Glock Model 30s 45 ACP : What's the Deal?

I've been a fan of the Glock Model 30 Compact 45 ACP Pistol but it's thick. The Model 30s is also in 45 ACP but has a much slimmer slide and Barrel. It's makes a big difference with felt recoil and Concealed Carrying. Honestly, I didn't know about the Model 30s until about 6 months ago even though it's been out for years. #GlockModel30 #45ACP #Glock
We're taking a look at the advantages and disadvantages of both, but I'm really interested in how they shoot side by side.

The 30s is one of my main carry pieces and I love it...

I love my 30s. I've had it for years. I would love a 30 to go with it. The thick grip may not feel as comfortable as a Walther, but the blocky grip wedges into my hand and is very stable. So even though it doesn't feel as comfortable, it shoots better because it's so stable.

[@johndel1971able]

I've gotten the same impression on my g30. When I mess around with it at home it feels huge in my hands. But when I take it to the range, grab it from the holster it feels fine and I don't notice it. And I have short fingers.

[@mbenjamin292]

I have a 30 and I love it..

[@jcraigshelton]

One of the reasons why I got the 30S was because my hands aren’t very big. Double stack 45s are problematic for me on follow up shots. The SF frame married capacity with 45 power in a platform I could handle. Best of both worlds.

[@dsny121]

I've had a 30S since they were made available to the civilian market in 2013. Recently picked up a G30Gen4 and have to say, although chunkier up top, the recoil is noticeably lighter, especially with 185 and 200 grain +P loads. And although I have Talon Pro grips on my 30S, I prefer the stock texturing on the Gen4.

@@jorges2000 My preference is the G30 Gen4. I keep all my Glocks stock (except for sights) and the trigger is a bit cleaner than the Gen3’s out of the box. The grip texture on the Gen4 is what sold it for me along with the larger magazine release.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I might buy a new factory re built Glock 36 .45acp .... it's the newer US version with a tactical rail.

[@D70340]

I bought the 30S a few years ago. Only thing i hated about it was the gap between the mag and the frame. Real finger pincher for sure. Thankfully, the Pearse base plates fix the pinch issue. I carry mine with the 9 round mag, 2 regular 10rd mags for back up. As for accuracy, i can run a whole 10rd mag, all holes touching in the bullseye. Most accurate compact 45 i`ve ever owned. Thanks Don for the video. The 30S never gets much attention. I had hoped glock would have made the 30S in the Gen4, but they never did. I can only hope they make this 30S in the Gen 5 now. Now we wait, again. COME ON GLOCK! GET IT DONE! WE`RE WAITING! 😒

[@davidwiechecki9205]

The Glock 30S was created because people were taking their Glock 36 slide and putting it on a 30 frame. It created a much easier to carry and lighter 45 that still held 10 rounds in the magazine. It also can accept the Glock 21 magazine and any of the aftermarket extendo mags. The only thing that it's not recommended to do is shoot 45 super. I haven't found anyone that seems to have tested that theory.

[@jonathanglassman2021]

One other advantage of 30 over 30S is the 30 can take .45 to 10mm conversion barrels or Glock 29 barrels so you can get two calibers out of it (woods & ‘hoods). Thicker barrel and slide of 30 also allow .45smc cartridges to be used.

Plus my SF on the 30s has the bottom of the trigger guard slightly deeper at grip, and grip fully textured, feels & shoots great.

Ideal for me I'd like to have the 30S with changeable back straps to go with more of a beaver tail for the look then I like to have the flat baseplate for concealablity and the 21 mags with a good mag boot for open carry etc.

[@J.Wick.]

I ended up in going with the 30SF. Simply because I wanted the ability to use 10mm barrel/mags to have the option of 2 calibers. The 30S was considerably thinner, but couldn't find nearly as much aftermarket for it MINUS holsters. As the 30S fits 19 holsters... Take your pick. 30 holsters are a bit more challenging to find. IMO the 30 is too thick in a holster. I use a TechnaClip on mine. If you don't care about barrel swaps, the 30S is by far the way to go. The 30 is a thick boi, but I love it. 45&10 from one "compact" pistol.

I'm a lefty, so the Gen 5's really appeal to me more. I have a G19 & G26 both Gen 5 and absolutely love'em! I want to either add this G30 or G30s to my fold. Will Glock be making a G30 & G30s in a Gen 5 version? Oh! Great video as always Sootch00. 😎

I bought a glock 30s, didn't like the recoil impulse of it, sold it, and bought the Glock 30 gen 4 , never regretted it! Sold my glock 21 gen 3, and bought a glock 41, hated the recoil impulse of the 41, traded it off, and bought a 21 gen 4 . I've also shot the 36 and I don't like it either. Something about that standard thickness glock 45acp guns that are nicer to shoot. Just my experience.

[@elliottbutts153]

The 30s is awesome. Probably the king when it comes to size and round count, 11rds. You can use the flush fit 9rd mag too which is even more concealable. You can CCW it or put a light on it and use it for home defense. It is very versatile. The G41 makes a perfect companion. Basically the 41 is the long slide bigger brother to the 30s. With the 9rd mag the 30s is just bigger than the G26. I actually use my 26 holster to carry my 30s. If you were to get and have only 1 gun in 45acp I believe the 30s is the gun to get, period! Though I have a few other pistols in 45acp that I like better none of them are as versatile. It would be last to go which says a lot. You also should be able to put the 30s slide onto the gen4 frame if you wanted too.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Yup I agree. Even though it is a subcompact, with the 10 round magazine it really fits well in most shooter's hands like it was a full sized gun, while still being smaller.

For those not aware, the design & release of the Glock 30S was in part because of the elite LAPD/SAS 🕵🏽‍♂️🕵🏼‍♀️. After the major issues with custom made Kimber SAS line 1911a1s, the detectives chose the big Glock 21 .45acp guns. After carrying 21s for a bit, the SIS asked Glock to revise, modify compact 30 pistols. SIS needed 30Ss to carry concealed, undercover 🥸 or as a 2nd gun. Glock USA agreed to LAPDs terms but wanted the 30S to sell on the open market.

[@doc3296]

Great video Sootch, Thank You! I absolutely love my Glock 30S! I have had it since it was released. A tad more recoil, sure, but that difference will not concern you one bit if this comes out of your holster to defend your life. On mine I replaced all the magazine base plates with the Pearce models that match the grip frame/finger grooves, replaced the front sight with a Glock branded night sight, replaced the rear sight with a steel Glock branded fully adjustable sight, put in a Ghost Ultimate 3.5 lb connector and fully polished the internals. I like the different mag options, though I can’t seem to ever find the infamous 9 rounders. For those that are unaware, KCI makes reliable 26 round magazines..if interested.

You know that the 30S upper will fit the Gen 4 frame? I thought about doing that to dual wield 30Sesess, just for fun, I think. My daughter hates Micro Nines. She tried them all. The best 9mm she likes is the M&P Shield Plus. I showed her that the Shield Plus and 30S are virtually identical in size and weight all around. I installed the lightest recoil spring i have (15lbs) in the 30S and she fired 135gr Underwood Xtreme Defenders. She noticed there is less recoil than the Shield Plus with that ammo and the slide is just as easy to manipulate. Both have 10 and 13 round mags. Now, the 30S is her favorite gun. I'm hoping that a Gen 5 will come out soon, I might have to get 2 of them. If not, nothing wrong with getting another original G30S and doing the same modifications.

[@northshores7319]

Recoil only matters at the training range as you will not be thinking of it during a self defense situation when the adrenalin dump gives you added strength and power to fight better. Of more concern is the grip and how it enables you to shoot accurately. I was at an outdoor range when two Spec Op type of guys entered. After they had shoot off a hundred rounds they were talking about their lack of accuracy. One had a Glock and the other a Sig. I said to them try switching guns and see how you do as a semi serious suggestion. They did so. After another hundred rounds they decided to swap guns because the results were so much better. That was a surprise and it made me realize the importance of the grip.

Great review Sootch. I recently acquired a NIB 30S. After a couple boxes of 230 range ammo, I enjoyed it. I have been running a 19.5 for some time and realize these are quite close in size. The 30S fully loaded was an oz lighter than a fully loaded 19. I can also carry the 30S in a couple of my 19.5 holsters. I will for sure run some more range ammo thru it and will make it a carry gun for sure. I honestly don't see the snap some folks talk about with this gun. It is more of a push really, my opinion anyway. Thanks again for a good review.

Great discussion on a couple of my favorite Glocks. I've got both, and carried both for several years. For me, the carryability of the 30S is quite a bit better. I have never noticed much shootability difference, though. The biggest thing for me, though, is that the 30S is only a Gen 3, meaning that I can't swap the mag catch (I'm a lefty). I really wish it was popular enough that they would bring it out in a gen 4 or 5. But other than that, they are both fantastic guns, and if it interests anybody, on Massad Ayoobs' favorites list...for a good reason.

Best video I have seen on guns for a while. Everything I ever wanted to know about the 30 and 30s glocks. I may want to buy a 30s but I usually only buy guns that CT makes lasers for because I am old and eyes no longer focus on sights all that well. I am thinking maybe the G19 laser might fit but have to check what generation the G19 laser is made for. Liked, subbed.

I have a gen 3 model 30(sf) and use the model 21 13rd mags with a xgrip adapter. I like this setup 👌

Love mine. Glock 21 13 round (with sleeve) magazine into my Glock 30SF....perfect.

Great review!

This is pretty simple. The primary features are the slimmer slide width (1” as opposed to 1.12”) and lower slide-assembly weight (it's a full 3.5 ounces lighter than the G30 slide assembly) and with the SF frame, the 30S has a slightly shorter trigger reach and overall grip radius as compared to the plain G30. I owned the 30S and ended up selling it as it didn't really speak to me. I prefer my HK 45C. Cheers!

The HK 45C is a sweet handgun no doubt. Thanks Sig

Theo discussion here is about Glock 30 and 30 s, not about HK ir Michel Jackson!

I have the 30SF. I have medium sized hands, so I like it a bit smaller. The floor plate is a finger pincher for me, so I put in a Pierce floor plate and that solves it. While I do like my G30SF, I find that I shoot the thinner G36 even better
