Good morning Glock Talk - from noob Glock owner
Good morning Glockers.
Fun website you have here. Lots and lots of great info. Love Ayoobs forum.
For my first Glock I bough a G30. Should come in in about a week. Was looking for gen4 but no one had them. There still seems to be a lot of gen3's in the pipeline so I bought one of those. But most of what I read about the gen4 G30 has been favorable. Was really hoping to land one.
I decided on the G30 because I wanted a small .45 carry with a decent capacity, to alternate with or maybe replace with my P99c 9mm. Will have to see how it shoots and carries. 8 rounds would have been acceptable, 10 is excellent.
Looking forward to some informative Glock Talk browsing sessions.

Greetings meo - ordered the grip extensions (and two magazines) from Glockmeister.com. Have the extensions on the P99c and it helps me get a better grip. Still looking around for something to put on the grip to help with traction. But figured I would shoot the G30 for a while and see if it is really necessary.
Thought that I saw a few posts around here talking about the gen 4.

10? You forgot the +1 in the chamber. Glocks absolutely will not fire unless the trigger is fully depressed: Glocks are technically and legally defined as DAs. So feel safe knowing you can bring 11 with you everywhere you go.
I love my G30 more than my Gen4 17.
Remember, for your backup mags (spares you keep in the house, car, wherever) you can get a G21 (full sized .45) mag, get a grip sleeve and have 13+1 and get a +2 mag extension and have 15+1. See photo for example:
Welcome to the fray... It gets fun.

From what I've heard, Gen4 G30s are Blue Label only right now (Active Duty Mil/LEO/first responders and GSSF members).
But I may be wrong.

Thanks PettyOfficer - yes I have read that the G21 mags will fit. And yes I was planning on 10+1 although I have read that due to spring compression a full magazine with 10 rounds will not seat easily in the G30. The recommendation is to carry 10+1 and 9 in any back up mags. Or as you suggest, G21 mags, if they are legal in your state.
G30 coming at end of week -

Hey all. Fired the G30SF today - first 40 rounds went down range without a hitch. All hollow points. About 35 Winchester WB 230gr jhp, a couple Hornady 230gr +P xtp's, a Speer 230gr +P and a Remington jhp round I had leftover.
I shot two targets at 50 feet. First twenty rounds off a rest on the first target. No casings to the head. Nice smooth shooter. No hand or finger bite anywhere that I noticed.
Once I decide on an SD round for it I'll put a couple hundred through it. Barring any problems it will probably replace the P99c 9mm as my primary carry.
Need to start thinking about a decent iwb holster. I usually appendix carry around 1 oclock.
