The Gen 3 30S had an "S" after the 30, on the slide. Why doesn't the Gen 4?

 

30, 30SF, Gen 4 30, Gen 3 30S.

Is that correct?

 

cowboy is correct

 

This is my next purchase!

 

...must be left handed using an iPhone because the photos are upside down, happens to me all the time

congratulations on the 30sf

The 30S has a slide that is reduced in size compared to the other model 30 Glocks. The Gen4 30SF still has the original Model 30-sized slide.

 

Technically speaking, there isn't a Gen4 G30SF. The G30SF is Gen3 only and marked with "SF" on the right side of the frame forward of the slide lock. The recently announced G30S pistol bears the SF mark of the Gen3 G30SF frame too. However, the OP's new pistol, the Gen4 G30 is marked with "MBS" (Modular Back Strap) in that location on the frame, as are all other Gen4 pistols.

The Gen4 G30, without a back strap adapter installed, has essentially the same grip dimensions as the Gen3 G30SF. The OP is excused for the title of this thread due to his excited state, having just received one of the finest 45ACP pistols available.

Congratulations colbucky!

You are right, sorry for the mistake guys.

 

Very nice. I am currently looking for the same gun. Where did you find it?

 

Congrats on the new family member.

 

I carry a G30sf and well the Gen4 really is not worth getting rid of mine... Ill wait till maybe the Gen 4 G30s... That's something somewhat new lol...

 

Congrats on the new G30!

 

Nice pistol....picked up the same gun as a Blue Label gun in Minden LA last month....and have very pleased with it!

At my local gun shop,Glock distributor. He had 8 and was sold all prior to my purchase. I paid $469.00 plus tax(LE).

 

Sweet pics! Thanks for the share!
I had to run upstairs and look at mine lol

 

colbucky, may I ask a favor please? The next time you have the slide removed from your Gen4 G30, please check the number on the trigger bar and post it in your thread (see photo for location). I'm curious if the number is 4256-1 or 4256-1- or 4256-2. The reason I ask is because GT member Noponer bought a new G30S recently and the trigger bar number in his pistol is 4256-2 and I'd never before heard about a -2 variant.

Why is yours upstairs? It should be gently wrapped in the softest of blankets, nestled lovingly in the crook of your arm where you can gaze upon its beauty and sheer deadliness.

 

The G30S has a narrow G36 slide on a modified G30 frame.

Just checked and its a 4256-2.

 

Congrats on the new piece. My 30SF is becoming my new favorite shooter (currently my 26).

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

Congrats on the gun op! I have a notion to get one of those soon as well.

 

I held one & decided on a G27, now I wish I woulda picked the G3 up

Sent from my mind using my fingers

 

Just checked and its a 4256-2.

Thanks very much for checking the trigger bar number and posting.

The Glock Parts List for Armorers FRM-72-26/Rev 59/1.24.13 lists two relevant entries for the 45ACP/10mm Trigger with trigger bar:

1. Part No. SP 04417, Trigger with trigger bar - G20-G20SF-G20Gen4-G21-G21SF-G21Gen4 (new part - marked 4256-2, with smooth trigger)
2. Part No. 1194, Trigger with trigger bar - G29-G29SF-G29Gen4-G30-G30SF -G30Gen4 (new part - marked 4256-1- with grooved trigger)

This is perplexing to me. Your pistol obviously has the grooved trigger as expected for a subcompact model, but the trigger bar marking doesn't match the Glock Parts List. Not to worry, who cares so long as your pistol functions flawlessly. I think I'll phone Glock, Inc. and ask them about this just to clear up my confusion.
