The Glock G30 delivers full-power .45 ACP performance in a compact frame that conceals easily while maintaining the reliability Glock pistols are known for. This 10-round configuration provides substantial stopping power without the bulk of full-size alternatives.
What Makes This Different
The G30's dual recoil spring assembly reduces felt recoil by 25% compared to single-spring systems, allowing faster follow-up shots with the powerful .45 ACP cartridge. The compact 4.49-inch overall width makes it 15% narrower than comparable double-stack .45 pistols. Safe Action trigger system maintains consistent 5.5-pound pull weight with integrated safety mechanisms that prevent accidental discharge.
Key Features

Law enforcement agencies choose the G30 for off-duty carry because it delivers duty-grade reliability in a concealable platform. The 4.17-inch barrel generates 850 fps muzzle velocity with 230-grain ammunition while maintaining 3.5-inch accuracy at 25 yards. Polymer frame construction reduces weight to 26.28 ounces loaded, making extended carry comfortable.
