I currently own the new Glock 21SF. Great piece of machinery, although I'll admit I liked the original Glock 21 just fine. Anyway, in my time I have owned two Glock 30 compact .45s. I have found both to be nearly if not just as accurate as the Glock 21s.
I have a personal taste for smaller firearms (compacts) and am debating the feasibility of using a Glock 30 as a combat sidearm instead or in addition to the Glock 21. Not merely as backup, but as a primary sidearm (as primary as any handgun gets to your rifle).
I intend to take some tactical pistol courses with Tactical Response and the like, and I am curious what my fellow gun-lovers think about one using a compact Glock 30 in lieu of a full sized Glock .45? Does anyone have any experience with this?
I am currently employed as a Fugitive Recovery Agent, although I'll admit I aspire to move into the private security sector, be it overseas contractor work or domestic personal protection. Does anyone see any particular benefits or negatives of the Glock 30?
One part of me think if I perform fine with it, what's it matter? Another part notes that there is a reason why the full size Glock is so popular in these roles over the G30. Fellow High Roaders, please chime in with your two cents...
And please no suggestions as to other brands or calibers. Yes, Hk USPs and Glock 9's are fine. I'm soley interested in Glock .45's for the purposes of this post.
