I'm in the same situation as you. I'm able to fit my G30S into my Galco King Tuck holster for 9/40/357 Glocks, but I'm finding it's definitely stretching it out and isn't holding my 40 cal Glocks as well. It will not fit in my ALS holsters for my 40s or my Incog for them. I'd say depending on the holster you can get away with 9/40/357 holsters, but others you'll need G30 holsters.

My 30s fits in my edc leather holster for my 26/19. my first concern was that it may stretch the holster. It appears to be a tighter fit.

The 30s won't fit in my kydex, kydex hybrid holsters, or my combat/sport holster for my nines.

I guess its time to start dropping some coin on new holsters again.

Sent from my smart phone which has no common sense.

My G30S fits well in my G26's CrossBreed holster. The Kydex is a fairly loose fit until you wear the holster, then the leather backing conforms to your body and contours into the pistol. Glock pistol + hybrid holster = great combination

I got tired of the guessing games. Bought a purpose built G30S holster from Blue Ridge. Worth every penny. I'll try and post some pics of it later in the thread I had made a month or so ago in the carry section of this site.

Before that I was using an old leather Uncle Mikes super belt slide holster. It worked great but is a thumb break holster. I didn't like not being able to reholster one handed.

Something I've found is the G30S fit's most Kydex holsters made for the G19, leather shouldn't be any different.

Unless you need it by tomorrow, buy something purpose built. There are differences in this gun vs a 36 or a 30 or a 30SF.

Especially when it comes to Kydex. Leather is obviously more forgiving IMO.

This is the Blue Ridge I ended up buying. The detail is amazing and it has adjustable tension. This model is OWB but can be converted to IWB. I don't carry IWB though.

Also, there are a couple good youtube vids about 30S holsters and trying to use whatever holster will fit. Might give you some more ideas.

The more precise the fit, the less chance that the Glock 30s will fit. Obviously, since it is thinner overall than a Glock 30, the 30s will fit in most Glock 30 holsters. However, I have not found this to be true with Glock 19/23 holsters. The Glock 30s will fit in some, but not all Glock 19/23 holsters. Obviously, leather will stretch a bit, but I have no interest in stretching out my Glock 19/23 holsters. However, I am comfortable putting my Glock 30s in my Mitch Rosen ARG which was made for my Glock 30 because the gun is thinner. Rather than make due, I simply went ahead and ordered a Raven Concealment Phantom holster for the Glock 30s and it fits perfect, like a glove. The 30s was a bit tight in my 19/23 Phantom and a bit loose in my 30 Phantom, by the way.
