GLOCK 30SF - Review

[@dadoody]

I got this gun after seeing all the great videos and reviews online. I bought a brand new one. Put 300 rounds through it. My hand was beat to hell after. Trigger finger was throbbing. Welts on middle finger and pinky. Used to my 1911....definitely not the same ergonomics at all. Kept switching my gripping around. I'll take it out again, but will put 150-200 rounds through max during an outing. May need grip tape. Flawless shooting though...but extended shooting becomes a chore.

[@troy3456789]

I've owned the G27 for 3 years and I can attest, it's a little bit snappy. I just bought the G30SF a few weeks ago. The G30SF is so soft to shoot; the difference is amazing. I was already for a jolt when I fired the G30SF the first time, that I jilted my hand when i fired it in anticipation of a hard kick-but I was wrong. I can safely say, it's a nicer choice for the feminine man or a woman to carry and use than the G27. Hickock45 says the reduction in recoil is from the large heavy slide.

[@FoodFolksandGuns]

I pick up my 30SF on Monday. Can't wait!

[@stl4kt]

Just bought one yesterday. Absolutely love it.

[@rleonekc07]

I'm thinking about getting one for CCW

[@brwcty59]

Hey OTG...great job on your review of the G30SF. Always appreciate your perspective. I don't own any Glocks (yet). Did not realize that the 30 was so similar in size to the 19. The Gen4 G19 is on my short list.' I am also a big fan of the XD45 Service. I have put several thousand rounds through mine without a singe issue.

[@virtualtube1]

@sharpie132 I guess you are aware by now that the Gen4 issues have been resolved. I too have a G19 Gen4. I bought it with the latest recoil spring(0 3 4) but I had to get the latest ejector installed. I live in GA so I drove to them and had it replaced in about 15-20mins. I had this done about a couple of months ago and have not had a jam since (knock on wood :)). I'm too am thinking about purchasing the G30SF and will most likely do so this weekend. The 30SF does not come in a Gen4.

[@Gleyvas87]

The SF actually stands for slim frame; 1.27" overall width

[@garandfan12]

the kimbers my dads police department swat team uses have had barrels rust, safetys break off, and firing pins fly out back of them, they want theyre glocks back

[@roseroyceGHOST]

I agree. My glock 33 is great for EDC plus I have a g27 barrel that fits perfect. .40cal ammo is cheaper and easy to find than .357 sig ammo. My korean war vet father WARNED me to always stay with the .45acp, so I bought the g36.

[@Grubkat]

That pistol will be part of my system if and when I get a 45. Top shelf as always OTG.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

I picked up a sig 226 mk25 navy today and on the way out I ended up buying a g30 sf as well. cant wait to shoot it because i'v been debating on buying a g30 for about 3 years now.

[@DataSlam]

I had the opportunity to try out the new G30S recently and personally I noticed zero difference in felt recoil between that and the G30/G30SF. Seems there's no longer a need for that chunky slide.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE RINES!

[@OilTheGun]

Thanks for hanging arind!

[@GunznGear]

Not a big fan of the sub compact Glocks in 40sw and 9mm, b/c the short grip. I do like my G29 w/ the extended grip on the mag. I consider my G29 a P3 for sure.

[@GIBSON-KNIVES]

Great review my friend, I really like the PIP. G30 is one of my fav glocks. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jarhead6]

Great review bro! I am looking at the G30s next!

[@OilTheGun]

Good deal it's my favorite Glock these days and my EDC.

[@Jarhead6]

***** Great bro! They have it here for 500 bucks (with the military discount). I think is a good price, I may go for it this coming month!

[@OilTheGun]

I hope you enjoy it like I do. Have a great weekend.

[@Jarhead6]

***** You too bro!

[@gunchief0811]

heck yeah.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

Pretty golden rule of handguns: If the firearm is less accurat then the user. It's a bad gun. The gun should always be more accurate. In this case, good gun

[@lskw1]

the 30, and the 36, have been on my mind alot lately! nice job with the vid!

[@iwillybilly]

Love it! The more i shoot mine the more i think my glock cant and wont fail. One of the best guns i have bought. I love the sights on that Sir

[@navyman8903]

If I may inquire, why do you like the 185's over the 230's? I run the 230 grain golden sabers. Just wondering. I might give them a shot.

[@GunznGear]

@OilTheGun Blad-Tech IWB holster. I wouldn't mind a Galco Jackass shoulder holster, but I haven't even checked to see if they make one for the 29/30 yet.

[@gabethedizzle]

Personally I cant stand the feel and ergonomics of he XD's. I love the hk's, sigs and 1911's but there is something almost magical about how the glock fits my hand and shoots. Again it's all personal preference but for me I would pick and carry a glock (esp 9mm and .45SF models) over any other pistol currently available.

[@BarryNewmanboenairgeez56]

My edc is a Glock 30sf with 13+1 round mag in an Aegis Armory clam shell holster. Also a DPM recoil and a product called a Snagmag like them all very well.i where bib overalls evey day and this is a perfect setup for me. Good video i appreciate your sensibilities about pistols. Do i hear a bit of a brogue in your voice?

[@SteveNas530]

@OilTheGun Ok so as I understand now Glock makes "short frame" AND "slim frame" with certain versions of their pistols.

[@Jeckyll859]

Nice review! Is that an Irish accent I detect?

[@mag44ie]

Thanks .. I think so too. it dose not take me more then one shot to hit my target. If it is an definsive weapon i do not presive more then one , two at the most advesaries. If more i have four more shots. Thanks again.

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Very nice love the way you compared other models to it,some great shooting awesome review

[@Lanscop08]

This is my gun of choice and my e.d.c. Only thing thats sucks is Sometimes it catches my pinky between the mag and the hanggrip. But all in all I am satisfied with this weapon...

[@sharkzf6]

Well done brother. I like the comparisons. You and I sure do think alike. Carry preference, 1911s, .45 ACPs, etc.

[@coltonmoseley6739]

put a glock 21 mag in their and you have the best glock 45 their is!

[@JJiG]

@OilTheGun Thanks man. I recently just purchased a Glock 19 and it's definitely not going to be the last Glock I purchase. I shot my friends 30 and loved it, but haven't seen a 36 I wonder how much slimmer a single stack 36 is to the double 30. If it's not a HUGE difference then i'd probably shoot for the 30. Owning a 1911 I do like single stack tho nice and thin but we'll see. Thanks for another great review!

[@sharpie132]

Ill be getting my g30sf next month also hopefully but im starting to question glock cause g19 gen 4 was jamming on me at the range

[@colarisaka]

I have two G26s. Want to upgrade to either a G27 or G30. It is up in the air now, but I'm leaning towards that G30. Nice sights! I may look into HiViz. The mepro nite sights on my old G26 are too pricey, can't afford any more for my second.

[@BNNinja20]

Hey, Just wanted say thx for the review. I been wanting to get this model but have yet to fine one in a store near me. Your review answer's a lot of questions I had about the gun. Still not sure if I want this one or the G27? With any luck I'll find a store that has both that I can test fire!?!

[@MyNameIsMrSwifty]

Very nice!! I'll b getting the g 30sf hopefully next month.

[@baptistchrisjohn]

Thank you,very good review n shooting.I hope Glock will release G30 gen 4 soon.

[@garageguy879]

Ive see several comments on other videos saying the 30 feels like it has less recoil and isnt as snappy as the 27,,can you verify this?

[@GUNQUEST21]

As usual nice vid. I am learning from you. Your vids. are nice and short and to the point. I am working to get all my new vids. down to 5 mins. max. I sold my Glock 27 G3 to finance my Yugo AK 47 I bought last year at a gun show. I love my Yugo, but it was a big mistake... I should have never sold that G27! I am looking to put a new Glock in my collection soon. I am trying to find a G36 Gen 3, or a G17 Gen 4. They are very hard to find in may area. Thanks again nice vid!

[@bigbone320]

I just purchased mine yesterday I do like the sights you put on yours how much did they run you I will be able to pick it up in 9 days also do you have any jamming probs I have been doing research and have heard some people are having jamming probs on the 30 sf I hope mine dont

[@colarisaka]

They didn't have hollow points for autos until the '70s! 9mm with hollow points is very effective, and in .40 too. The 1911 as Colt designed it was meant to shoot .41ACP, a rimless smokeless continuation of Colt's very effective .41 Long Colt round, but the Army wanted a .45. .40 S&W is similar to the .41ACP concept, but ca. 1988. : D

[@pablojak]

Thx for the video...trying to decide between the 30 and the 21....p

[@Grubkat]

@OilTheGun Looking forward to it.

[@lightningwu]

lol, OTG, if the XDms never existed and i needed a compact 45, this is my choice. It was first ever .45 that I shot (ik ik, need the 1911) but hey, I rolled with it. Its a great great gun. Still waiting on a darn xdm 45 3.8 at least.

[@Mr45Bullitt]

Love those sights! I thought SF stood for shot fivehundred! Great vid and review my friend.

[@onlinecux]

Does the Glock 30 SF version have a much shorter grip compare to the regular Glock 30?

[@SNIPERSTEVE420]

i really want a Glock 30, i Have a fullsize 21, and had a G36, but my dad wanted it so i sold it to him. now i just want it back, i love that little gun, it is tiny for a .45!

[@MountainBound17]

I'm pretty sure the G30SF is still Gen 3. The G30 Gen 4 is up on the Glock website and they seem to be making a big deal out of the fact that it is a Gen 4, whereas the 30SF has nothing indicating it is the newer generation.

[@GUNTOTER1]

Nice looking gun Great review with nice updates to gun and the comparison to other guns is nice also.

[@RATFINKrod87]

Great video like always, keep up the good work.

[@JJiG]

Hey man do you have a Glock 36? Was wondering what your take on that would be compared to the 30.

[@DiquanPlayer56]

So ! Do you like XD's over Glock's? " I just started carring the Glock 29 SF 10mm for my EDC" but my best Gun's are the FNS- 40sw or HK P30-S 40sw HK P2000SK 40sw

[@jackbook5428]

Nice job. You are correct on all issues.

[@Lawrence64]

Nice pistol. Love the Ammo you use.

[@bigdaddyhoffman1911]

Great review my friend.......Thanks

[@GunBasicsPhilippines]

Great size comparisons with the other gun models! :)

[@xXBallistic82Xx]

I wish all the models were beveled and the end of the slide like the g30.

[@Richn62]

Was the 30sf reliable while you had it?

[@MrCleanerNash]

Pretty sweet. I'm with you, I'd prefer the G27 between the two for carry. Thanks for sharing.

[@jerryle7]

Great info, thanks for posting. Definately would be my next weapon of choice.

[@zach9112]

great video man. have you shot the 30S? if so, does it kick noticeably more? and does it feel better?

[@hbk1620]

Anyone know the brand and/or make of those sights? They look incredible. I want to upgrade mine.

[@oilhammer04]

What is the logic behind Glock model #s? Why not 21.2 for this gun?

[@AriR6R]

I want to get an XD compact or sub compact. But not sure what caliber to get. What do u think? I don't like too much recoil

[@JapMagnet]

Aye. I used to visit me Granny up near Newry.

[@pathand1026]

Great review. Nicely done.

[@BigDawg17musicluver]

Whats a rind?

[@mag44ie]

What do you think of a glock 36 for a carry?

[@dafrogtoad]

Excellent review bro..nice pistol!

[@TheDeadhead71]

maybe I should get a glock and forget Kimber

[@rickjames7801]

Whats different about the gen 4s ??

[@bigjc12000]

Hard to beat a Glock.

[@rcruz003]

Is the 30SF a Gen model ? The guide spring is different from my Gen 3 model 22.

[@MrDeleon9999]

Like the review brother. Thanks for the vid.I learned alot sir.

[@navyman8903]

@OilTheGun Okay, good stuff. Nice gun.

[@MrThaTank]

i love the g30 shoots wonderful

[@MrDapperton]

HOW DID YOU GET A XDM WITH A SAFETY? PLEASE TELL ME I BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE FOREVER!!!!!!!

[@OilTheGun]

It's an XD, referred to as the service model.

[@willwood487]

I like it alot and I have one on my want list!

[@thealize808]

whats the most comfortable way to ccw the glock 30sf?

[@johnpublic976]

Nice Video! Have you considered the G29 vs the G30s, your comments? How do you carry your G27, IWB or OWB? Thanks, Q

[@OilTheGun]

30S EDC 29 while hiking, 27 IWB or ankle.

[@mohammadkusbudiajis.pt.8273]

Good review ... !!!

[@lenwilson7321]

A Gen 4 recoil spring will not fit in a Gen3 slide.

[@RobertsLife]

Very cool

[@troy3456789]

I've owned the G27 for 3 years and I can attest, it's a little bit snappy. I just bought the G30SF a few weeks ago. The G30SF is so soft to shoot; the difference is amazing.

[@pablojak]

I'm leaning toward the 21.......p

[@42cujo]

glock 30sf is so dam accurate i love it :)

[@glenrushh]

nice glock gotta love them all

[@luislimones6791]

Does this glock have a safety

[@gunchief0811]

you are the safety..

[@gunchief0811]

no glocks have external safety's thats a characteristic of glocks since day one.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

All Glocks are the same when it comes to a safety. Go to their site and you can read about the safe action trigger.

[@kryptos7799]

Great review!! Actually makes me want to get a glock.

[@bigjc12000]

Sweet!

[@HerbWalker]

Hey , Im looking at G21SF vs G30SF. Im a M1911 guy,carry over from the US Army daZe I guess:) I sub'D ya and look forward to more videos! This "Scouts OUT!"

[@TheHobbyistChannel]

Love the Glock!!!!

[@Bigntactical1]

Love that G30!

[@mz9393mz]

He tells you at 1:15

[@lightningwu]

@OilTheGun ^_^

[@troy3456789]

Slim Frame

[@tactical2bagpipes]

That is a correct assumption.

[@JapMagnet]

Is that a Northern Ireland accent camouflaged by an American Southern accent???

[@TheMultiGunMan]

★★★★★ Nice looking Pistol. Gotta love Glock!

[@missinglink789]

You put 500 rinds throught it thats a lot of pork
