Glock 30 vs 1911: My Hard-On for the Glock 30 Continues...

About this video

Colion compares the Glock 30 SF to the Kimber 1911 Stainless Pro Carry II as concealed carry 45 ACP pistols. He argues that while the 1911 is more aesthetically pleasing, has a superior trigger, and feels more refined in hand, the Glock 30 wins for carry purposes due to higher capacity (10 vs 8 rounds), better concealability, softer recoil, and Glock reliability. Colion concludes he would choose the Glock 30 for everyday carry despite the 1911’s classic appeal.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes the Glock 30 SF offers better concealed carry practicality than the 1911 due to higher capacity, more compact size, and proven Glock reliability
• According to Colion, the 1911 has a superior trigger and more refined ergonomics, but the Glock 30’s higher bore axis helps manage recoil better than the 1911
• Colion teaches that for daily concealed carry subjected to real-world conditions, the utilitarian Glock 30 outperforms even beautiful, classic 1911 designs in reliability and ease of use
