The Glock 30 represents the ultimate accomplishment that brings together the need for a concealed-carry weapon and the affinity for 45-caliber power. It was introduced in 1997 and has been upgraded over time, so now is available in different versions. The differences between those versions are minimal and are related mostly to weight or width. The overall length of all variations is 6.97 inches and they operate in the same way. The Glock 30 is chambered with a .45 ACP cartridge and can carry 10 rounds. It’s easy to maintain and simple to use, with a polymer frame, low slide profile, and well-known trigger safety- all standard Glock features. The grip itself provides a good, firm grasp so the gun is nicely controllable. Many users stated that the recoil and muzzle flip are less than some other .45 ACP semi-automatic handguns. Concealed-carry pistols are intended for close combat, so the Glock 30 is greatly accurate at short distances (7 or even 15 yards).
