I bought a G-30 a couple months ago. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet. I believe if I were doing it again I would go with the G-36 or the new slim frame(short frame).The grip on the 30 is on the wide side and when the double stack magazine is fully loaded it's quite heavy to becarrying concealed for a long period of time.I've carried it a few times even though I haven't fired it,just to get the feel of it.There's quite a difference carrying that G-30 compared to my G-27.I have big hands so the wider frame doesn't bother me.The weightmakes the difference. If you compare the size of the 30 to the 27 there's not more then a nickels difference in size.

Let me give youguys a tip if you have a Glock and want Nights sights.I prefer Trijicon N.S.I've had the Trijicon's on my G-27 for years, I finally had them replaced after 12 plus years of service out of them.They were still very useable but wasn't quite as bright as they once were.I got a price from Trijicon for the G-30.The sights were 99.00,plus they wanted 30.00 to install them.This pricedid include thereturn shipping.Before shipping the slide I called Glock. Glock carries Trijicon and Glock NS's. I think they may carry other brands. For the same Trijicon sights Glock wanted 72.00w/ free installation. It also included the return shipping.Glock did require my state's sale tax which Ishould havequestioned since I don't live in Georgia.All together it was right at 50.00 cheaper for the identical Trijicon sights using Glock instead of Trijicon.
