Looking at getting into a G30 but really have no use for a light rail and would prefer not to have one at all. With that in mind I'm looking at getting a used Gen 2 but want to see if anyone knows if there were any issues with these that I should either know about, or be on the lookout for.

Thanks in advance.

i have no personal experience with one, but i have not heard of any issues concerning the Glock 30. in fact, i hear nothing but good reviews. i know you would rather not have the accessory rail (hence, the reason you're looking to get a Gen2), but if you want a new model you will have to settle for a Gen3. listen, just because the rail is there doesn't mean you automatically have to put a light on the pistol... if the need should arise, you could though. it's always good to have options so keep that in mind.

No. Mine is perfect. I did not want the rail specifically.

The issues circulate around the G30sf trigger bar. Google: "G30sf FTRB"

Bought one when they first came out and have carried it ever since. Never had a single hiccup out of it.

Good deal, thanks for all of the responses. I could not find much as far as issues online or anywhere else. As far as the rail goes and using it or not, I know I will not, especially on this pistol as it will be a CC for me. I carry a Streamlight as part of my EDC. Having the rail and not using it...that's fine for some, but I know for a fact I will never, and to me it just seems like something that is a potential extra snag point that can be avoided.

fair enough.

The only problem seems to be that G30 mags are hard to load and take some time to get the springs adjusted.

I  think the G30 you are referring to is actually a gen 2.5. and the only problems I know of are the possibility of frame rail breakage in the E series frames and issues with the magazines being difficult to fully load.

BTW my E series frame has never malfunctioned, so I am just going to run it till it breaks
