About the Glock 30 Gen 4

Glock introduced the original 30 in 1997 as the subcompact .45 ACP version of the Glock 21. The Gen 4 update (2014) added reversible magazine release, interchangeable backstraps, dual recoil spring assembly, and rough-textured frame. Standard configuration: 10+1 capacity (accepts G21 13-round magazines for range or backup use), 3.78″ barrel, 26.8 oz unloaded. The 30S variant pairs the slimmer G36-style slide with the G30 frame.

Why the Glock 30 Gen 4 Holds Its Value

The Glock 30 Gen 4 retains value because it solves the small-.45 problem better than most competitors — the double-stack design keeps capacity at 10+1 while the subcompact frame stays concealable. .45 ACP enthusiasts who want Glock reliability without the full-size G21 footprint gravitate to the 30. Used demand from concealed-carry permit holders supports steady pricing.

Original 10-round magazines and any included 13-round G21 magazines each add $20-30.
