30s frame is same as your Gen 4 without backplate just shorter.
And your 21 mags will be just fine without adapters. |

The .45's are thicker than 9mm's. Your wife might like a G26 or G43 instead.

Has your wife shot a 30S yet? Did she pick this pistol or did you? I am going to give you a piece of advice that may save you time and money. Let her pick her pistol and caliber or you may end up with a pistol she does not carry or shoot. Keep your opinions and influence out of the mix and let her arrive at her choice with guidance and opinions when she asks for them.

Edgecrusher gives good advice... Let your wife have solid input on what she carries. My wife chose a 4" 686 over everything else presented. She had issues with FTE and FTF with g19 and M&P9c sized autos.
Also.. I've read that the 30S fits G19 holsters... Is this true? Been pondering one for myself. |

A tad thicker than my G19, but shoots pretty similar. Just a touch more recoil.
Fits in non-kydex G19 holsters fine. |

The biggest folly most of us guys can do and I was guilty of this in the past is pick the pistol for your SO. What happens 98% of the time is she ends up not carrying it but will only shoot it at the range because she feels like she has too. Mine loves the G43 and honestly she can shoot it better than I can. It fits her hand, recoil is nothing, and can lay shots on top of each other repeatedly with the pistol. |

If you shoot them a lot with the regular 30S mag you're likely gonna get the pinky pinch. I've not known anyone who put a lot of rounds through the 30S in one session that didn't get the small pinch blister on the pad of their pinky finger.

I have a 30 gen 4. For the record my wife will not shoot it. She hates it.
However she loves her 43 and even my 19. My advice is get your wife to shoot one before you buy, if she hasn't already. |

Everyone has different size hands, and even if they are the same size, everyone has a personal preference for how a gun feels in their hand. How are we supposed to know what you or your wife are going to consider OK in your hands?

30s feels good and in my hands and in between 200 to 300 rounds I don't get a pinch however my wife and a buddies wife didn't care for the 30s. I didn't get too much of a reason why I just assume they are a lot more picky about every detail working for them and me, not so much. |

It's a small pistol shooting a 45acp. Some folks aren't comfortable with that. I don't have the 30S anymore but I have two 30s. My wife wont go near them. They are too thick for her hands. |
