What? The G30S is the G30 with a G36 Slide. The G30SF is a slim frame modification on the G30. Why in the world would Glock two seperate guns? Some places makes me think that the current G30S may be the thinner slide AND the slim frame.. I'll know more in the morning.

The G30 Gen 3 has been discontinued. The G30SF Gen 3 has the same slide and barrel, but a slimmer frame. The G30S Gen 3 is the G30SF frame with the G36 Gen 3 barrel and slide.
The G30 Gen 4 is still out and it had the same specs as the G30 Gen 3 in relation to the slide and barrel, but the frame is slightly thinner than a G30SF Gen 3 frame.
I had a G30 Gen 3 for over 10 years, but the wife hated it. Too wide in the grip and too heavy. We bought a G30S Gen 3 and she loves it. I'm good either way, so I sold my G30 Gen 3 to Baba Looey on this forum. He was after it for years and is now happy as clam taking it to the range.

Glock's website indicates that the 30S is the 30SF frame with the smaller slide.
This is what I see too... Doesn't make a lot of sense to me but then it is Glock logic. Buddy has a G30SF he says wants to trade me for my second G36. If it doesn't have the G36 slide like the G30S I'll never trade. He will have it in hand for show and tell in the morning.

No G36 Slide but traded anyway.. He is a good friend and he wanted the G36 to carry. He had one but his daughter in law took it. This one was my backup G36... Ordered an OWB from Crossbreed for a G30SF... The bulk of the G30 steered me away from a IWB holster.

I've always carried my G30 Gen 3 or my G30S Gen 3 IWB, but it sure as sh*t is heavy with 230 grain Gold Dots. Other than the weight the IWB has always been comfortable for me, but this is one of those preference things. So if OWB suits you better, then i think you made the right call. |

Right. I have a 30SF and it shoots better for me than I’d expect. Just like milkshakes and burgers, thick can be better (or not)!  Anyone else remember that ad? |
