I went to the range with a friend of mine today. He brought along a 21SF, 30S, 30, and 36. I shoot mostly revolvers and 1911s, but I wanted to try the Glocks. Here are my impressions.
The 21 shot pretty well for me. It was accurate enough for me, and its recoil was mild. It has a thick grip, though, which was somewhat hard for me to hold effectively. (I have medium-sized hands.)
The 30 and 30S were easier for me to grip effectively, even though they have the same diameter frame than the 21SF (I think). I shot well with both of them. The 30S has a noticeably slimmer slide than the 30, so that would be my choice if you're thinking about concealing it.
The 36 was surprisingly disappointing for me. For some reason, it seemed to recoil more than the 30 and 30S. I thought that I would like it because of the slimmer grip, but that wasn't the case.
My favorite of the four was the 30S. Later this morning, we moved to the silhouette range, where I hit steel with it three of five times at 50 yards. That's plenty of accuracy for me on the first time shooting the firearm.
