Primary Caliber: .45 ACP

The Glock 30 is a subcompact, striker-fired pistol chambered in .45 ACP, introduced in 1996 as the concealable counterpart to the full-size Glock 21. Despite its short grip and barrel, it carries 10 rounds of .45 ACP in a double-stack magazine, offering full-power performance in a package small enough for concealed carry. The Gen4 model adds a reversible magazine catch, the Modular Backstrap System, and a rough-textured frame.
