What are you talking about? Link?
Nevermind. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/01/08/the-new-glock-30s/ What an utter fucking disappointment. Once again, no single stack 9, and no carbine. Instead, we get this. People are moving AWAY from .45 because of the ammo cost, not towards it. |

Ugh, I am a complete Glock lover through and through, but man they are really missing out by not putting out a slim 9mm. Not my choice but people would freak out if they out one to market. Glock always claims "there wouldn't be a market", yet they put out a slim slide 30 ithat is about 3 years too late fr the market.
C'mon Glock, pull your head out and get that 9mm to market. |

I would rather have a .45ACP pistol on a 19/23 frame. They already make a .45GAP on that frame in the 38 model, why not use that frame for the .45ACP?
I know the 30 is close to the same size, but they cut the frame off to short for my liking. I prefer to get a full hand grip on the pistol instead of relying on a magazine extension for my pinky finger. I don't know what is holding Glock back from entering the single stack 9mm market though. That would most likely be a slam dunk for them since every manufacturer out there is entering that market with great or general success. |

A frame designed for the cartridge on the left won't be large enough for the cartridge on the right. |
Dissappointment?
This could very well be the start of a new line of glocks and you want to bash it? 
If a ban does pass, this will be the hottest gun on the streets. The G30 is just "that much" too thick to make an EDC for most people like the G19 does. If a ban doesn't pass, it will still be a winner. |

Hmm...... Didn't know that. I still don't understand why they couldn't add one more finger groove to the 30 to give it 3 instead of 2 with the mag extension plate acting as the 3rd. |

Ok, so maybe I'm not exactly a handgun visionary. It all looked so good in my mind though. I guess i just have one screwed up mind.

The Glock 30 has 9rd flush fit magazines, so I don't mind it having an abbreviated grip for that. The Glock 36 is the one that makes no sense to me. Glock should either make a 5rd magazine or extend its grip. |

Do what you are proposing in a single-stack slim line, and you have a customer 
Basically a big G36 |

Basically a big G36 Many in LE (here locally) have been wanting a single stack .45 in either G21 or G30 size for years, with the G36 capable of accepting the magazines so that it could be used as a paired BUG. Still waiting...

Didn't know that. I still don't understand why they couldn't add one more finger groove to the 30 to give it 3 instead of 2 with the mag extension plate acting as the 3rd. You mean exactly like the +1 extension, or the standard capacity Pearce replacement floor plate like I use on my G29? G30 10+1 rd. 
G29 10+1rd.
