH-18, and some 5.7x28 designs, such as the S&W M&P 5.7. It exists because German police requirements were for a gun that didn’t require a trigger pull to field strip, and a different trigger pull. The Glock 46 supposedly has a much longer trigger pull than usual. The rotating barrel, however, was apparently not required, and is unclear why Glock did that. It seems to field strip, this knob in the place of the backplate needs to be turned, and the magazine removed. Due to its unique takedown system, the usual Glock takedown levers are absent, leaving a smooth side. It seems to be the size of a Glock 19, with some photos showing extended magazines.
