A compact .45 is almost too impressive to be real but Glock took note of the market and launched the Glock 30 concealed pistol that has a huge impact.

Many believe that the 30 is the best choice for the current conceal carry gun (CCW) 45. Do you think Glock’s model stand up to the powerful .45 ACP? Check out my evaluation of the Glock 30 below.

Glock 30 Review – Why This Subcompact 45 is a Must-Have for Gun Enthusiasts

The Glock 30 is a formidable firearm that has earned a reputation as one of the best subcompact 45s on the market. With its compact size and high-capacity magazine, this pistol is perfect for concealed carry or home defense. In this review, we’ll dive deep into the Glock 30’s features and benefits, giving you an in-depth understanding of why this gun is a must-have for any gun enthusiast.

Accuracy of Glock 30

GLocks are especially known for their precision however, they’re also extremely accurate. The 30 (like the other versions) performs well when it comes to hitting the target you’re shooting.

At 10 yards, the round cluster was about 1 to 2 inches in distance.

The farther I moved away from the goal and the further away I got, the less I could place slugs over each other, however that’s generally accepted to a certain extent.

Sub-compacts are difficult to master on, and they took me amount of time to become comfortable with the dimensions, which took an impact on my accuracy.

In terms of accuracy base is concerned, it is a good choice. Glock 30 is on par with other pistols in its price class.

Don’t forgetthat Glocks are extremely adjustable, so don’t put optics or other enhancements out of your head at this point.

Reliability of Glock 

The Glock 30 as well as any different Glock (except that 44) is a masterpiece in the field of reliability.

You can take this pistol up to Mexico and back and keep a good shooting gun in your hands although it is a bit dusty.

Like always you can count on to get the exact Glock cycling and a slew of anti-jamming features from the 30 and it doesn’t matter which you do with it.

Recoil

.45 recoil is typically quite rigid in pistols of small size which is why the Glock 30 is no exception to this.

It is evident immediately and is significantly more than 9mm, which is my usual carry weight.

The kick is sharp but it’s not a nuisance or too bothersome unless your hand slips that can happen when you have bigger hands.

A full-size Glock that is chambered with the 45 ACP is a very comfortable gun to shoot, however the advantages are not as evident on the 30.

Magazine and Capacity

As with every other product that we have reviewed, these magazines as well as firing reloading work exactly as the other pistols that carry the Glock brand name.

It’s got exactly the same magazine made of polymer however, it has 10 rounds plus one.

Glock is really benefiting from this design, as the process of reloading the 30 is almost identical to any other Glock ever put in your hand.

Specifications

The Glock thirty is a tinny total size of 6.96 inches and an elevation of 4.8 inches and a rather slim length at 1.27 inches.

This is a remarkable size for the size of a .45 calibre pistol.

It’s unlikely to compliment the rifle enough However, it’ll be well tucked into the belt.

The small size was a trade-off to the recoil that was quite heavy, but it’s worth it due to the concealability of the 30’s.

It may also be worthwhile to trade some concealability in exchange to get some improved sightlines.

Price

The price is just $547, which is within the same range that others Gen 4 Glocks. However, as with guns, the price could be overinflated in the event of different guns or supply shortages that are affecting the market quite brutally.

Is the Glock 30 Worth It?

For me? It’s not the case, but it’s because I’m fanboy nine. 45 is fun , but I’m not using to use it in self-defense.

If, however, you love 45 ACPs, then this might be the perfect option for you if you cannot live without the stopping power.

Here’s why:

A small, concealable pistol small, concealable pistol with

No malfunctions, reliability as with all Glock’s items

Powerful, having powerful bullets in a compact size is a huge advantage to self-defense, or for fun at the range.
