Just as the title says. Anyone have a sub compact glock in .45 acp that I could possibly run a few rounds through. I think this is going to be my first purchase when I make it to Florida, would like to test it out before I shoot it.

Does glock make a double stack?

Matt- I think they are all single stack. But Look at the compact G30 and compare the dimensions. 9 rounds of goodness. Now you're not built to heavy so with the Hawiian shirt you'll be wearing in Florida I'm sure you won't print the larger pistol.

Glock 30, 10 round mag. Can also use 13 rounders from a Glock 21 (full size)

Glock 30 is a double stack...maybe also look at the .45GAP 37,38,39?

Thanks- Couldnt tell from the site.

 

BTW rethink your GLOCK armorer status. I read the book. Evil company, evil people, good pistols...

Out of all the training and classes I have taken, I can honestly say, that was by far my favorite.

I'm definitely going to have to get both of them in my hands. With the limited carrying that I've done with my 1911 CBOB which is a 4.25 slider with a bobbed grip it is extremely comfortable to carry. I'm still working out a good carry position, but overall I like it. Just curious what a shorter slide and frame would do for me. I already have a full size XD in .45 so that takes care of the HD for me.

 

Thanks for the tips guys, I will have to check them out

Good luck

What book??....care to.lend it?

 

I think he's referring to this book by Paul Barrett. It recently got some mainstream media coverage on NPR.

When I went out to buy a 30 or 36 I was undecided. I laid the 36 on top of the 30 and the 36 is only a wee bit smaller. I bought the 30. Not enough to make any difference carrying AFAIC. 50% more capacitythan the 36 with the option of 21 mags making it over 200% more capacity.

This is exactly the way I feel about the G26 and G19.

+1 Frank,,Exactly why I got the 19 over the 26 I was originally looking at, and am very glad I did.

Yeh Harry- I have both and I generally take the G19. Even if I take the G26 I take a spare G19 mag.

RTSP rents a G30... you can try theirs.

Same here. Too many people pay attention to an inch or less in gun dimensions and think this will make all the difference in the world.

Thats why I roll with the 19 and 26. Best 1-2 combination in the world. 26 with flush magazine for 10 then a 19 mag with 15. 25 rounds right in a nice neat package.

At the risk of getting crap for posting in a glock thread...

 

If you are considering a subcompact glock I would highly recommend waiting on the XD-slimline. Best new pistol of 2012 IMO.

I am interested to see how it feels. Not a bad suggestions though.
