Is The Glock 30 Gen 5 The Best .45 acp Carry Gun?
About this video
Colion reviews the Gen 5 Glock 30, a subcompact .45 ACP pistol, comparing it to his beloved Gen 3 Glock 30S. He argues this is one of the best polymer .45 carry guns available, praising its shootability, manageable recoil, and updated Gen 5 features including improved grip texture and front serrations. Colion explains why he believes this gun excels for concealed carry in states with 10-round magazine limits.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that the Glock 30 series handles .45 ACP recoil exceptionally well for its compact size, shooting almost as smoothly as a Glock 19 in his experience
- According to Colion, the Gen 5 Glock 30 improves on the Gen 3 version with better aesthetics, grip texture (which he calls ‘fake RTF2’), ambidextrous controls, and front slide serrations
- Colion advises that for carry in states with 10-round magazine restrictions, he prefers this gun’s 10 rounds of .45 ACP over 10 rounds of 9mm due to the larger bullet diameter
