Simply so, what is the difference between a Glock 30S and a Glock 30?
The primary features are the slimmer slide width (1†as opposed to 1.12â€) and lower slide-assembly weight (it's a full 3.5 ounces lighter than the G30 slide assembly) and with the SF frame, the 30S has a slightly shorter trigger reach and overall grip radius as compared to the plain G30.
One may also ask, will a Glock 30 magazine fit a Glock 30S? Yes. Glock 30S and Glock 30SF use the same frame.
Secondly, what does the S mean in Glock 30S?
The GLOCK 30S pistol successfully combines a short frame (SF) with reduced grip size and a slimmer slide (S), with the powerful 45 Auto round.
Which Glock .45 ACP is the best?
In reality, the Glock 21 is actually one of the best, and most affordable, . 45 ACP pistols on the market. The Glock 21 carries thirteen rounds in a double stack magazine that is wider than the 1911—but is not uncomfortable to hold.
