It conceals like a G19, but you have 10+1 230 grain pills on board , with a standard G21 mag as a spare (13 rounds). This makes for a great outdoorsman's handgun.

For a guy who wants one gun to cover home defense, animal defense, as well as concealed carry, this is a pretty fair choice. It is not perfect, but it does a lot of things well, in a package that fits in many G19 sized holsters.

That is hard not to like.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

As much as I love my 19 and carry it all over, if I had to go with rural and urban I would chose the 30S.

Now, if the oft mentioned apocalypse/meltdown were to happen, I'd probably revert to the 19 because I think 9mm would be easier to find/scrounge...


Mac, I'm with you on the G19. I've been carrying it for a month or so in a Kirkpatrick OWB Texas Stong Side, much like a Milt Sparks 55BN, Askins Avenger or Bianchi equivalent.

Next carry gun/next Glock will be the 30S for reasons you guys have already covered. And, as Hi Vel mentioned, I just wish the grip length were a tad longer. Have handled several , but have not yet had opportunity to handle with a 13 rd mag.


In regards to wishing the grip was a tad longer, take a close look at the pic of my G30S.

I relieved the underside rear of the trigger guard. This allows a higher grip. I also slightly knocked down the finger grooves. These small things made a difference.

THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL.

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.
