Glock G30 .45 ACP Subcompact Pistol 9-Round Black Polymer Frame

The Glock G30 delivers full-size .45 ACP performance in a subcompact frame designed for concealed carry and duty applications. This striker-fired pistol combines proven reliability with manageable recoil, making it an effective choice for users requiring serious stopping power in a compact package.

What Makes This Different

The G30 stands apart from other subcompact .45s through its unique balance of capacity and controllability. While most .45 ACP subcompacts sacrifice either magazine capacity or shootability, the G30 maintains a 9+1 capacity while keeping overall length under 7 inches. The polymer frame construction reduces weight by 25% compared to steel-framed alternatives without compromising structural integrity.

Key Features

• 9+1 round capacity with flush-fitting magazine for optimal concealment
• 4.02-inch overall height fits standard holster patterns
• Safe Action trigger system with three independent safety mechanisms
• Tenifer finish provides 99% corrosion resistance rating
• Interchangeable backstraps accommodate different hand sizes
• Accessory rail accepts tactical lights and laser modules
• Night sight compatible dovetail cuts front and rear

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy within 3-inch groups at 25 yards using quality ammunition. The dual recoil spring system manages .45 ACP recoil effectively, enabling faster follow-up shots compared to single-spring designs. Law enforcement agencies report function rates exceeding 99.8% through torture testing including extreme temperatures, submersion, and high round counts. The pistol maintains zero malfunctions through the first 5,000 rounds when properly maintained.
