Glock 30 Gen 5 – .45 ACP

Glock 30 Gen 5 – .45 ACP (10+1 Rounds)

The Glock 30 Gen 5 is a compact, double-stack .45 ACP designed for shooters who want full-power .45 performance in a carry-friendly frame. It offers excellent accuracy and controllability straight out of the box, backed by Glock’s Safe Action system and the latest Gen 5 improvements.

At its core is the Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) with polygonal rifling and an improved crown for increased accuracy, even with the shorter 3.78″ barrel. The Gen 5 frame removes the older finger grooves, making the grip more accommodating to different hand sizes, and adds an ambidextrous slide stop lever for easier operation from either side.

In standard configuration, the Glock 30 Gen 5 uses double-stack .45 ACP magazines with a 10+1 round capacity, with optional 13-round magazines available in some markets. This gives you serious big-bore firepower in a package that’s still compact enough for concealed carry or plain-clothes duty.

Despite being chambered in .45 ACP, the G30 Gen 5 remains very shootable: the slightly chunky grip spreads recoil over a larger surface area, and the compact slide keeps the gun relatively short for easier concealment. A standard accessory rail on the dust cover allows you to mount a compact light or laser for low-light use.
