Anyone know of plans for a midsize Glock .45? In the 19 size range? I think Glock calls it their compact size.

The Glock 30 is so close in size to the 19 it is unbelieveable.

The G30 is a bit wider thru the slide and back-strap. But they are virtually the same height. The G19 has a 4" barrel while the G30 has a 3.78" barrel, IIRC.

Both are tough as a bank-vault. Both are as reliable as a stone axe.

I chose the G30...your results may be different.

Good Luck either way. You won't lose on this choice!

Cheers!

Thanks Mntneer I had not known that. I was looking at the 36 with a grip extension such as

But now I will look more closely at the 30. Thanks again.

Current hot rumor is the G38 in GAP.

Wow your right, they are almost dimensionally the same, thanks again.

IMO (we know what those are worth) what we really "need" is a single-stack G17 sized .45ACP. I'm sure the GAP is a fine cartridge, but I don't want to mess with buying another caliber.

My G21 is great, but it is a little bulky. A 1911 sized, single stack Glock .45ACP with say a 8+1 capacity would be the perfect carry gun, expecially with a G36 thickness slide.
