10 mm conversion barrel is the best mod. you could do and sights of course.

 

had my Glock 30 gen.3 for a bunch of years. Pistol came with Glock night sights. Other than sights I don't see any options I want, Invest in different holsters, Galco Miami Clasoc is a good 1. Enjoy your 30.

 

I love mine and the .45acp platform. i think mine is a gen 3 - I did sights and got some 21 mags and an aliengear iwb.
I also have an 30SF NIB never shot (raffle win). I can't really tell them apart.

 

I have a 30s. I added sights and got rid of the finger grooves. They just don't work with my hand at all. 10 rounds of .45 ACP in basically the same size as a Glock 19
It works for me.

My Gen 3 has been a great ccw over the years, pretty much still stock

 

Like mine.

 

They’re fine pistols, they’ve just always felt blocky to me.

 

Agreed. I've been waiting for a slim slide, 4th gen frame for awhile....
If they can make the Glock 41 slide so slim... why not the G30?
Carry it with a flush fit, 9 round mag... that'd be my carry gun!

 

I like my 30.4 as well. Got it as an unissued police trade-in, so it came with factory night sights. Good-to-go with no additional mods.

 

I really like the OEM nine round magazines. You lose around but they fit flush.

 

Love my 30SF. Been on my hip for 6 years and counting.

 

had my g3 g30 for 10 years.

 

I've had my G30 for about 15 years. All I've done to it is to replace the factory sights with Trijicon night sights and install a Talon rubber grip. Oh, I forgot to mention that this one is designated for home protection and it carries an older Streamlight.

 

I carried a G30 for years and loved it but it was too thick to carry in warm weather. I got a G36 and have carried that ever since. Yes, I sacrifice 3-4 rounds (I used to carry my G30 with the flush 9 round mag) but I carry it all the time.

 

It doesn't need any mods. The Gen 4 with the standard backstrap is the same as the Gen 3 SF which was the one thing the original G30 needed because it 's so chunky. The addition of a G36 slide would be nice, essentially duplicating the G30s.

Don't mess with the trigger. Just buy ammo and learn to shoot the gun. sights are a good upgrade, however. I like the Glock factory night sights.

 

I was well served with the one that I had. Gen 3 and added a 10mm conversion package for when I was out in country with toothy critters. Never failed and was accurate to boot. Only reason I don't still have it I just decided to go a different route away from Glocks.

 

Glock 30 -- anybody like these?

I do.

I like the Glock 30, gen4 I don't see a lot of mods for them? any suggestions?

I have a generation 3 Glock 30 SF. Mine is completely stock. It is a very complete package right out of the box. Since reliability is key in an auto pistol, I am not very keen on modifications. If you swap springs or barrels 1) I have to ask why and 2) I would advise taking it to the range and putting 500 error free rounds through it. So, I don't take modifications lightly.
Some people like to put high visibility sights on them and this seems like a good idea.
Otherwise, just take it to the range and get good at shooting it.

 

Personally I only really like 9mm Glocks, but the G30 is still a popular carry gun

 

Don't want to high jack the thread but, if someone can post pictures of difference between G30s and G30sf I would appreciate it. I can only find a difference in the weight of the two guns, on the Glock US website.

The biggest difference between the G30SF and the G30s is the width of the slide and when you comp0are them side by side the difference is obvious.

However, when comparing the standard G30 frame to the SF frame, the difference is not so visually obvious but the difference in the way each gun feels in your hand is YUGE. A slight decrease in trigger reach can make all the difference in the world for many people and while ity's easy to adjust for too short of a trigger reach, it's impossible to adjust to too long of a trigger reach.

What the G30s does is combine the best of all worlds in terms of concealment and matches up the SF frame with the narrower slide.

 

Mine is a gen 3 and came with a barrel that would lead up tremendously with my reloads so I swapped out the barrel for a KKM and that proved to be a wise choice. I added Tru Glo sites and some springs and connector to get it where I wanted it plus my own grip decal.

It is a favorite shooter of mine and is more accurate that I even thought it could be. It would get carried more if there were less shooters in the safe waiting for their turn. I wouldn't be without a G30.

 

I've had the 30SF for several years and have several thousand rounds through it at this point. Possibly the more accurate of my G-17 & G-19s. Great gun but as someone said pretty blocky for CCW, but definitely doable , especially if you're a big guy (6'3" / 230).

Ironically I had it at the range today, and experienced a blown out case (at the base). Quite the surprise! The blast blew apart the magazine, broke the mag release, and blew one-half (L & R) of the trigger off the gun. Otherwise the gun looks OK, although I need to disassemble and inspect it closely. I'm giving the Glock high marks today, especially since I still have all my fingers.

My thought is the cause is one of two that you are already thinking about

. It was not a squib, which was my first thought, because I clearly remember seeing the previous bullet on the target, and the bore was clear afterwards. That leaves an over loaded round or bad brass. I'm awfully anal about checking powder levels (yes, this was my own reload). Still, I can't absolutely rule it out. The brass was a CBC headstamp, and other than tight primer holes I haven't faulted these in the past. Again ironically, I have just sorted my loaded ammo to separate all the "off brand" brass to shoot and not recover (CBC, CCCP, Aquila, S&B, etc.). This was the lot of ammo I was shooting today. Not saying that this is bad brass, but I generally don't have a lot of it and I have been getting a lot of tight primers with much of this brass so I though I would just shoot it up and get rid of it.

Glasses saved my eyes, and I only got a couple of nicks in the face, and small cuts on my R thumb and R index finger, along with blood blisters on my finger and thumb, (I think from the blast coming through the gap between slide and the lower receiver). I'll try to post a couple of pics.

Edit: BY THE WAY does anyone know how to disassemble the Glock when the trigger in inoperative and the striker won't fall. (Working on Google now.). Thanks.

 

Love mine...anyone have a 10mm barrel for the conversion? Looks like stormlake is discontinued

I have a G3 30 and I now have a 29 slide on it. I like it better than my 29.4.

They’re fine pistols, they’ve just always felt blocky to me.

Me too. Even the G30s. I actually think the G27 in 40 caliber is a better choice for concealed carry.

Comparing the G27 with the G30, similar ballistics, more compact gun. As far as I'm concerned the only ballistic edge the 45 has over the 40 is with the 230 grain Plus +P loads. Comparing 40 caliber 180 grain loads to 45 caliber 185 grain loads, it's a toss-up, and it doesn't get much better than the Federal 180 grain HST in the 40.

 

I have a G30 Gen 4 and a G30S. I love them both and carry the G30S on duty and off duty sometimes. It’s also evolving into my woods-bumming gun.

Although I carry the G30S much more, if I could only keep one, it would likely be the G30 Gen 4. because I shoot it very slightly better, and I could convert it to 10mm if I chose. But that 30S does carry much better.

 

I understand the rationale identified by some who prefer 10mm or hot 9 etc.
I prefer the less sensitive loads and lower pressures of the 45 acp. I did
find someone who wanted to unload ther 400 corbon reloading gear so I
grabbed that and have been satisfied. I'm not one to chase the ballistics
numbers and just happy for reliable, reloadable and consistent accuracy
with the stuff I have. If I can hit the target under varying conditions,
I leave it be.
