Description:
Guns Listing ID: 568512
Quick overview / role
Model: Glock 30
Caliber: .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol)
Role: Compact/.45 carry and duty pistol — designed to give .45 ACP stopping power in a smaller, more concealable package than full-size .45 pistols. Popular with civilians for carry and with officers as a backup gun.
Character: Rugged, simple striker-fired design in a compact frame — trades capacity and a bit of shootability for concealability and larger-bore terminal ballistics.
Design & operation
Action: Striker-fired, semi-automatic using Glock’s Safe Action system (three passive safeties: trigger safety, firing-pin safety, and drop safety). No manual external safety on standard models.
Operating system: Short-recoil, locked-breech (Browning-style tilting barrel).
Frame: Polymer frame with steel slide and internal chassis. Compact footprint aimed at concealment while retaining a full-sized grip feel for many shooters (depending on model/variant).
Intended uses: Concealed carry, backup/duty, home defense, and range/training.
Representative specifications (typical / approximate)
Exact factory numbers vary by generation and special models; treat these as commonly reported reference values:
Caliber: .45 ACP
Standard magazine capacity: 10 + 1 (flush OEM magazine is common)
Common extended magazine options: 12- or 13-round aftermarket/extended magazines and 10+1½ variants depending on market
Barrel length (approx): ~3.78 in (˜96 mm) (compact/subcompact length)
Overall length (approx): ~6.85 in (˜174 mm)
Height (with mag, approx): ~4.7 in (˜119 mm)
Width (approx): ~1.26–1.3 in (˜32–33 mm)
Unloaded weight (approx): ~23–25 oz (˜650–710 g) depending on generation and finish
Sights: Factory three-dot dovetail sights — many owners upgrade to tritium night sights.
Accessory rail: Some variants have a short accessory rail on the dust cover (check specific model).
Trigger: Glock Safe Action (consistent factory trigger; many owners opt for mild tuning).
Note: I gave approximate numbers above because Glock has produced the G30 in several runs and variants (including short-frame, subcompact, and later Gen4/Gen5 changes). Tell me if you want a precise spec sheet for a particular serial/model and I’ll fetch the exact numbers (I don’t haveaccess in this chat).
Generations & notable differences
Early runs / Gen3-era: Standard compact frame, typical Glock controls and finish of the era (finger grooves may be present on some models).
Variants introduced later: Glock produced several family members and variations (short-frame/-slide hybrids and crossover models). They also produced Gen4 and Gen5 updates for some compact models — expect differences in backstraps, recoil spring assemblies, grip texture, and slide finish depending on the production run.
Gen4-style features (if present on a G30 variant): interchangeable backstraps, dual recoil spring assembly, enlarged reversible mag release, more aggressive grip texture.
Gen5-style features (if present on a G30 variant): no finger grooves, refined grip geometry, updated barrel (Marksman barrel on some Gen5 pistols), refined slide finish and internal/feeding tweaks.
Because Glock model names and exact feature-sets changed over time, always check the slide/frame markings and the included manual for the specific gun you’re evaluating.
Controls & ergonomics
Trigger / safeties: Glock Safe Action system — predictable, consistent, with the characteristic Glock trigger feel.
Grip: Compact grip — short in length with a flush mag gives limited pinky purchase; many owners prefer extended magazines or mag extensions for better purchase at the range. Backstrap options exist on Gen4-type runs.
Magazine release & slide stop: Conventional Glock layout — on Gen4 variants the magazine release is enlarged and reversible. Slide stop and takedown are standard Glock designs.
Balance & feel: Heavier in the muzzle area relative to small 9mm pistols (due to .45 mass) — helps tame recoil somewhat, though .45 impulse is still stout in a compact.
Magazines & ammunition
Factory magazines: Factory 10-round magazines are typical; aftermarket extended magazines (12–13 rounds) are available — always verify fit and function.
Interchangeability: Some Glock compact/subcompact .45 platform magazines cross-fit with other models in the .45 family; check specific part numbers.
Ammunition: .45 ACP loads — FMJ for range practice, +P? (most Glock manuals warn about +P use — consult the manual). For carry use high-quality jacketed hollow points from reputable manufacturers; always test your chosen defensive load for reliable feeding and extraction in your pistol before trusting it for carry.
Ammo sensitivity: Compact .45 actions can be more sensitive to bullet profile/OAL and light target loads than bigger frames — thorough testing is important.
