I like my G30, but I'm a bigger guy and have huge hands.

The 30 shoots much softer, like a full-size gun. It's rather thick though and tough for me to carry being somewhat skinny.

The 36 is rather snappy on the recoil, but it carries wonderfully. It's the thinnest Glock. Good for carry but that thin backstrap will bite into the web of you hand more than other models.

I only have the 36 anymore FWIW.

I have small hands and the 36 fit them just right.  It is a little beast but controllable if you know how to shoot properly.

There's just something reassuring about carrying something so concealable but packing 7 rounds of 45acp.

+1 for the G36.  To be fair, I don't have much trigger time on the G30 but I have plenty between the G17 and G36 (several thousand rounds through both).  The G36 is a bit tough to control, especially if you're not used to dealing with big recoil, but it's definatly managable, maybe even moreso for those of use with smaller hands. I've got the Wolff 21# recoil spring in mine and it snaps it right back on target.  Also wonderful to carry.

I prefer the G30.

IMO, the you don't really notice the extra width over the G36 when carrying it, but you do notice when shooting it because that extra width helps you get a much better grip on the gun. Plus, I can carry a G21 mag for a spare.

I carry mine in a Comp-Tac CTAC:

Just get the 30sf, I was looking at the 36 as well and I have normal to large hands and the 30sf fits perfectly.
