\"glock-30-mags\"<\/a>We wanted to report on Damsel’s Para Ordinance Warthog, but she’s still breaking it in. We will post something next week for sure. <\/p>\n

Today, however, I would like to report on my new Glock 30. The picture at the right shows the pistol in a Bianchi holster. Two ten-round magazines are supplied with the pistol and are shown loaded with .45ACP ammo.<\/p>\n

I really like this gun. As is the case with my Glock 26 9mm pistol, it’s accurate, smooth and easily stripped for cleaning. I’ve had it out to the range three times now and have had no problems. <\/p>\n

Out of the box, it just started performing like an already-broken-in semi-automatic pistol. No jams, no feeding problems and the only complaint I have is with my own ability to hand-load the last of the 10 rounds into the magazine. I eventually get it done, but it takes considerable force. (I am NOT a wimp!) Eventually, the springs will relax and it will be easier to load.<\/p>\n

The Glock 30 is an affordable .45 ACP carry gun. It offers a compromise between size and capacity coupled with the stopping power of the venerable .45 ACP.<\/p>\n
