Another 200 rounds went downrange this morning from the Glock 30. It was a flawless display, with not one hiccup for me to report on. Even the hotter .45acp hand loads were handled with aplomb and grace, and the weapon is very easy to control.
It's boring to have nothing to report on but perfection. I've been carrying the pistol every day since it's first range session, and have perhaps 1000 rounds through by now. So far, my one and only complaint is that Crimson Trace does not make a laser for the G-30 SF model yet, and won't even review the idea for at least three months (CT engineers only meets quarterly to discuss new models).
It's a smoothly functioning machine, almost boring in it's predictability and dependability. Exactly what one desires in a defensive weapon.
I approve.
On another note, today I discovered that my cheapo paper plate targets offer me a training option at the range. If I attach them to the backer with just the very edge of the clothespin, the target falls off after just a few hits. That means I hit it, it falls down, and I move on to the next target which is a royal pain in the behind until I call it a reactive target and shoot it as such.
"Bang bang bang (fall down) transition.. Bang bang bang (fall down)..... he he... impromptu and cheap fun. The other folks in the next bay looked around the berm, saw all the trouble I was having keeping my targets stuck up there, and offered me more clothes pins........
I don't think they understood why I was laughing.

:-) Reactive targets...LOL Bout as bad as the guy that kept shooting the target spotter a few weeks ago. At 600 yards!
I comented on your last post saying that glocks were like bricks and I didnt care for the appearance. After reading your post you got my wheels spinning and I went and bought a Glock 36 to carry. Its the same gun more or less except its thinner and holds 6+1. I do have to say Glock does make a great gun. I am a big fan now. Granted they look plain but now I realize that they are plain for a reason. Less is definalty more. The only thing i dont care for it the slide release. It's too flat. Not much to grab on to when letting the slide forward on an empty mag. But I ordered and after market one that had a little nubby for better grip.
I have been a 1911 lover all my life.
I just ordered the Glock 30sf. I'll post my thoughts after it arrives.
Number one son loves them (owns three).
Number two son thinks like me...1911.
Time will tell.
See Ya
A friend has one of those and I must say it is a lot of umph in a small package. I am curious about how it does at moderate distance. Does it shoot more like a full sized Glock or more like a snubby revolver?
1911 Fan here also, but I've carried a Glock 36 for the past 9 years. No crimson trace for me either. :-(
Hey teach. Where you at? I'm missing your fine blogging.
Joe
P.S.- Everything okay?
Little Joe....
Thanks for asking. Yes, I am doing okay.
Lack of blogging.... life is just that busy. Back in school teaching, taking 6 credits of PSU courses, busy personal life... just no time left.
I have not been shooting in months, and I only blog what I know and do... nothing is made up. So, not much blogging right now.
I'm sure it will pick up again, eventually.
