Is a Glock 30S a good gun?
Whether it's good depends on your needs. The 30S is a reliable striker-fired subcompact in .45 Auto designed for concealed carry, with a 5.5-pound trigger pull and comfortable grip. Reviewers praised its reliability and handling. It's discontinued but available used, typically around $546.

The Glock 30S chambers .45 ACP ammunition. Standard 230-grain FMJ rounds feed reliably for practice. Popular defensive loads include Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, and Winchester Ranger T-Series. Consult your owner's manual for specific load recommendations.
What's the price range for a Glock 30S?
Glock 30S pistols typically sell around $546, with most inventory ranging from $517 to $697. Since Glock discontinued this model, pricing reflects used stock and remaining retailer inventory.
What generation is the Glock 30 SF?
The Glock 30SF is a 3rd generation pistol. The "SF" stands for Short Frame, referring to its reduced grip circumference compared to the standard Glock 30, making it more comfortable for shooters with smaller hands.
What is the difference between the Glock 30S and the Glock 30SF?
The 30S combines the Glock 30SF frame with the slimmer Glock 36 slide, reducing overall width and weight for easier concealment. The 30SF retains the standard wider slide but has a shorter trigger reach than the original 30. Both chamber .45 ACP and share the same magazine capacity.
What does the S in Glock 30S stand for?
The S likely indicates the slim profile created by pairing the Glock 30SF frame with the thinner slide from the Glock 36, reducing overall width and weight. However, Glock has not officially confirmed what the S stands for. The pistol retains the standard 10-round .45 ACP capacity.
Will Glock 30S take Glock 21 mags?
Yes, Glock 21 magazines work in the 30S. Both chambered in .45 ACP share compatible magazine dimensions. However, some shooters report occasional feeding issues, so standard 30S magazines remain the most reliable option for carry use.
