I need me a Glock 30 sf
Had one a long time ago. The only Glock I’ve ever had that wouldn’t run. Best answer I ever got was that they had a run of them with manufacturing defects in the slide rails. In any event, Glock took it back at the factory and replaced it for me with a G19.

I think enough time has passed and my doubts over the model have faded. believe I’m going to jump back in the G30 pool.

I just picked up a Gen4 G30. Shoots great! Only a few hundred through it so far but no issues.

I bought one about 25 years ago. It was my first Glock. Never did care for it. It ran fine, but I couldn't shoot it worth a damn, so I sold it.

Nothing against Glock, as I have a 20, 21, and 36, and like them all.

Speaking of the 36, you might look at that instead of the 30. Four less rounds, but lighter. Great shooter IMO and conceals well.

The 30SF (or Gen 4, for that matter), carry very well. The reduction in the grip makes a big difference.

The 30s is a great shooter and carry gun. It handles the .45 well.

IIRC, with no grip adapter panel the Gen 4 30 and the 30 SF have the same circumference...seems like it was an old post on the "You Will Buy A Glock" thread.

ETA: this is correct, per the owner's manual available on-line (pg. 36).

P.S. I named my Gen. 4 30 "Heidi" several years ago after getting it. Wink No grip adapter on it, either.

I've never owned one (I have a Gen 4 G21), but apparently the G30SF's are wicked accurate.

Went to Massad Ayoob's MAG-40 class in NW Arkansas a few years ago. It was hosted by Nighthawk Custom. Many of their employees attended and ran some unbelievable 1911s during the course.

I ran a Gen 3 Glock 19 with OD frame. Ayoob ran a stock fixed sight Glock 30SF. During the final qualification for "Top Gun," he outshot us all with that $475 pistol and cheap-ass Winchester white box hardball from Wal-Mart.

And it wasn't even that close...

I know he's a great shot, but the G30SF itself is one heck of a capable pistol.
