Great gun.
Basically the same dimensions as the 19, just a bit thicker. I just got a Sidearmor IWB holster yesterday and carried under a untucked t-shirt for half of the day. Concealed and carried well. I've thought about picking up 36, but probably won't now. Get one, you'll love it. Steve |

I was there also...carried a G19 ccw and/or G26 for about ten years. Changed to a G30 about two years ago. Here is what my experience is... The G30 is a nice shooter. Had to buy new holsters. Other than the Uncle Mike softside, nothing that would fit my 19/26 would fit the 30. Milt Sparks is the best I have seen for ccw. 30 is thicker than the 19 and profiles a bit more than the 26 for sure. I have switched back to 19 and 26 during the summer for occasions I used to like bringing the M3 light with the 19 when at hotels. I do miss the rail with the 30 but I love having 10 rounds of .45. Good luck

I also carry a G19... was looking into a new .45 carry gun and was considering the same thing... until I came accross a LEO trade in G20... had to have it... put it on lay away.
Still plan on the G30 too... probably around the first of the year. |

Carried my G30 for the first 5 yeaars of CCW. Then I renewed my permit and added all of my pistols. Tried carrying all of them, including my new G26 and the wife's G19. After about 3 months of playing with carry options I have found that, for me, the G30 is the best carrying gun I own (with the execption of the G26 for deeper concealment). I am totally happy with it and now all of my other pistols have gone back to languishing in the safe.

I carry a G30 and wouldn't carry anything else. If you want more rounds, use a G21 mag = 13 rounds vs 10, however this may affect the concealability.

I have a 30 and a 23 and carry the 30 most of the time in a Sidearmor IWB. They are a little thicker but still carry pretty well. Nice to shoot, the recoil isn't bad, accurate, all you could ask for.

I hope I didnt make a mistake!! Aftter a little more thought I went with the 27. Ill most likely get the 30 down the road. But I figure practice with the 26 and carry the 27. Does this sound right?:)

Go with what feels most comfortable for you. I have the 19 and and a 22. I got the model 30 a couple of months ago from a seller on Glocktalk and have not regretted it. It is a bit more to hold than the 19 and while it's a bit more to control under fire than the 9mm it is not tough to get used to quickly. The only downside is it's a bit thicker to conceal. I was surprised the first time out to the plate range with it cause I kept it on target better than any of my 1911s. It was like shooting a far more potent model 19.

I also have a 26. It's my summer/deep concealment gun.
In colder weather, I'm happy to break out the 30. Plan on picking up some 13rd mags for it for and carry that as a spare mag. Might also get another 13rd mag & add a +2 to it for fun! Brad |

I really like the G30 very accurate and a great gun for a tactical vest.

With all this response for the glock 30 maybe I should have gotten that first! Well it just gives me something to look forward to. Ill definately get the G30 next. I went with the 27 because the 26 seems to work so well for me. I must be strange I happen to shoot the 26 better than my 19. One can never have too many glocks anyway :)
