So now that Glock has introduced the G30S, why would anyone bother to buy a G30?

It's heavier, thicker, and doesn't really offer any advantage that I can think of. I

wonder if they'll discontinue it. Anyone know a reason to get a standard 30 over the

30S? Doesn't make sense to me.

Glock has a couple of redundant .45acp pistols now.

The Gen 21, gen4 is basically the same pistol as the 21SF if you have the grip setup at its thinnest configuration.

There are some differences in grip texture and config,but not enough that it seems to make sense manufacturing both.

But what do I know?

I know I want Glock to quit screwing around with these .45's and make a single stack 9x19

Oh

And a line of pistol caliber carbines!!

 

Glock 30 handles the recoil a little better because of a little more weight , so Ive read yesterday.

Cant mess with Perfection! Lol!

Think I might get a g30s

I didn't consider it at first, but there are a lot of good things being said about it. It's supposedly a very significant difference over the standard 30. In terms of size and weight.

I havnt seen one yet, but I gotta tell you the regular 30 I shot is a very comfortable "soft" shooter

Id say it would be pretty nice with some G21 backup mags! I'd like one, too.

Looking at the.numbers on Glock's website its the same size overall and about 3.5 oz lighter. On a gun that's over 30 oz that's not a big difference.

I'm surprised it weights that much being as small as it appears with a polymer frame. Yeah 3.5oz is not a ton.

 

Edit: I just did a little google fu and seems the G30SF is around 20oz according to Glocks Website, so if the

30S is around 17 I'd say that is pretty light for a pistol that can hold 10 rounds of 45acp.

 

I think you were referring to loaded weight which for the 30 is at around 33oz.

Hickok45 just out out a video on the 30s.. he does mention how the 30 handles recoil better.
