Just got a new to me Glock 30.3. What does the hive think about this pistol. Love the compact frame and ability to use Glock 21 mags. I think I'm gonna like this pistol. I love my model 21.

I LOVE my Glock 30S  

30's ok too though.

30s has a 36 slide on it right. Makes the top skinnier.

It does. Makes it a tad bit snappier. Carries better though.

carried the 30 for 12 years....shoots better than anything carry sized I've ever own rented or borrowed

I love mine!  Plan on buying a second one too.



I would advise getting the Pearce base plates for every mag...it will save you from pinky-pinch.

Mine was bought in protest to L.A.'s ban on small handgun sales.  Goes bang every time.  Can't ask for more of any handgun.

Ten round mag is different(taller) from the 9rnder, I believe the base plate lockup is different also.

I put a smooth shoe on the trigger bar factory Glock night sights, $57, ghost ranger connector/6# trigger spring, maritime cups and vickers mag release. Oh and a Glock OEM ext slide lock lever. GT sells the factory night sights at price.  Got a G21 trigger bar on order too replace the makeshift one.

Welcome to the Club.  I have a Mepro front and black serrated Amerglo rear.  I did the smooth trigger shoe as well but stock other than that.  9rd Mags are great as a deep carry option.  They are great shooters.

Glad it seems like I got a winner for a pistol. I love my 21 so I'm sure I'll love this one.

Anyone know where to get a 9 round mag seem to be discontinued? Are there feeding issues with them?

I bought mine on my 21st birthday. Just over 16 years later, I still love it. I had an extended slide release for a time that caused the only malfunctions I've ever had (failure to lock back after the last round).

Truth. Firing .45 Federal Hydrashok was surprisingly fatiguing through my G30S. I would love to see it offered in a Gen4 frame. Actually, I would love to see it offered in a single stack Gen4 frame with no finger grooves about the size of a 19 with an 8+1 capacity.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?

I added this connector and after filing the overtravel bar
It's amazing. Would you carry this connector with a 6# trigger spring.

Mine has never gone bang when I've told it to, not one miss feed & I've shot pretty much everything through it.

Have a few G30s. A couple G21s. A fairly nice 1911.

The G30 is the most fun to shoot.

A compact 45 shouldn't be that fun to shoot.

I've had my Glock 30G3 for about nine years now.  Sold all my Sig Sauer P220 and ended up with the Glock 30.  It is a fun gun to shoot, very accurate, and I enjoy the size.  About the same size as my Glock 19G3.

Yah I like this pistol. Put that 3.5 ghost connector in. Has a 4.5 in before and the trigger feels good now. I thing the stock frame pistols feel heavier with the large frame pistols?

Very nice. I like my g30 and 36 a lot more than the 21

I like the 30 a lot but I have to admit I really love my 37. It's awesome to be able to shoot 45 bullets in a small frame pistol. I am more accurate with the GAP. I will probably like a single stack 36 too. It just feels right in your hand.

I really love the 9 round mags. Got two today. Also bought a SF frame as well. I'm going to sell the frame I decide not to use. Or I might build a G29!
