sold on the 45 acp. whick glock 30 or 36?

[Young_gun7]

I went to the shoot with a buddy today and had my 40 glock and my friend brought his 45 flocks. Of course mine was very snappy but when I shot the 36 and 21 and love how they feel. I'll sold on the 45 it handles better than my 9 mm and 40. Only is the 30 good cc? I know the 36 is perfect but like carrying extra rounds

36 is the only GLOCK with issues. Get the 30.

I've owned several 36's...

Sold them.

Still have my 30

The 30 feels a lil brick like on the hip, especially in the summer, but like Sensei said, "It's meant to be a comfort, not to be comfortable. Carried a 30 for years. I concur with these several others. Unless the price on the 36 can't be ignored, go 30.

Get the 30SF. I have carried mine for about 7 months now. If you get a quality holster such as a Crossbreed, Galco, Raven Concealment, you will forget it is there. I work at Barney's and have seen several 36s come back with various problems. Never had a 30 come back.

When g lock makes a 1911, I'll recommend that to you.

Im leaning towards the 30 sf but should shoot both again before deciding.

What kind of problems do 36s have? I owned one about a year ago and dont remember any issues with. I recently bought another one because i missed it and was wishing i had never sold it in the first place. I do find that more people like the 30 over the 36. But the 36 is just so much fun to shoot!

The Op. wants extra rounds and reliability.

i have had my glock 30 for 6 months shoots great,carrys great id ger it or the sf model

 

[lawarren0351]

I personally have seen 4 with problems. 2 of them would fail to feed using various mags with various ammo. Out of the other 2, one failed to extract and the other would fail to eject. I have ran thousands of rounds through my gen3 30sf with many different types of ammo and have NEVER had a single malfunction. The one of the 36s was an older one and the other 3 were purchased within a year.

I've got a 36 with about 2K rounds down the pipe with nary an issue. I have been very satisfied with mine.

 

[Leadfoot]

G21.

 

[MOTOR51]

G36 is a great weapon for CC. I have owned both and the 36 carries better for me. The 30 holds more rounds so its a toss up I guess.

G36. Sucks with the wife, I have no problems. I agree with LSP.

 

[Young_gun7]

I'm holding off on getting a 45 but will eventually.

 

[SHOT1]

I have the limp wristing disease, but it doesnt show on my g36. It showed bad with a berreta px4 sc though. I really think it comes down to personal preference. Shoot them all and pick the one u like best.

Have a new G36, and w/ std. 230 gr. ball it's a little easier to shoot than my G23 w/ 180 gr. ammo.

W/ 230 gr. +P loads it is ~ the same.

Seems to run flawlessly so far.


Really like the G36 as it is a little trimmer and lighter than the G23 I'm used to carrying, and don't think Seven rounds of .45 ACP 230 gr. HST in hand is all that much of a disadvantage.

A second Mag or Two takes care of any ammo shortages.


The G36 is a little slower to reload than a std. Glock because of its mag base configuration. but w/ a little practice it's gettin' better.

Sure carries nice.
