Since I now own a Glock 30S and 45 ammo will be slower.

What is the go to round for compact 45acp guns?

I can't say whether it's the best, but I carry HST standard pressure in my 30S

There are some good options. Here are some test tesults from a  45 with a slightly shorter barrel: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/

I would also look at Gen 3 DPX, which should expand wider than the 185gr barnes.


Im into penetration so might use 230gr XTP+P but I think most would prefer the Ranger T or HST results above.

I carry HST in both my 30 and my AMT Backup.  The Backup has an even shorter barrel.  No failures on either.

I had no issues with the +P but it is significantly more snappy than the standard pressure IMO in the 30S

I carry the 230 Grain Short Barrel load in my 3" Kimber.

Chronographs at 805 fps.

When I carry a .45 (G30SF), I carry standard pressure Gold Dot or HST, both 230 grain.

I finally got a chance to shoot my new 30s. The only +P rounds I had on hand were Critical Duty and they were pretty snappy but very manageable.

I got a few boxes of HST 230g +P and hope to try them out this weekend
