Glock 30s...First Range Shoot

[Erion929]

Currently I carry a Walther PPS M2 (single stack 9mm, 7+1) and a Glock 26 (double stack 9mm, 10+1). I wanted to see if I liked 45acp as a carry option...researched and finally located a Glock 30s, which is off roster.

The 30s has the 30SF frame and a slide equivalent to the smaller/thinner G36 slide.....the slide being about 1/8" thinner and 3oz. less than the 30SF slide.

Well, the 30s is basically the same size as the little 26....and you get 10+1 of 45acp in a CCW!!





Laid 26 on top of the 30s, the 30s just has a 1/2" longer barrel:




First 10 shots @10 yds:




20 shots @10 yds:




Another string:




The gun was solid, flawless, and accurate...I shot it as accurately as I can shoot 9mm. Today's ammo was Blazer Brass 230gr. and Remington UMC 230gr. Recoil is there, but manageable....not harsh and not real jumpy. I'm 5'9" and 145 lbs. and it was fine to shoot

I think this is going to go on the carry license

Nice shooting!

It's refreshing seeing pistol targets that don't look like 100y-Mini14 targets.

Very nice shooting.

It is one of my favorite carry guns, I have a lot of confidence in it. And like the OP competently shows - it puts rounds on target.

As noted, it is barely bigger than a G26 especially when using the 9rd mag.

Here is mine with a 9rd mag, Ameriglo Spartan sights, Beltman elephant hide gunbelt, and a Nigthingale Leather custom Raptor IWB holster w/full grain liner + elephant hide loops and reinforcements.

This is why if prefer the G30 for carry. I have an older one that I bought new about 15 years ago and even better with no rail.
Very accurate and never any FTF, SP etc.

Nice shooting. Especially with the progressive increase in rounds fired while maintaining the group. I was going to ask about recoil, as you are slinging rather heavy rounds through such a small frame but you answered that question nicely.

I see the holster in the photo. At what range was this allowed and did they also allow rapid fire as well? (possible the holster was used just for the photo) Thanks!

For some reason I have a hard time holding on to the 30s. After every shot, I have to re-adjust my grip. No problems with the 30 in Gen 4 though. Must be the grip texture of the 30s not being aggressive enough for me.

Oh, and great shooting!

The G30 has a solid reputation for shooting above it's weight class. Nice.

30sf is my only 45 and i love it. Wish i could have found a 30S for a decent price. Only thing i changed on mine were trijicon HDs and an agency arms trigger since the stock serated trigger tore my finger up. Oh and a grip force adaptor so that it points closer to thw rest of my guns
