When the Glock 30 came out in 1996 I picked one up. Was like a brick in my waistband, making it difficult to conceal and would not feed SWC bullets. Sold it in 1999 to fund..............a Glock 36. THAT was the most unreliable Glock I ever owned and with its' very limited capacity it just didn't make sense. Went back to my 1911's.

FF to last year and back issues were making me consider something lighter in 45 ACP. So, I picked up a Glock 30S. It shoots well enough (never even attempted SWC's in it), but again it's a brick IWB. Wore it one night at a street fair and was fairly well crippled for the next week due to the resulting back pain.

So, there you have it. I am back to my 1911's and won't stray again.
