Hello,
I've read a bunch of threads over the years, but found one that a member claimed Glock said the internal parts on a G30 were different from those on a G29, and they couldn't handle the power of the 10mm round.
In my other reading, I don't remember any discussion about internal parts differences in the frame, but it is logical that the ejector might be different.
However, I don't remember anything being mentioned as different.
Now, the slides- yes, the extractor is different and the slide is different [due to width of breech face on slide, at least].
My understanding was that the only parts to really be concerned with if running 10mm in a G30 were the extractor and the recoil spring assembly [which is recommended to change, but has the same part number from Glock]. If running a 10mm slide/top end, then there was nothing to be concerned with. [beyond mags, of course]
I don't recall any other parts being of different structural integrity.
Is my memory right? or what did I miss?
I figure we may have more insight after a few years of people running 10mm barrels in .45acp Glocks [be they conversion or OEM dimension 10mm].
Thank you in advance.
