The Top Glock 30 Holsters

g30-angleSince the 1980s, the Glock family of semi-automatic pistols have taken the American firearms market by storm. Gaston Glock, an Austrian engineer, brought the industry a unique perspective by using his engineering prowess to leave a lasting imprint on the firearms culture and its citizens for generations to come.

What has become known as ‘America’s Gun’, the Glock 17 was Glock’s first ever foray into firearms and was originally designed for the Austrian military. It soon became the choice of hundreds of law enforcement agencies, thousands of officers, and millions of civilians throughout the United States and around the word.

The Glock 30 is a fine example of the evolution of the original Glock design. In the Glock 30, ‘America’s Gun’ is mated with ‘America’s Cartridge’, the .45 ACP, on a compact frame designed for covert and plainclothes law enforcement, military, and legal concealed carry owners. The standard 10-round magazine fully loaded brings the carry weight of the Glock 30 to just over 33.5 ounces. With the length at just under seven inches and height just less than five inches, the dimensions of this design makes this a very concealable pistol with a very potent and powerful punch.
