For those that have one of these Glocks, what are your comments on their accuracy and recoil/muzzle flip? Do you like them? How do they compare to a Glock 36?

Loved shooting the 30, didn't really care for the 36, had a couple jams with the 36. The 30 seemed very accurate (I normaly shoot a 20-10mm) and recoil was very mellow. (for a seasoned shooter-not beginners guns). The 36 was snappy and did deliver a little sting (not bad) to the web of my hand.
Muzzle rise was minimal compared to HK's or SIG's.
On GlockTalk, 30's have a great rep.
For more opinions go to GlackTalk - the big dawgs club.

Hi Rustbucket
I just got a Glock 30 and would like to hear others view on the accuracy @ 15 yards. At that distance I can barely keep it on a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. I don't know if its me or the gun. I have shot 230 grain ball ammo and some 185 grain Golden Sabre factory and reloads. I know its not made to be a tack driver but was hoping for more. any suggestions?

Wolverine,
I'm afraid it may be you - or something not right with your particular gun. My 30 will shoot one hole clusters at 15 yards, on one of my better days of course. You might want to have a gunsmith take a look at yout gun.

AW,
I have no doubt that the biggest problem with accuracy with the large bore Glock compacts is the trigger. May I suggest lots of dryfire pratice? Then a good bench session to convince you that the gun is very accurate before you go back to the off hand. Concentrate on the basics of, grip, sight picture, and trigger press. Bet you'll be pleased with the results. I went to a 3.5# connector and a reduced power striker spring in my mdl36. It shoots one ragged hole for six shots from the bench at 15yds. I went back to the standard connector and striker spring for carry to increase reliability and safety. I can shoot an offhand group in this configuration of about 4" on a good day at 25yds. Your Mdl 30 should be capable of the same right out of the box. Don't waste your money by taking it to a smith. Without spending a LOT of money, very little improvement in accuracy can be attained with this platform. I also have a mdl 21 in this caliber. I might sell the 21 someday, but the 36 stays!

Another Glock 30 fan here! 3.5 # connector, polished all internal steel parts with dremel polishing wheel, the gun shoots just fine! Feeds every type of bullet, hits where its aimed.

The Glock 30 that I own is GREAT, I just love it.

I shoot all the time and it has never failed.

My Dad shot it once and he was not very accurate, but as I shoot alot I am more accurate than he is.

His one complaint was the "long" trigger pull. I did not even notice it, just used to it I guess.

I only keep 9 round in the Magazine, as I have lost a Magazine that was full to 10. Other than that, PERFECT.

My G30 gets me 10m one hole groups almost everytime...now I am not saying its as wonderful as my bro's SPringfield Longslide 1911...but for a small/light gun...10m means sub 2" group everytime...practice, practice, practice...

love my 36!

ditto, only thing I will add is that mine hasn't hiccupped yet. A good strong shooting grip, and you're good to go!

I haven't found the "pinching" part on my 36 yet either, and I've some pretty good sized hands.
