glock 30...Can it convert to 10 mm

[RevolverMan567]

I know I can Call Glock but I will not have time to get in touch with them for a few days and when I can do that I am hoping i will have a few replies so that i can avoid it. Has anyone ever converted the 30 into a 29 by swapping out the barrel and mags. I have a 30 and want a 29 so that i have a 10 mm. Any advice is appreciated.

Breech face and extractor of a .45acp and 10mm are too different (.45 is basically .05" larger in diameter) so you would need to swap slides with a G29 as well.

.40S&W and 10mm use the same breech face.

I imagine it will be easier and cheaper to just buy a 10mm.

You can't.

Just buy a Glock 29 like I did

And the answer is yes, see this site: http://www.kkmprecision.com/g30.html I use a 10mm conversion unit in my Glock 21 and I have had very positive results. Regards, Richard

There are about a dozen G29s on Gunbroker under $550 ... so it seems to me that you could sell the G30 and buy a G29 for a lot less money/time/hassle than trying to convert it to 10mm.

"... so it seems to me that you could sell the G30 and buy a G29 for a lot less money/time/hassle than trying to convert it to 10mm." By doing this the shooter misses out on a pistol that shoots two or more calibers. I shoot my G21 with both the 45acp and 10mm barrels. Regards, Richard

Go over to GlockTalk and read about some of the problems people are having with the KKM 10mm conversion barrels.

Sorry but conversions sohould only start with the strongest fram.

G20 - 10mm, 357 sig 40SW

G35 - 40SW, 357 sig, 9mm

And the like.

My Glock 21 only shoots 45 ACP.

If you want built in conversions, get a SW625 or better yet, join me in the 610 club.

No conversions neede - 10mm or 40SW you choice
