Buy Glock 30S 45 ACP Online Australia

Introduction

The GLOCK 30S Gen3 45 ACP Semi-Auto Pistol is built on the G30 SF frame and utilizes a slimmer slide. The barrel is a little longer than the barrel on their other sub-compacts, which gave GLOCK the room to add their integral rail onto the frame so you can attach a variety of aftermarket lights and lasers. Plus, the front of the firearm is beveled for easier reholstering. The Gen3 pistols feature a right-hand-only mag release and slide release. The front strap has finger grooves, which can fit your hand nicely and assist in mitigating recoil on their sub-compact models. There’s a lot to be said over the years about 45ACP. Here’s one that’s easy to carry with its smaller size, while still holding more rounds than your classic 1911.

The Glock 30S is easily concealable, and compact. 45 with good capacity vs. size and weight. It is as reliable a pistol as was ever made and it’s easy to customize; with a wide variety of after-market components and holsters. Capacity: 10+1 (9-round flush magazine is available. Weight: 22.95 oz. Trigger: ~5.5 pounds Barrel: 3.77

The Glock design was intended for military and police use but soon became famous for its reliability and it has been universally adopted around the world and just as easily recognizable. Opening the box on a new Glock never offers any surprises.

The Glock 30 is no exception. Black, polymer, and with an air of functionality, the Glock 30 evokes the same feeling I get every time I handle a Glock. These guns just feel good in my hand. There is a mental understanding that this is a firearm that will function every time. That is comforting if you are carrying a firearm on which your life may depend.

Glocks are not glamorous or showy. They are perfect examples of form following function. In a strange way, I do find the Glock an attractive gun in much the same way I look at a well-designed and functional tool. There is an elegance in something that is designed to work.

I must admit that I was a little apprehensive about the range. I have shot .45 ACP in several different styles of pistols. Some were a pleasure to shoot, and some were of the “I’d rather not endure that again” variety. Given the small size and the lightweight of the Glock 30, I was afraid this was going to be one of the latter types of experiences.

I was pleasantly surprised. I found that the grip of the Glock 30 is substantial enough that I could get a good grip contact and maintain superb control of the little pistol easily. The recoil and muzzle jump was a lot less than some other .45 ACP semi-automatic pistols I have shot and some .40 SW pistols I have owned.

My normal routine is to put at least 250 rounds downrange during a pistol evaluation. I try to shoot a variety of ammunition from generic factory brands to my own homegrown reloads. I include at least one magazine of self-defense rounds.

I shot the Glock 30 using a factory 10-round magazine. The extra bit of magazine protruding from the magazine well was just enough to allow me to get a full grip, including my little finger. This made the comfort zone much better for handling this handful of small pistols.

Accuracy was excellent at 7 and 15 yards with the factory ball ammunition and my reloads. I didn’t suffer a single failure to feed during the entire test. My accuracy did suffer a bit when I did a rapid-fire magazine dump. Several rounds of the ten that I fired ended up in the seven-ring.

I didn’t shoot past the 15-yard mark. I have found that the combination of my eyesight and the short barrel and sight length make it almost an exercise in frustration. I have no doubt that the Glock 30 will deliver rounds accurately at longer ranges, but my feeling about a concealed carry firearm is that it will probably be used much closer.

I left the range impressed with the Glock 30. It was not the handful I had expected. It performed as I expected a Glock to perform. In fact, the gun will probably shoot much better than my ability.
