I have both (even though I can't carry where I live at present). I have found both to be excellent handguns. The G30 is a gem, maybe a tad chunky in the grip, true, but I think that may help soften the recoil. I like it enough that it is my primary house gun; I trust it. You won't find many pistols with that combination of accuracy, firepower, reliability, and relatively low weight. Consider it a Lightweight Commander for 2005.
