I’ve owned a Glock 30SF Gen 3 for a few years now, and I love how it fits in my hand. The grip is a bit larger, but it doesn’t feel unwieldy. For concealed carry, it works well with the right holster.

Are there particular holster brands you recommend? I’m still on the fence about how discreet it would be while carrying.

I really appreciate the mag capacity of the Glock 30SF. Having 10+1 rounds of .45 ACP gives me confidence when carrying. It’s a nice balance of firepower and size.

Absolutely! The capacity is impressive for a compact gun. A good choice for those who prioritize stopping power.

I have smaller hands, so the grip can be a touch too wide for me. I sometimes wonder if Glock will offer interchangeable backstraps in future models.
