Pestered my local Cabela's for the past few months and finally tracked this down. G30 S in .45!

You're gonna luv it...


I like the Pearce base plates, bought them on Amazon.
The stock ones pinch my little finger a bit..

First Range Day today...LOVED IT!!!!

Just got back from the LGS....with a Gen 3 G19.

I have been assimilated.

I gave in and bought a Gen 4 19. Absolutely no regrets. Very easy to shoot this pistol well.

Yep, I bought a Glock, years ago. It bulged a bunch of my brass and ruined a expensive pair of sun glasses by putting a few cases per magazine right down slide into the center of my shooting eye. Sold it 15 years ago, and never looked back.
Sorry, but I had to chime in after seeing this post for so long.

So what yer saying is you are in the market for a new Glock? That's what I'm hearin'.

Interestingly, I too also see this thread on going. My experience is opposite, I originally joined this forum because I bought a TacOps 9MM 226. Then slightly after this, and reading this thread, I checked out a Gen 4 Glock and bought it immediately, then right after another. So now I have a Gen 4 23 and 34, and also a KelTec and JRC carbines in matching calibers using the same Glock mags, up to 33 rounds in 9MM. The 226 never got shot and it was sold to somebody here. So you never know, maybe a Sig again, but for now I have plenty of Glock and S&W, and am now into shot guns.

I have had few over years and sold them and keep coming back to the glock 19. Just picked up a gen 4 glock19 at the blue label price hard to go wrong. That being said they will never replace my sigs!!!

Bought a Gen 4 G26 for the wife today and the LGS had a 30s in stock so I grabbed it for myself. Being in the magical state of NY I can't actually take possession until I get them put on my permit Monday but they'll be waiting for me to pick them up.

Went to the range today with my G 19,23,26,36. Left the G17 and G21 home. I have come to the conclusion the Glock platform is all I need. I shot my Romy AK SBR also and have decided Glocks are the AK's of the pistol world, built like a tank.

My first full size Glock I picked up over the weekend. Feels great in my hand compared to my Gen 3 G19 and G36. The trigger also feels light, smooth, and crisp compared to the mushy, spongy triggers of my Gen 3 Glocks.

You guys with your Gen 4s really have me thinking.
I traded a Gen 3 G19 because it just didn't fit in my hand.
Love my Gen 2 Glocks.
I might just have to pick up an Gen 4 G17 G19 and/or G26..

The Gen4 17 changed everything for me and Glocks. I was all Sig until that gun. Since getting that gun I've had a Gen4 19 as well and am looking at the 30.

I still claim the WGerman 228 as my favorite gun, but the Gen4's sure are nice.

Yes, I once owned several Sigs, but now only have my WGerman P226.

While researching the G30 please consider the G30S.
They only make it in Gen 3 right now, but those Gen 3 grooves don't bother me like they did on the G19.
G30S has the thinner G36 slide and G30SF frame on it and it makes a very nice 45ACP carry pistol..

This may sound crazy but I own a G36 and just bought a G30sf frame on Gunbroker. I can have the choice of the thinner G36 or the higher cap of the G30 ( even higher with G21 mags). I owned an original gen 3 G30 sf but the slide looked so damn wide I had to sell it. I think this will be perfect.

Put the G36 slide on the 30 frame and then you will have something special...
Congrats...

I did the opposite, kinda.

I bought a G30S, and just for shits and giggles, bought a G36 frame on GB.
I found I really didn't like the thinner grip of the G36 and the G36 mags pinched my little finger.
I'm much too precious to have that happen..

Ended up selling the G36 frame.
I would dare say when you run that G36 slide on your SF frame, you won't go back to your G36 frame..
There really wasn't that much difference in carrying either or.
10 +1, sure beats 6 +1, unless you're carrying in NY.

I know guys were doing just that, making their own G30SF/G36 hybrids before Glock finally came out with the G30S..

Glocks are ugly. I have to admit though that the G35 I have sure is a shooter. Almost like a laser gun as far as accuracy goes.

Glocks are among the ugliest handguns in the world, yet I have a NIB G19, SF G20, G26 and the ugliest one of all, a G30. Why do I do this to myself when Sigs and any 1911 are so beautiful? It's because (here we go again) they were built from the ground up to work. It's because they shoot when the other handguns might not. It's because I hit what I'm shooting at when I don't always do that with other handguns. It's because they will shoot thousands of rounds with little or no oil and -- I can't stand it -- there are only 34 (or is it 35?) parts. Oh, yeah, other guns are prettier and I own them too. I take them out and fondle them late at night, but if I was going into a firefight where my life depended on it, Gaston Glock's creation from back in the early '80s would be the one in my hand.
