    Nice, I traded off my old Glock 30 (and my 21 as well as my 27) some time back to consolidate calibers and pistol sizes (Glock 23's, 19's and a 26 now).

    I'm curious, is there something that the 30s does for you that your 26, 19 or 17 didn't, or were you just really looking to get into .45?

    I checked out a 42 in Bradis the other day for the first time, and I wasn't convinced before that I needed anything smaller than the 26, but I will take a hard look when Glock inevitably comes out with their single stack 9. I could not believe how small the 42 was, and still managed to retain the things I like most about the Glock. I have absolutely no interest in the the .380, but now I "need" a single stack 9 Glock when they come out.


    Because it's a .45. A 9mm kills the body, but a .45 kills the soul. :)


    I'm still uncertain about single stack pistols. I have only held them, never shot one. But I've gotten used to the full grip of the Glocks, the single stacks just doesn't feel right in my hands.

    Is this a quality post after the fact? :D

    :dunno: Hey wait a minute what happened to other guy who agreed with my earlier suggestion. A suggest that the OP did not take by the way. :(

    I took your very helpful suggestion under consideration, and gave it a lot of thought. In the end, I chose a Glock, which as everybody knows, is WAY better than a 1911 :)

    How's your lady parts? I heard you had a flare-up the night of the Bub's meet.

    Man, between the shotgun class and the Bub's I'm starting to think it's personal. :(

    Do you hunt small game? An 1851 Colt .36 will make you smile when you realize why Bill Hickok carried them.

    I have a glock and several 1911's. I prefer the 1911. I had my girlfriend shoot 10 different guns before she decided on hers. Find a friend with a 1911 and test it out, you will be hooked.

    If one insists on doing a GLOCK in .45 ACP, then the 30 it should be. I myself had a 30S for a CCW,was a fine shooter with WC gold dot sight, and would recommend it to anyone over the g21 and G36. HOWEVER, there are better options for a .45.

    Of you really want a .45 and like Glocks, the 30s is the way to go. Shoots surprisingly soft, and is very accurate. It's still pretty thick for carry, but that's subjective. 10 round capacity.
