    Here is the smaller frame .45 caliber version of duty weapon (Glock 21). It is great for off-duty concealment or even as a second firearm while in uniform. The Glock 30 has a smaller capacity magazine (10 rounds) in a dual stack magazine. With my smaller hands, the weapons sits just fine. Those with larger hands may want to use a magazine extender to keep a good grip on the weapon. As far as firing the 30, it's everybit as reliable as the larger 21.

    I have really enjoyed carrying this weapon as my off duty weapon of choice. It is easy to conceal, carries well and allows adequate ammunition for engagements if needed. Fits well in hands and fires very well placed shot groups even in rapid fire exercises. Currently carry this is weapon with a holsterless belt clip. Never had any misfires or jams in over 1500 rnds.

    This weapon is the perfect balance of large caliber power, magazine capacity and concealability. I wear it in an Apache Ankle holster when wearing my duty uniform and when off duty. It is practically undetectable. It goes everywhere with me, on duty of off.

    Clearly there are many policelink members that have a lot more experience with firearms that I do, but my two cents is that this is one fine weapon. I find the size and weight to be perfect, and I like the way it looks.

    I was a firearms instructor in the 1980's and was instrumental in switching my agency (Lake Worth PD, FL) from revolvers to the S&W 659/459 series. At the time, that was the best auto we could find. In the mid 90's, Glock emerged and after extensive study we switched our entire depatrment to the Glock .40 and .45 calibers. I chose this model, the 11 shot Glock 30 in .45 cal as my backup/off duty weapon and after I retired I still carry (with a permit!) this weapon. Having been active in police firearms research, policy and training for over 20 years I found this to be the absolute best balance of size, weight, concealability, reliability and power. Great weapon!

    Always with me when I walk out the door. Mostly carry it IWB, sometimes in a paddle holster (court) and when ever I'm on shift as a 2nd under my armpit on a strap holster. The only jams I had with it were using the fullsize mags from my 21 and I attribute that to having my pinky put pressure on the mag. I shoot with the fullsize mags pinky forward to get away from it. No problems since.

    Exellent weapon for off duty use as well as plain clothes operations! You can use the same 13 round mags used for your full size Glock 21, as back up mags. If your mitts asre to small, send it out to RoBar for the grip reduction, they did an outstanding job on my 21 as well. Stay Safe!

    I rate this product well because it is full power, small, and low in weight. I am able to effective concealed carry it in hot Florida with shorts and sleeveless shirt. I am able to place 9 rounds fairly close at 30 feet. I had a S&W 357 mag before and switched to this because of the light weight. I do like the S&W 357 mag. Just too heavy.

    GLOCK 30

    Accuracy - power - speed

    The GLOCK 30 in the legendary .45 caliber offers excellent out-of-the- box precision paired with the ballistic quality of a genuine big-bore caliber. The smooth design and the simple
    operation of the GLOCK pistol allow quick drawing of the pistol. Because of these advantages and especially because of its compact dimensions, the GLOCK 30 is the
    first choice of plainclothes officers and protection personnel. This is the gun I carry off - duty to dinner, or to a night on the town. Nice very powerful sub-compact.

    OK, what's funny is that of all the various handguns I shoot IDPA with, this is by far my best scoring weapon. Magazine capacity is perfect, functioning is flawless and it fits my medium size hands very well. I shoot either COR-BON or Federal HS ammo entirely with this firearm.

    I love this handgun! I carry mine when I'm off duty, because it's lighter and smaller. The other cool thing about this handgun is that I can use my G21 mags in it. The other thing I like is that it comes with hi-cap mags. It's just like the 21 but smaller. I would recommend this to anybody who is considering getting an off duty handgun because this is THE pistol to have.

I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT EXTRA MAGS FOR EACH WEAPON. PLUS, THE .45 IS SUCH A PROVEN ROUND I WOULDN'T CARRY ANYTHING ELSE.

    Of the two Glocks I own and the one issued, this is my favorite. It's small accurate and easy to handle. I was surprised at how little recoil there was in such a small .45 pistol. Even with larger hands, I find it easy to hold onto. My preferred back-up/off duty weapon carried in a serpa paddle back haloster.

    I bought one of the first ones that came out. Awesome weapon. The new model 30 has a thinner grip and shorter length. May be a better set up for smaller hands. Either way, if you carry a model 21 for duty, the 30 should be your choice for back up because your duty mags will fit your back up weapon.

    Picked up my G30 today. Took her to the range and OH MAN I fell in love. I'm a big bore kind of guy but have been carying the kel-tec P-11 for off duty and BUG. I got the itch for a small .45 and started looking at this gun. Same capacity as the P-11 and just a little bit bigger. Still small enough for an ankle.
    I took her to the range and ran about 150 rounds through the gun. Shoots well, recoil is much less than I expected and she ate everything I fed her even those big old hollow points. This is my first Glock. If all Glocks are this good I'll probably end up with the whole set of tupperware.
