Compact Glocks - Key Point: The combination of firepower and concealability makes the Glock 30 an excellent backup handgun for law enforcement or a concealed handgun for those who can legally do so.
The most powerful and compact Glock pistol is a mix of old and new technology. The Glock 30 subcompact pistol combines the .45 ACP cartridge, a product of the Industrial Revolution, with modern pistol technology. The result is a highly concealable gun that, once drawn, has few equals.

The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) cartridge was developed by the prolific firearms inventor John Moses Browning. The US military's experience with the .38 Long Colt round during the Philippine insurgency left it wanting a more powerful round capable of neutralizing with fewer hits. Fighting the Filipino rebels, sometimes hand-to-hand, divided the fighters into two categories: the fast and the dead. A single shot wound from the .38 Long Colt was often not enough to bring down an insurgent before he landed with a sawn-off weapon.

In response, John Browning developed the larger and heavier .45 ACP round. The .38 Long Colt round typically delivered 180 foot-pounds of energy to the target. The .45 ACP round, on the other hand, easily delivered twice as much energy. Along with the M1911 series semi-automatic pistol, also a Browning design, the .45 ACP was the dominant pistol caliber of the US military for over sixty years.
The Glock pistol, designed by Austrian knife manufacturer Gaston Glock, was a revolutionary striker-fired pistol that featured a combination of high-capacity magazines, reliability, and simplicity of design. Invented to fulfill an Austrian army contract for a new service weapon, the original 9mm Glock 17 was a worldwide success.
After the successful launch of the Glock 17, the company gradually expanded its range into other calibers and types of pistols, especially compact and subcompact. The ecosystem has grown to include everything from long 9mm pistols to subcompact 10mm pistols. As a result, it was inevitable that Glock would eventually release a subcompact .45 ACP, the Glock 30.
The Glock 30 is one of the smallest pistols chambered in .45 ACP. It has an overall length of 6.97 inches, a width of 1.38 inches, and a slide width of 1.12 inches. Height is 4.8 inches. The Glock 30 has a barrel length of 3.78 inches, as opposed to the full-size Glock of 4.61 inches. 30 pistol weighs 23.81 ounces unloaded and 33.69 ounces fully loaded. Like other Glock pistols, the Glock 30 has a polymer grip and frame coupled with a Melonite-treated metal slide.

The difference between the two widths is entirely due to the G30's use of the .45 ACP round. The G30's magazine holds ten .45 rounds in a staggered, two-column arrangement. (An alternate magazine holds nine rounds and sits flush with the bottom of the case.) An even larger load will hold thirteen rounds, but sacrifices concealability. Like all semi-automatic pistols, a Glock will accommodate an extra round in the chamber in addition to a full magazine.
Every Glock pistol features the company's Safe Action operating system with three built-in safeties. The drop safety prevents a Glock from accidentally discharging after a fall. Meanwhile, the safety devices and trigger ensure that the gun will only go off if the trigger is actively pulled and will not fire if the user reduces pressure before reaching the required twenty-eight newtons of force. The Glock platform does not use a manual safety.
The combination of firepower and concealability make the Glock 30 an excellent backup handgun for law enforcement or a concealed handgun for those who can legally do so. Although small, the G30 doesn't skimp on raw power. The subcompact Glock .45 seems to suffer from less muzzle slip than other large-caliber, small-frame pistols. The recoil of the .45 ACP cartridge, generally considered firm recoil, is generally rated as less than might be expected for a light handgun. Powerful, reliable and controllable, the G30 might be Glock's best subcompact pistol.
