Try to hold a XD45Compact. Same caliber, same capacity, slimmer grip, lighter but longer trigger, grip safety, steel sights, ambi mag release, steel two piece guide rod.
The grip is different than the G30, more like most other non-Glock pistols.
I like Glock pistols, they work and they're light. I have owned Glocks for many years, and have been a Glock armorer for years. I work for a LE suppier that has had the Glock LE program for 20+years and I have shot, held, sold, fixed, modified and returned to Glock many pistols. They, just like every other mfg, have problems once in a while. Especially when you see such numbers of guns. Glock Perfection is a slogan, nothing more. It's is interesting the following Glock gets on their guns. That is what happens when you build a quality product at a fair price and market it to the right people in the right way.
The XD pistol line is hot right now, and for good reason. Same with the M&P. They are both viable alternatives to the Glock pistol for HD/SD/DUTY work. HK and Sig produce very good weapons for this role, but come at a higher price.
My point is that you have options, getting the right gun the first time takes time. Go out and see, touch, and feel every gun you can that fits the role you need. Caliber is secondary to shot placement, so find a gun that fits you well and you can shoot well.
Just my $.02
