    Here is the smaller frame .45 caliber version of duty weapon (Glock 21). It is great for off-duty concealment or even as a second firearm while in uniform. The Glock 30 has a smaller capacity magazine (10 rounds) in a dual stack magazine. With my smaller hands, the weapons sits just fine. Those with larger hands may want to use a magazine extender to keep a good grip on the weapon. As far as firing the 30, it's everybit as reliable as the larger 21.

    I have really enjoyed carrying this weapon as my off duty weapon of choice. It is easy to conceal, carries well and allows adequate ammunition for engagements if needed. Fits well in hands and fires very well placed shot groups even in rapid fire exercises. Currently carry this is weapon with a holsterless belt clip. Never had any misfires or jams in over 1500 rnds.

    This weapon is the perfect balance of large caliber power, magazine capacity and concealability. I wear it in an Apache Ankle holster when wearing my duty uniform and when off duty. It is practically undetectable. It goes everywhere with me, on duty of off.

    I worked for Smith and wesson, this products is very effective and managable, I do not own one, but if I had to carry, this would be my personal choice

    Clearly there are many policelink members that have a lot more experience with firearms that I do, but my two cents is that this is one fine weapon. I find the size and weight to be perfect, and I like the way it looks.

    I was a firearms instructor in the 1980's and was instrumental in switching my agency (Lake Worth PD, FL) from revolvers to the S&W 659/459 series. At the time, that was the best auto we could find. In the mid 90's, Glock emerged and after extensive study we switched our entire depatrment to the Glock .40 and .45 calibers. I chose this model, the 11 shot Glock 30 in .45 cal as my backup/off duty weapon and after I retired I still carry (with a permit!) this weapon. Having been active in police firearms research, policy and training for over 20 years I found this to be the absolute best balance of size, weight, concealability, reliability and power. Great weapon!

    Always with me when I walk out the door. Mostly carry it IWB, sometimes in a paddle holster (court) and when ever I'm on shift as a 2nd under my armpit on a strap holster. The only jams I had with it were using the fullsize mags from my 21 and I attribute that to having my pinky put pressure on the mag. I shoot with the fullsize mags pinky forward to get away from it. No problems since.

    Exellent weapon for off duty use as well as plain clothes operations! You can use the same 13 round mags used for your full size Glock 21, as back up mags. If your mitts asre to small, send it out to RoBar for the grip reduction, they did an outstanding job on my 21 as well. Stay Safe!

    I rate this product well because it is full power, small, and low in weight. I am able to effective concealed carry it in hot Florida with shorts and sleeveless shirt. I am able to place 9 rounds fairly close at 30 feet. I had a S&W 357 mag before and switched to this because of the light weight. I do like the S&W 357 mag. Just too heavy.

    Small, a good capacity mag. Very accurate with minimal recoil. I used it for my duty weapon and carried it as an off duty weapon. Now that I'm retired it's the only thing I need.

    Excellent duty or off duty carry weapon. The magazine capacity puts it up there with the full size semi-autos.

    GLOCK 30

    Accuracy - power - speed

    The GLOCK 30 in the legendary .45 caliber offers excellent out-of-the- box precision paired with the ballistic quality of a genuine big-bore caliber. The smooth design and the simple
    operation of the GLOCK pistol allow quick drawing of the pistol. Because of these advantages and especially because of its compact dimensions, the GLOCK 30 is the
    first choice of plainclothes officers and protection personnel. This is the gun I carry off - duty to dinner, or to a night on the town. Nice very powerful sub-compact.

    Don't let it's size fool you. The Glock 30 is an excellent weapon, and is easy to conceal for those who work undercover, or wish to carry while off duty.

    Excellent weapon all around as most of us said already!! The kick back is smooth and easy to handle if you are a person of smaller size. I can wear a t-shirt and shorts and you wouldn't know I was carrying.

    small yet large. 45 cal fire power is unbeatable. with the magazine extension it fits my hand perfectly. shoots smooth and on target. conceals nicely. 11 round of 45 cal in the size it comes in you cant find a more affordable handgun.

    This is great handgun. I have used it on duty for about 3 years now. I have some extendable magaz.ines that help with the small grip.It also has very little recoil.Great for qualifying

    OK, what's funny is that of all the various handguns I shoot IDPA with, this is by far my best scoring weapon. Magazine capacity is perfect, functioning is flawless and it fits my medium size hands very well. I shoot either COR-BON or Federal HS ammo entirely with this firearm.

    As of right now my C & C is the XD-40 subcompact but am considering returning to the 45. I think the Glock 30 will be my choice.

    I've carried one since 1998, Been a reliable back up weapon. Highly recommend it... I qualify with it every year and shoots easy and never any problems. I use regular sights as I feel at the range I will be using it I do not need night sights.

    I love this handgun! I carry mine when I'm off duty, because it's lighter and smaller. The other cool thing about this handgun is that I can use my G21 mags in it. The other thing I like is that it comes with hi-cap mags. It's just like the 21 but smaller. I would recommend this to anybody who is considering getting an off duty handgun because this is THE pistol to have.
