The Forgotten Glock: Why the Glock 30S Deserves More Attention

The Glock 30S: A "Forgotten" Firearm

• ❓ The video questions why the Glock 30S seems to be forgotten and receives "no love" from the firearm community and media.
• 💡 The speaker admits to being guilty of forgetting his own Glock 30S, noting it's rarely discussed anymore despite Glocks' general popularity.

Features and Comparisons

• 🎯 The Glock 30S is described as a variation of the Glock 30, featuring a thinner slide and contoured front similar to Gen 5 Glocks.
• 📏 It's considered a mid-size pistol, closer in size to a Glock 19, but chambered in 45 ACP.
• 💥 The pistol is shown to be effective for target practice, even hitting a gong and a propane tank.

Potential Reasons for Being Overlooked

• 🤷 The speaker speculates that the Glock 30S might have been overshadowed by later models like the Glock 41 or Glock 21, which also feature thinner slides.
• 📉 Another theory is that the general decline in popularity of the 45 ACP caliber in favor of 9mm ammunition might contribute to the Glock 30S being overlooked.

Enduring Qualities

• ✅ Despite being "forgotten," the Glock 30S is highlighted as still being a very nice pistol and seemingly very reliable.
• 🛡️ It's suggested as a great option for personal defense and concealed carry, especially for those who prefer the 45 ACP round.
