The 30 is a compact model. It is about the same size as a 19. The 36 is a little bit smaller than the 30.

I don't think there would be that much of a difference if they had one between a 21 and a 30 size wise. A few guys have cut down the grip of a 21 to take 30 maqs. That would be nice. You would have the barrel length and sight radius of a 21 and the more concealable grip of a 30. It's alot easier to hide barrel length than grip length. Maybe this would be the model you are thinking of? Terry

Pretty much. The 36 is thinner as it's a single-stack, but I think other than that they're about the same size. If you have something to complain about, it would be the lack of a subcompact model in .45. That being said, I don't know why you'd want to shoot a 3" barreled polymer subcompact .45. That short of barrel with that light of a gun would be somewhat uncomfortable I would think. |

I haven't seen the chart at TopGlock but you are right. GLOCK calls the G30 a subcompact and the G36a subcompact Slimline. They do not have a compact model per se. I use the 9 round mags for deep concealment in the summer and the 10 round mags the rest of the year. The flush 9 rounder really conceals well and handles similar to a G26/G27; and with the 10 rounder in use it is slightly shorter than a G19 frame.

Internet rumor I am spreading: G30 was developed for civilian sales after the Clinton Ban. Why go bigger than 10 rounds back then?

I've never thought of the G30 as a subcompact. The G36 is due to it being thinner than a G26 and having a single stack mag. The G30 is about the size of a G19.

The magazine well is cut down to allow the use of smaller magazines. For example, a Glock 22 could be cut to take Glock 23 magazines. So on and so fourth |
