Glock 30s

[Barbarosa]

Excellent idea!

Just make sure your IA would allow such a modification if you plan on carrying it.

You can back-door a G30S. Buy a G30SF, then buy a G36 complete upper from Gunbroker. Put the G36 upper on the G30SF lower and voila!

The G30S is an excellent concealed carry gun. Especially for mag limited Kalifornia. It's basically the same size and weight as a 15+1 G19. It feels the same when carrying too. Much better than carrying a G30SF.

You wouldn't think that the slightly thinner G36 slide would make much of a difference, but it does.

Wondering if you ever did this yourself. From what I've read on the interwebs some have functionality/reliability issues, some do not.

I have a 30s, paid the California premium, etc. I Shot it once and decided it was not for me. Substantial recoil and muzzle blast. Certainly more than I like to shoot. Now a safe queen. To each his own I guess.

Looking to free the Queen? I'm looking for a 30s.

Because it has a larger grip area, I can get a better hold of the 30S than that of the 36, get a full eleven rounds of .45ACP, a decent trigger, and the reliability that goes along with Glock in general. I haven't compared the G30S to a lightweight 1911 commander-sized pistol (thinking Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry) as far as weight, but the overall envelope is similar in size.

Just curious why not a 30 or a 30sf?

I have a friend that did it. No problems whatsoever. Carries it often.

I sold my Glock 30 and went with a Sig Sauer P227 SAS. Same size, same weight, same number of rounds, but it is a lot more accurate and has a double action which I consider much safer than a Glock.

While I have not sold my Glock 30s, I too much prefer my Sig 227. Much more comfortable to shoot.

The P227SAS is 50% heavier than a G30S!!

20oz (G30S) vs 30oz (P227 SAS) (empty weights)


I have a P227 Carry model, and it is way heavier and larger than my G30S which I have on my permit. There is no comparison. The P227, even the Carry model, carries more like a full size gun and the G30S carries like a subcompact G26. In fact a G30S weighs less than 1oz more than a G26! (empty)

If the P227 Carry was anything near the same size and weight as a G30S I would swap it out on my permit in a nano second, for the reasons you mention. But it simply isn't.

People keep talking about a G30 but this thread is about G30S. People wondering what the difference is need to
1) Recognize
2) Stop, just stop - talking about G30 or G30SF

The G30/G30SF is a great gun but it is not a G30S. The difference may seem insignificant on paper but on the waist it is huge. The G30S is basically like a G26 in 45ACP.

I overlooked that factor. My Glock 30 was a snappy recoil, but the recoil on my P227 SAS is much more of a push than a snap.

This thread is about the Glock 30S; some here seem to be as confused as a counter-fool in the local Turners. If you ever want a chuckle, try explaining to them that it is not a 30SF, or a 30.
