Gen 4 G30 issues?


So now that it's been a few years now that they've been out, what's the story on the Gen 4 G30?

Any known issues to watch out for? Any trigger bar issues, or frame problems like a lot of the G30SF had? :(



This is going to be my first Gen 4 gun after a lot of gen 3 guns, so I just want to know what to look out for.

Thanks -

Eric

I like mine. In 500 rounds, I had one double-feed. Not sure of the cause. I've dropped a Glocktriggers Guardian trigger into it (with the dot connector), which I think made a big difference over the stock trigger. (In contrast, I found the stock trigger on my G19, Gen3 to be much better right out of the box. Now, they're comparable.)

What was the issue with the factory trigger that you changed it?

Thanks -


PS - I'm starting to notice most of my 9mm Glocks seem to have better triggers than my .45 Glocks do also right out of the box. All of mine are gen 3 guns though.....................

Eric, you going with the NY-1 trigger? I changed the triggers on the 19/26/30s to the Evo Elite. It removes the wall before the break and I had the reset shortened but not as light as a SA trigger. I also left the stock 5.5# firing pin spring in it. I just didn't like the stock trigger.

Edited for accuracy.

I also left the stock 5.5# trigger spring in it.
Do you mean trigger spring, or firing pin spring?

The only coil trigger spring that Glock makes is 5.0-lbf.

The only firing pin spring that Glock sells in North America is 5.5-lbf.

So...trigger spring and 5.5-lbf do not line up together in any OEM spring.

I more than likely will run a factory negative 4.5 connector and NY1 in it only b/c I do NOT believe in using aftermarket parts in my Glocks, and two, b/c I have run this setup in all my Glocks for about the last 20 years or so and am totally accustom to it at this point.

Understood and agree. Stay with has worked for you in the past and are accustomed to. I just got into Glock recently and went with the Ghost. BTW, the guy that started Ghost is a customer of my LGS and I have had a few conversations with him. Nice guy.

Hope the 30 G4 works out better than the 30SF.

I AM the OP and I don't see where that is what I am looking for in asking if a design update that is a few years old now has any of the teething issues that the previous design had for some time it was first introduced?


Your statement does not make sense in relation to my inquiry?
