Opinions of a Glock 30 for my wife.

[Guest spoolie]

As stated in the thread title I purchased a g30 yesterday for a vacation trip. I wanted something compact that could be hidden in every situation...unlike my 1911's or Sig.

After the vacation trip it is my wife's everyday carry.

Opinions, discuss.

Don't have one but would like to. Found one at a gun show last year that a guy was selling out of his personal collection. Came with 5 mags and looked like it had never been fired. A friend's stepson had been looking for one, so I found him and told him about it, and he paid the guy $540 for all of it. Wish now I had just kept my mouth shut and bought it myself lol.

Has your wife fired it yet?

[Guest spoolie]

Going to a range today and run 1000-1500 thru it.

If she can shoot it, why not.

I'd have to have the SF version.

I've added one to my carry rotation. I added a 3.5 disconnector, extended mag release, and extended floorplates to aid/speed reloads. I like it. Points naturally for me.

I also added a Punisher slide plate...just 'cause :-)

I think it is a dang good idea. If she don't like it or can't shoot it well you have not lost anything unless you pay too much for the gun. Best thing about any Glock is that you can sell it easy and fast if the price is decent.

Found a used g30 last year. Love it. Your wife probably will too.

i just picked up a g30sf from a member here a few weeks ago, and its pretty sweet. i think you and your wife will both enjoy it.

It's a great carry piece. Mine is an SF, but I've owned both. It's

the primary piece for me.

I love the way mine shoots, but it feels like I'm carrying a brick IWB, so have gone back to the G23 for every day carry. Probably would feel better if I lost about 10#......

[Guest spoolie]

Well she doesn't need to lose any more weight....I'm going to GnL tomorrow if someone wants to go.

Why a 30? I think most ladies would prefer a g19 with a higher capacity and quicker follow up shots. I had a 30 and loved it, however it would not be a top choice for my wife.

[Guest BigMitch]

I own the Glock 19 and a Glock 30 SF(both in my profile picture) and my girlfriend is tiny she loves the Glock 19 for the lower recoil and more grip so I would suggest that.....

[Guest Sgt. Joe]

Sorry, but from your thread title I thought you were asking about marrying a Glock 30.

Either way I would like a 19 better, but dont own either. It does seem that a smaller person would prefer the 19 but whatever makes her happy and comfortable is the correct answer.

[Glock30]

The 30 is great. Recoil is quite manageable and she will adjust with some practice. If it's just for target practice, the 19 is your best bet. Can't go wrong with either one. My girlfriend will tell you she prefers the 19 but doesn't mind the 30.

Regardless, always good to know how to shoot EVERYTHING that's laying around!!

I learned to carry mine at about 4 o'clock and it's comfortable. It conceals really well and doesn't bother me at all. I use an inexpensive Ace Case leather IWB.. works with every Glock I own.

She fires all my 1911's all the time so the G30 isn't anything crazy...I got it for the size, she carries a small purse and doesn't like holsters.

I don't think I would like my wife carrying a Glock anything in a purse. That's more of a holster gun. Just

think about reaching in a purse and pulling it out. Just

saying. Don't you think something with a hammer or a

small revolver would be better in a purse? I love my

Glocks, but the trigger will be covered in a holster.

My wife doesn't carry and I wish she did, but it would

probably be a revolver, if I had any say.
