As popular as the Glock 45 design is in 9mm it's not too farfetched to consider a .40 cal version ? Glock would probably make the slide thicker as they have done with new Gen 5 .40 cal offerings - but still it might make for an interesting pistol to have 15 rounds of .40 cal (G22 frame) with a G23 barrel length . Those with larger hands will like the full grip of the G22 and if for duty use has the advantage of riding better in the car than a longer length G22 ... Essentially just taking what's popular with the G45 and extending the scope to include .40 cal as a caliber offered - Law Enforcement may like the more robust .40 cal better in such a G45 type design .

Future Glock 45 Design : Offered in 40 Cal ?
While I think a G45 version chambered in .40 cal could probably one up the already supposed perfect G45 in 9mm - I'm afraid LE has made the switch for good to 9mm .
Already done. I believe there is some discussion on the G23 MHS in this thread:

Will the “crossover” version of a G23 MHS ever be released? I’m guessing yes, it’s just a Gen5 G23 slide on a G45 frame with a different ejector. When? I have no idea. Until then, you have the option from the thread.
G45.5+G23.5= G23X? A GLOCK Modular Comparison
Today, I got to shoot a few new guns. Of those, two were ripe for an experiment. I brought out the G45.5 and the recently released G23.5. I have read discussion of putting the G23.5 slide on the G45.5 frame, which would give a person a .40 S&W the size of a G19X. So, I decided to make and...

Honestly, if you can conceal or carry a G45, then a G17 isn’t much harder. We’re issued the G45 at work, but off duty I CC a G17 at 4 o’clock in a Vedder Lighttuck.
A G45 sized pistol in 40S&W would be the only future Glock I'd be interested in buying. Whether it's a 23X or whatever number they assign to it, I'd buy one.
