Glock 30 30rd Magazine - After a nice break I'm back with a review. To start off the new year, I think it's only fitting that I give an overview of one gun that deserves a review. In April 2008 I bought my first pistol. As someone looking for my first concealed carry gun, my interest peaked at the Glock 36. "We don't have any," said the man behind the gun. Instead he reached down and picked up a similar black pistol and placed it on the table. I grabbed the gun with both hands and pointed it at the ground with the front sight pointed at the rear hole. Holding the magazine filled my palm, and the balance was unnatural. "That feels good," I thought. It was the 3rd generation Glock 30SF in 45 Auto.
It's been over six years since it was purchased, and I still carry the Glock 30SF (G30) daily. I can safely say that I keep mine on my person for at least 300 days a year. The remaining sixty-five days will consist of not leaving the house or carrying any other weapons. But what about shooting? I put about 2000 rounds of factory ammo through the tube. I started reloading in 2009 and completed the year with 3514 reloads. As of 11/19/2014, 14,830 reloads have been placed in the pistol, all in 200 and 230 gr. loaded Mostly 230 gr. cargo, but some interesting statistics are in order. Half and half between the two loads, I put about 454 pounds of ammunition through the G30. I went through six recoil spring assemblies, three slide stops, and at least 8 pounds of smokeless powder. In conclusion, I know a thing or two about the G30.

While my reviews are mostly informative and educational about firearms, this one is an exception. There are countless reviews of Glocks, and there isn't much I can add without beating a dead horse with a sausage several times. Instead, I'll focus on the pros and cons of the G30 as they relate to my experience.

To get started, let's get some bugs out of the way. This item is a block. If you're looking for a compact solution for your first concealed carry pistol, get the G30. I am like that because I am stubborn about such things. Pistols don't age well. Given the wide range of calibers and designs now offered, if I were to buy again, I would consider other pistols more. You may have heard the phrase "dressed to the gun." With the G30, you better dress well around your gun, as it won't tolerate a slim polo shirt and pants. This is a pistol type, the waist of the pants is 1 inch larger than normal and needs high quality leather to provide enough support to the waist.
Meanwhile, let me tell you a little about my shipping system. Galco's Royal Guard IWB in the holster was my first and only G30. It was so good that I can and will buy more Glaco holsters for other guns. My magazine pouch is a Gould & Goodrich 851 magazine belt carrier. The leather has developed a beautiful shine after many years of wear and durability is equal to Galco. Finally, we have the gun belt. Mine is a 1.75 inch belt ordered from Thebeltman.net. A G30 with two extra magazines will hurt your body if done wrong. There are belts and then there are gun belts. If you want to carry it every day, find a belt at Thebeltman.net. I have three years, my back is fine.
Back to the pistol. As you can see from the pictures, my G30 is not fully stocked. The one conversion/upgrade I did was a Storm Lake barrel. Since most of my loads are lead, I discount all the potential dangers associated with the well-publicized dangers of shooting lead. Except for the barrel, what you see is what you've seen before. Stock sight, original mag release, ejector, extractor, trigger, fire control group, all original. Most of the wear is directly on the face and inside the slide. The G30 is my all-purpose gun. I train, practice stealth photography, shoot, read, admire, and always carry.
Greatest asset: pistol shooting. It's a soft-shooting 45 if there ever was one. Six years after my first impression, I still believe that the G30 is one of the best examples of pistol balance. If it is correct, it is. Well, the Glock is borderline ugly, but it's ... so ... right. I shoot Glocks and other pistols, but I will always respect the G30 for its ease of shooting.

Although my example works with almost all industrial ammo, I have noticed a tendency to get bogged down in reloading from time to time. This is usually due to the arrows being slightly further apart to reduce the lead. Other issues encountered are the result of case chewing, which is rare for brass that has been reloaded 25+ times. The reliability of the Glock design is well known. Most of the minor defects I have encountered with custom pistols can be attributed to reloading. An example of a gun that choked on factory ammunition was on Christmas Eve 2014. I did my best on a rainy day putting 220 rounds through the iron. I have had five separate incidents of the slide closing in a partially full magazine. To be fair, it rained, magazines were thrown into mud pits, and there was as much dust in the action as dirty magazines in the gun all day. And that was after 140 models were contaminated with lead cargo. The factory ammo that caused the problem was the Remington 230gr. JHP (L45AP7). This shows that any weapon can go wrong with less than ideal ammunition and environmental conditions.
But a few failures out of 15,000 is not bad. The Glock 30SF is by far the most tested and evaluated gun I have done or will do. Even though it's not the best gun, I still like to shoot it. There are thirty types from 230 gr. The JHP Golden Sabers I have on hand are also unconvincing. If I stop collecting 30, I will never stop. Several defensive pistols work as a variety of recreational weapons. So for a trip to the range, the metal in the woods, or the shops in the local parking lot, check out the Glock 30SF. Better yet... take one.
