Glock 30 GEN 4 – 20mm

Description

Product Overview

The Glock 30 GEN 4 is a compact, high-capacity .45 Auto pistol designed for the discerning shooter who demands power in a concealable package. As a cornerstone of the GLOCK Gen4 series, this model represents a refined evolution, specifically engineered to manage the substantial .45 ACP cartridge with exceptional control and reliability. It is an ideal choice for law enforcement officers seeking a potent backup or off-duty weapon, and for experienced civilian shooters focused on personal and home defense. The GLOCK 30 GEN 4 masterfully bridges the gap between the stopping power of a full-size service pistol and the practical necessities of everyday carry, offering a trusted solution for critical scenarios.

Key Features

• Gen4 Enhancements: Features interchangeable backstraps (with beavertail) to customize grip circumference and trigger reach, a reversible magazine catch for left or right-handed operation, and a dual recoil spring assembly to reduce felt recoil and increase component life.
• Optimized .45 ACP Platform: Delivers the proven ballistic performance of the .45 Auto caliber in a frame with a controlled 96mm (3.78-inch) barrel, balancing muzzle velocity with a compact, holster-friendly footprint.
• High Capacity for its Class: Offers a standard magazine capacity of 10 rounds, providing a significant tactical advantage in a subcompact .45 format, a notable feat of engineering that defines this model.
• Robust & Reliable Build: Maintains the legendary GLOCK “Safe Action” system and uses a durable polymer frame with a hardened steel slide, resulting in a durable total weight of just 23.81 oz. unloaded.
• Enhanced Grip Texture: Incorporates the Gen4’s improved RTF (Rough Textured Finish) on the frame for a more secure and consistent grip in all conditions, crucial for managing the .45’s recoil.
• Compact Dimensions: With an overall height of 121mm (4.76 inches) and length of 172mm (6.77 inches), it is engineered for discreet carry without compromising on a full-firing grip.

Performance & Applications

The GLOCK 30 GEN 4 excels in specific roles where its combination of power, size, and capacity is paramount. For licensed concealment, its compact frame and potent chambering make it a premier choice for the defensive carrier who prioritizes terminal ballistics. The manageable recoil impulse, aided by the Gen4 dual-spring system, allows for faster, more accurate follow-up shots compared to other pistols in its category.

In a home defense capacity, the pistol’s 10+1 round capability provides substantial reassurance. Its rugged simplicity means it can be stored securely in a quick-access safe, ready to function reliably if needed, without complex manual safeties to manipulate under stress. Furthermore, its proven track record and parts commonality with other GLOCK models make it a logical selection for individuals who already train with the platform and value consistency across their firearms.
