I have a 21 on the way and I have a Kahr PM9 so I already have 9 and 45 ammo.  There is only a 4oz difference in weight.  Which one to go for?  A soft shooting 45 or a great 9mm?  Or should I get a G17 or Beretta 92?  Life is so confusing.

Get the 30SF.  Granted, with the 19 you get 5 more rounds, but 45 ACP is the way to go, for CCW.  I have the 30, and carry it quite regularly.

Get the pinnacle of Glock's IMO, the G19.

I have both, and I carry one or the other regularly. When carried in same model holsters, I really cannot tell which one I have on my side. Get whichever you like better. 11 rounds of .45 in a great package, or 16 rounds of 9mm in a great package. I love both of them. In fact, I have 3 19s, and 2 30s. One is an SF.

Whichever one I don't buy now, I will buy for Christmas.

Get the 30.  You can share mags with the 21 (the long ones, that is, the 21 mags.)

I will only ever use glocks in 9 and 10 millimeter. The other calibers seem to have a disproportionately high rate of issues of one kind or another.

Further, I am quite comfortable with the thought of fighting with a 9mm, and ammunition costs half as much.

The G19 is the best Glock made. Period.

I'll make my choice when I go to the funshop on Wednesday.

There are advantages/disadvantages to both but they are both excellent, very capable handguns. I've owned both. Either way you cant go wrong.

FWIW I sold off my 30 a while back due to the cost of ammo for it. I have a 17 and 19 now. As long as it's a Glock, you can't lose.

i was just trying to decide between a 36 ans a 30SF and ended up going with the 26...at first i wanted to stick with 45acp but the 26 felt so good in my hand and is small light and holds 10...also i figure as long as i have good ammo it will do the job if ever called upon...and with a lighter recoil i can get multiple accurate shots off...

If you are going to consolidate to one caliber ONLY, and already have 2 .45s...then definitely stick with the .45

Otherwise get the 9mm.

I have a 19 and 30(not sf) and I carry the 19 daily.

I have a 9mm and a 45 already.  If I don't buy one, now, I will buy the other later.  If I get the 30SF, I may even just get a 17.  I just need a mid size carry option and I already have plenty of 9mm and .45 ammo.

You'll need to flip a coin then.

G17.  Great pistol.  Or, G23.   Great pistol!  Sometimes, I can't decide which to carry!

If you've already had everything then what is the question again??  .45 vs 9mm...115+115=230....a 9mm will always expand but a .45 will never shrink.

Just my 2 cents though....

I bought the 30SF but my friend said he'd give me his 19 if I don't like it enough.

The 9 mm may not expand, but the .45 won't get any smaller.

11 rounds is plenty.

Go with the 30.

I bought the SF, didn't care for it and swapped it with my buddy for his 19.

Huh...I'm getting rid of my 19 now and may get a 30SF.
