We give our thoughts on the outstanding Glock 30, in .45 ACP. Accurate and hard hitting, it's a good option for folks looking for a.45 in a relatively small package. Note:This was a dead tree!
The Glock 30, chambered in .45 ACP, is a compact and powerful pistol with several advantages, particularly for those who prefer a .45 caliber handgun. Here are the key advantages of the Glock 30:
Key Advantages
Compact Size: The Glock 30 is designed to be compact, making it an excellent choice for concealed carry. Its smaller size compared to full-sized pistols in .45 ACP makes it easier to carry and conceal without sacrificing firepower.
High Caliber Power: Chambered in .45 ACP, the Glock 30 delivers substantial stopping power. The .45 ACP round is known for its effectiveness in self-defense situations due to its larger bullet diameter and energy transfer.
Magazine Capacity: Despite its compact size, the Glock 30 offers a respectable magazine capacity, typically holding 10 rounds in the standard magazine. Extended magazines are also available for those who desire additional capacity.
Reliability: Like all Glock pistols, the Glock 30 is known for its reliability. It functions well in various conditions, including adverse environments, making it a dependable choice for personal defense.
Durability: The Glock 30 is built with a polymer frame and a Tenifer-treated steel slide, which are resistant to corrosion and wear. This durability ensures a long service life and consistent performance.
Safe Action System: Glock's Safe Action system includes three passive, independently operating mechanical safeties (trigger safety, firing pin safety, and drop safety), ensuring the pistol is safe to carry and operate.
Ergonomics: The Glock 30 features a comfortable grip that is designed to fit a wide range of hand sizes. Its design allows for a firm and secure hold, which is crucial for managing the recoil of the .45 ACP round.
Modularity: The Glock 30 is compatible with a variety of aftermarket parts and accessories, allowing users to customize the pistol to their preferences. This includes sights, grips, and other enhancements.
Ease of Maintenance: The Glock 30 is easy to disassemble and clean, making maintenance straightforward. This ease of maintenance contributes to its reliability and longevity.
Recoil Management: While the .45 ACP round has substantial recoil, the Glock 30's design helps manage recoil effectively. The dual recoil spring assembly reduces felt recoil and enhances the shooter’s control over the pistol.
Summary
The Glock 30 in .45 ACP combines compact size with the power of the .45 ACP round, making it a formidable choice for concealed carry and self-defense. Its advantages include high stopping power, reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance, along with a user-friendly design and customizable features. These qualities make the Glock 30 a popular and effective option for those seeking a powerful and reliable compact pistol.

I live in NYS.
Got my CCW license after waiting six months. (a short wait in this state!)
Picked up my CCW license at 10am.
Went immediately to gun store.
Took possession of a Glock 30 at 12:30pm. (had to run back to the Pistol Permit office from the store to get the pistol registered, then back to the store to pick it up, with a 40-minute drive time each way!)
After a forty-minute drive to the gun range, I was nailing the bullseye from 50 feet.
That was a good day.
santoslittlehelper06 how'd you manage to get them to approve the ccw.
santoslittlehelper06 I live in florida. I bought one from a guy on a website in 5 mins. Yesterday. Filled out a used bill of sale and cell photoed each others driver license. Was shooting my brand new 30s in 15 mins. Time to move outta NYS
I know how the hell did you happen to get that shit approved in NYC
small win but still a win
How has it performed after a year? I am ready to buy an LE surplus version.
Sir, a good way to work on accuracy is to start at 3 yards once you can put all your shots in a string of 5 shots. Once you have those 5 shots within a 1 inch spread, step back 1 yard and do the same thing ... Keep this process going to you find your max distance where you can accurately deliver Hits. I have worked with several students in my classes who struggled with distance accuracy until they practiced the process mentioned above. Give it a try.
There is NO OTHER FORMULA for accuracy. Same principle is applied to shooting a basketball. Start close & back up as you hit
Stupid, don't shoot the trees.
@@hectorstella6045 its his
Lucky you. This gun belongs to a good friend. I wish I could keep it. Thank you for watching!
I've carred a 30S for 3 years IWB CrossBreed holster. No FFE or reliability issues. None. Compact length, Slim Slide and 10 round capacity - that's why LAPD special units and many other LE's order them so often that Glock made it a catalog item. I rented a Glock 36 from RangeUSA for one hour and had several FFE issues during a 100 round session.
The Glock 30SF is awesome for anyone looking for the perfect pocket freight train. It's a beautiful operating gun, never fails.
Hands down my fav gun 30sf love of my life!
Just bought G 30, nice little BUTTERBALL😎😎
you still liking the g30sf? Is it still your favorite?
I own a g30. If any of you are worried that the grip is too small. The g21 13 round mag fits the g30 and you can also buy a grip extension for the 13 round mag. It's a great set up.
I have two of these in the standard frame and their big brother, the Glock 21. They are without question my three favorite Glocks in my arsenal. Thanks for sharing.
Around the 5:30 mark if you look closely , you can see the 45 round in travel.
Yea it a big ol slow chunk of lead lol
Thanks for the video, I was at my LGS today asking about a VP9 and the sales rep asked me ,"Why Not A Glock?" I told him I just never liked the feel of Glocks and have no issue with the firearm itself. He offered to let me take a look at his customized Glock 30 since I am a fan of the 45 ACP and was only looking to broaden my 9mm collection. I am still leaning towards the VP9, since I already own a P30 with 8 magazines, but I figured it was worth a peek at something completely different. Keep in mind this will be my first striker fired pistol so it's a good idea to get it right the first time. Thanks Again for the videos!
Honestly, you will be well served. And i mean well, by either handgun.. if im you, and i could only get one. Im going with the hk..simply because you already have mags and ammo for it.. maybe come back later and pick the 30 up.
I have a G 30 love it. The thing I like is that the recoil is very manageable for a sub compact ....... 45...
Do you think it’s a good self defense gun or it would be too hard too hit the shots with it ?
@@chandlerwright9411 in fact mine Is quite accurate
Just added a new Glock to the family. A good looking OD green G19. Fits in well with the G17, G21SF, G23 and G26.
The G30 is a great gun but chunky and feels like a brick in the hand. A G26 or G27 is a little thinner and more comfortable to shoot. But if you still want a compact 45ACP take a look at the thinner G36. It may carry a few less rounds but the thinner profile may fit your hand better. Personally, I wish that my G30 was a G36.
I had a guy in Orlando hold me up he was pointing a gun at my chest from less than 5 yards away. this was a real hold-up! a car pulled up and he took off, lucky for me:) . I like the Glock 30 because jt shoots like a 9 mm. hardly any recoil and its a 45 thats why it so popular.... I love the sig sauer p220 too... will never Jam! thanks for the review I need to practice more:)
Hopefully that never happens to you again, but if it does stand your ground and give the scumbag that dares cross you the room temperature challenge trophy.
Stay Alert / Stay Alive !!!
I've owned the Glock 30sf for 2 years now. The only change I did and would totally recommend is adding the Pearce PG-30 grip base for it. Makes it very very comfortable.
Beefy gun, but soft shooting for a compact.
Rick thanks for the feedback. Many people have no issue with the extended slip stop. However, some people like me do because of the size of our hands and the position of the thumbs on the slide. If this is a non-issue for you, then excellent... many people prefer this type of slide stop. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Glock 30 is my second gun for CCW. I have always loved the .45 round. THe projectile is like a freight train.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree the .45 ACP is a solid large bore cartridge! Please consider subscribing.
This man can shoot really well. Great video, informative and everything! Thank you!

I wish it were a new addition to the gun safe. However it belongs to a good friend of mine. Unfortunately I have to give it back. Thanks for watching.
I love my Glock 30 & 21. 30 is a perfect carry piece imho and does have great capacity.. Great Video and info keep em coming
thank you. I enjoyed your shooting of the g 30. it shows how the average joe on the street can perform with the g 30. there is hope for me yet.
Many of my students start with a small compact handgun rather than a full-size service pistol. It is far easier to learn the fundamentals on the full-size gun and then migrate to a smaller compact version. Please check out some of the other reviews I done on both full-sized service pistols and compacts... That may help.
1 thing I learned when handling my Glocks is if you want to avoid depressing the slide release button all you have to do is pull the slide back then release.
Massad Ayoob is of the opinion that the G30 is one of the most accurate glocks made. I LOVE mine and recently shot my best IDPA score in years with mine. G30....glock's version of a ray gun.
+sorryociffer
They are all made the same
Most accurate
Lol
+ZIGMAN775 Take it up with the guy who is among acknowledged leaders in the field who said it.
sorryociffer
I don't care who considers him a leader thats common sense.
+ZIGMAN775 I don't care that you don't care...neener neener neener.....
+ZIGMAN775. "The reason seems to be twofold. First, the shorter barrel gun has a relatively more rigid barrel, when you measure width vis-a-vis length. Second, and perhaps more important I think, is that the G30 in .45 ACP and the Baby Glocks in standard frame size have the double captive spring design in their recoil springs. This seems to better guarantee that the bullet is past the muzzle before the mechanism begins to unlock. That gives a more consistent barrel alignment shot to shot, in relation to the plane of the sights that are aiming the gun."
OH SNAP! They AREN'T all the same!
wonder if the tree has lead poison now lol
Read what you said makes absolute sense..... the 1 inch rule consistent step back and keep them( tight-ish ) again makes sense thank you too Sir.
I assumed as much, but you know how it is I overheard some good ol' boy at my LGS saying they would fit, but after handling it and comparing it to my 19 Gen 4, I didn't think so. Thank you for your response.
Love my 30. I carry it way more then my 43 43x and my p365
The G30 is a great pistol.
The Glock 30 is a sweet tack driver for me it's my most accurate 45 . Freaking love the Glock 30, 30S, 21 & 41.
Douglas, thanks for commenting. I agree with you the Glock 30 is an excellent pistol. I’m also fan of the Glock 21.
Thanks again for watching and I hope you will subscribe to the channel.

just shot mine the other day. Only shot 30 round and was a pretty smooth shooter. The magazines where a bitch to seat with the slide closed. No problem with the slide open. Ive read that it gets better over time.
Eric, very difficult question to answer. I have to say it all depends. The upside of the 45 is it's a big heavy round that is known to be very effective from a defensive standpoint. The downside is the G30 is not a full-sized handgun. Full-sized handguns like the Glock 21 or G17 are easier to shoot and learn fundamentals on. Finally with ammunition costs what they are 9 mm is far more affordable to shoot. So u r more likely to practice. See my video on selecting your first handgun. May help
I hate it how in video games the sounds of guns are all weird and science fiction. Let me tell you what a gun sounds like... *BANG*
Thanks for the great review brother!!! I bought a G 30 and I love it!! It is just as accurate as my G 21, if not more so!!!!
Glock 30 SF, Bought this little beast for my wife fits her hand very well , recoil is not an issue plus the 21 mags fit it too .Will be doing the heavy recoil spring and sights to up grade .
Its a winner. Thanks for watching.
I really like that Glock 30! I've never owned a Glock. I'm very curious.
Had 2 of these, one 3 and one gen 4. ended up selling them both but still have 3 15 rounders left. Now i have a mod 2 in .45 and love it more
I stand corrected, thanks gents. On my way to get a Glock 30 with a Glock 21 mag and a magazine insert, ohhh, what a beauty !
Picked up a 30sf recently and it is a sweet shooter. The G36 will remain my #1 CCW, with a P380 BUG but I'm going to work the G30sf into the rotation when I wear a jacket or another shirt to cover.
Great video.
This is my EDC concealed weapon. Good review.
Why are you shooting at a Tree? Do you have a steel plate or something behind the target to protect it? I am fan of your channel and I would very much appreciate if you would use a portable stand and not a tree to put your targets on, thank you...
Thanks for your input. Good feedback The tree I was using had been been struck my lightening, three weeks before so was essentially dead but with enough mass and pitch in the tree to stop any handgun rounds. In addition I made sure the angle of the shots fired placed or any misses of would go into a area that is a back stop Behind that there is about 10 acres of land and a hill. Never the less, I agree with you need to know your target and what is beyond it.
It's the 30s that would fit into the 19 or 23 holster... It will fit most. As long as there is some leather, usually if its a full kydex it won't
2:32 - the tree's like 'damn, what did I do?'
Nice presentation of a great gun. Just bought one and LOVE ♥️ IT! 😀
Thanks
Mine did not. However the Gcode holster seems to work great.
No trees were harmed in the making of this video.
Recoil is subjective. I like both the G30 and the one XDS in 45 I shot. there are reviews on both guns on the channel. The question is why do you want a .45 vs the Glock 19? If you can shoot the G30 better and faster, then it's a great choice! Remember... confidence, shot placement and speed of hits on target count most. So IMO there is no "perfect" gun. Whatever works for you and allows good hits. Both the G30 and G19 would serve you well.
Thank you for the video.. the G-30 is my EDC ...for reliability, bullet capacity and size the G-30 can't be beat I carry a G-21 magazine for a backup..
i love this gun because it is small is short gun to hold it. but i konw that the capacity of mags is 13 mags but the power of it is high. so we can use it hiden by short pans, or with some suport, and this gun have many accessories.
Hard gun not to like in spite of it's bulk! Thanks for watching.
The most accurate compact pistol ever, do not be fooled by it's size. 👍👍
Agreed, very accurate.
If you want to conceal carry a .45ACP, the Glock 30 is the pistol to carry. It is basically the same size as a Glock 19 and IMHO is the smallest .45ACP pistol anyone really wants to shoot. I've tried the Springfield Xds and the S&W M&P Shield - both in .45ACP - and they are just TOO SMALL...they hammer the crap out of your hands shooting them. The Glock 30 is MUCH more comfortable to shoot than anything smaller.
Btw, what type of extension is on the one magazine ? Looks different. I've seen them enforce but never knew what they were. Know what I'm talking about ? Lol thanks. Btw just subscribed bro. Keep up the good work.
If u watch close when he is shooting the steel at 50 u can see the bullet moving through the air..awesome!!
Sort of cool, isn't it? Thanks for watching
I think they are the sheir mag extensions. One says +2 but I could only get nine rounds in that mag. Thanks for watching

You got that right. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please consider subscribing to the channel.
I discovered your channel on a recent research project on the M&P Shield - I enjoyed that video as this one. You have a nice approach to the reviews and display very good technique on drawing and grouping. Thank you for the video.
My EDC' is a Glock 30 SF carried in a Mitch Rosen PREM. FD holster for the Glock 30/29, I just love this combo.....Good video..........
Life in New Hampshire, straight bustin gats then heading out for a wine tasting event
Tha is for the video. Have been looking for one as a concealed carry option. I love my lcp, but have been wanting something bigger lately. Especially for winter carry
The Glock 30 is a great pistol.
Sweet little pistol. I've been looking to buy one but am still undecided. Good demo it helps decide. Thanks.
I love the energy!
Interestingly enough, the G30 is super rare around here as a used gun. Folks that buy'em, keep'em.
I need this for a Christmas gift 😥
i am a new hamshireian,would love to know some outdoor places to shoot,everyone keeps them secret in fear massholes are going to ruin it for us,but were ruining it for ourselves because no one knows any good spots,so the hobby dies out.
Nice.... I love mine. It is my everyday carry in a 'MIC' holster. Its always good to see posts from fellow granite staters.
cant wait to pick up my glock 30sf! live in Ca, we have to wait ten days before we can take it home... even though a few years ago federal court ruled the waiting period unconstitutional....
I absolutely love this gun.
great video, i just picked up a glock 30 for my EDC...
Good video and an excellent overview of the G30. I am considering one as a baby brother/carry piece to go with my G21. Stay safe out there. Scott
So I started with my dads 357 magnum loved it loud and scary then 9 mm and have had 9’s for 30 years and of course my EDC 357 smith 4” love it . But now with ammo problems 9mm I can’t ever shoot it but seems like 45 ammo is always at my local stores . After this video I’m going to look at some 45’s I like the compact think it’s time to get this old 6 shooter off my him everyone knows I’m carrying it . Prints like crazy but a compact with stopping power seems like the way to go
Thanks for watching.
I have the Glock 30 Gen 4. I love the gun. The only problem i had was i had to add an exstended slide release. It's tuff to release the slide with out one. Other then that it's my CCW. I own nothing but Glock. I have a Glock 19 Gen 4 love the gun. A Glock 22 Gen 4 another great gun. I have a Glock 23 Gen 4. awesome CCW.
I'm NOT a fan of Using Live Trees for a Target / Back Stop......
Absolutely NO NEED FOR IT
I don't own a Glock but I would like to get a .45. I will definitely take a closer look at the 30. Thanks for the vid.
Both the G30 and G21 are great perfomers. My personal favorite is the G21 with 13 rounds of Winchester Ranger T 230+p ammo and the TLR2 flashlight / laser attached. Thanks for watching and commenting
Where’d you get the mag extension from I would like to purchase one
Definitely need to know who made that extension. There's only one or too options available for the g30
No I have not seen one but would love to review it. If anyone in New Hampshire sees this video and has one that I can review, please let me know. Thank you for watching.
I think .45 and 40 cal is not good for polymer hand gun due to high pressure and more tendency for the slide to damage! And you know wat Iam talking about, LiFE IS GOOD! I appreciate your video Sir,
the trees must get very heavy in new hampshire
great vid brother.
have a g30 myself, and it's always been one of my favorites
Tree didn’t even flinch.
No sir, the dead tree was dead. Killed by lightning strike year before. Thanks for commenting. Hope you'll subscribe.
At 2:00 you can see the shell ejected right into his head. I had a g19 and a g17 (gen4) and each had this habit of ejecting shells back and hitting me. Anyone else notice this?
Excellent presentation, better than a table top review.
Glad you liked it!
@2:07 were you doing some reverse "mozambique drill" or it just happened? However, it looked cool...
good tips with the side release and night sights. ty
Sir, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope you will subscribe and check out some of our other content.
Have you fired the g21.and if you have how would you compare controllability of the 30tocthe 21. I want a 45 but I can't decide which one
If not primarily a concealed carry pistol, I would definitely go with the glock 21. A full size pistol is generally is easier to shoot and lowers felt recoil.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC cool I always appreciate input from guys that have more experience than me
Great information!
In our state we cannot use trees as backstops.
@Guns and Gear & On Target Training, LLC: Let me start by saying I watch and appreciate your videos so much I enjoy your opinions. With that said, I was wondering what you thought about a dilemma I’m having.
I have been on the Glock platform for the last year and use Glock 22 for Home Defense and both Glock 23 and 27 for my conceal and carry. I’m trying to justify, to myself, a reason and use to purchase the G21 and G30. Is it common to carry different calibers at different times?
Thanks for your kind words and for watching the channel. I carry and own different Glock models mostly because I can. The Glock 21 and Glock 30 would be a great addition to your collection! The Glock 21 with a TLR2 is my bedside go to gun...
Check out these older vids... The Glock 21 (and G30) in 45 ACP and Glock 21 .45 ACP with TLR2 streamlight - review
thank you for commenting. I don't know what you're referring to as this is my natural draw perhaps if you videoed your draw and posted it I could speak to whatever is different. What you may be seeing is a press out from a high ready position. many top trainers And competitive shooters use because it Allows you to pick up the front site very quickly. However I'm sure the subscribers would be very interested in learning from you how to improve their skills. Thank U for watching.
The only problem I have with this video is that the guy is only like 6 feet away from the target the whole time. If you can't hit where your aiming at at his distance, than you either need glasses or you don't need a gun.
Glock 30 Gen 4 is my first gun.
Thanks for commenting.
Up in new Hampshire? Did ya stop for a tour of the Sig factory?
You can easily see the bullet traveling on the 50yd target
Perhaps a dirt mound would be a better place to place your target
I recently acquired a Glock 30 Gen 3 without rail and I am very pleased with it. I find it to be an excellent shooter and the recoil is very manageable. My only gripe; however, it that it lacks a rail for a light attachment. While I don't have to have one, I would prefer to be able to attach a light since it is my primary home defense weapon. Do you know of any lights that are available that can be attached without a rail?
www.opticsplanet.com/reviews/reviews-ncstar-pistol-accessory-rail-adapters.html
Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Currently have a G26 and I'm looking for a 2nd home defense/occasional carry firearm. Down in MA, we are limited to the 10 rd mags. I'm torn between the g17 and the g30. Without that high capacity benefit of the 9mm it doesn't seem to appeal to me as much. However, I work over nights and this 2nd home defense weapon would be available to my wife... I would be concerned about her ability to handle that recoil and make effective hits. Not sure if it's a valid concern or if I'm underestimating her. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Mtsfitness...The Glock 30 handles very well with little recoil with Speer Gold Dot ammo
Used by a lot t of Police Departments.
Effective self defense round.....
If you had to compare felt recoil between the S&W 625, a standard 1911, Glock 21 and the Glock 30, how would you rank them from least to most?
Thank you & I’m already subbed of course! 👍
Lowest recoil 625. Followed by G21 and ending with the G30. Heavier frame revolver mitigates the recoil better the smaller compact or subcompact.
@@GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC Thanks!
I always felt like a Glock absorbed a lot of it and the lower bore axis helped as well.
Only shot the G21 & 1911 so far, and even though the 1911 was heavier the G21 felt softer shooting, to me.
Also with a revolver I feel like the recoil is completely different since there isn’t any locked breech or similar system to soften up the impulse. It’s basically just weight soaking up the recoil.
@@muaythai193 I agree with you the recoil impulse on the G21 is mild.
This might be unpopular but, you need to invest in a cheap PVC or wood frame to hold your targets.
Thanks for watching. It was a dead tree that had been struck by lightening. Wish I had never used it as I spend lots of time telling the tree was dead.
Okay I didn't want to mention it at first but... I didn't realize it was dead. Otherwise the point was valid. A good informative evaluation of the G-30, I plan on getting one based on your video.
In my experience 9MM doesn't flip. They shoot almost like a .22. If you want to experience flip, try shooting a .40 S&W. Nice Vid. 7 more days till i pick up my G 30SF
***** That 1911 is a bit long for IWB carry don't you think? i love my 1911 and how thin it is. I don't carry but like the fact the the 30sf can hide nicely if i needed to.
I 'am ready to buy a .45 pistol and want to be able to carry as well. I am going to buy the model 21 or 30 I 'am leaning toward the 21.
I have a glock 21 and I love it but it is definitely not for concealed carry. She's a porker that one lol
The 21 is a bit big for CCW but I can carry mine with very little print. Depends on your build. I also own and use the G30. She is reliable. You're going to be happy with either one.
have you shot or held a g21? it was my duty pistol 6 yrs on police dept, awesome pistol....but def NOT a carry pistol unless you strictly open carry on your hip. go check out the g30s
My only question is that you can get a similar sized glock with higher capacity and less recoil so why not just get a 9 mil
Personal choice. Many people like the 45 in this smaller package.
Wow! you could actually see the round before it hits the steel target.
