well i purchased a glock model 30 (.45) yesterday and going to the range this after noon, im going to break it in on factory loads then off to the reloding table can't wait. will post how it shoots when i can . anyone have any experience with the model 30?

 

You have a fine weapon but I wouldn't shoot reloads in it. Glock specifically warns against this in the manual and for good reason. There are design features/peculiarities about Glocks which make using reloads with them a very dangerous practice. Don't even use factory reloaded ammo in them.

Glocks are fine weapons. I trust my life to Glock 21 .45. They don't take well to reloads however.

This page will give you a rundown of the reload issue when it comes to Glocks:

I like Glocks. I don't shoot .45, but for new 115-grain FMJ 9mm at $.10/ea, to me reloading 250-500 cartridges at a time just isn't worth the small monetary savings of reloading when considering the involved labor and time. Unlike my revolvers and rifles, my polymer auto-loaders like any FMJ I put in them.

 

well i shot 270 rnds on sunday and it shot very nice not one jam. shot 20 jhp reloads with no problem. i am aware of what glock says about reloads glocktalk.com has plenty of people shooting reloads with no problems. if i were shooting a 9 mm i would't reload but .45 shells are about twice the price. we shoot alot of rounds so it saves us a decent amount of money.

 

Congrats on the purchase! Glock is an excellent gun.

 

I love the .45 slow shooting but I'd hate to be the guy that trys to break into my house. I recently bought a ruger kp345pr I't seems to jam on the last round from the clip, I'm thinking weak spring. Is it possible to disasemble the clip and stretch the spring?

 

they may offer aftermarket mag springs for your gun.

 

Congrats on the Glock! I trust my life to glock by choice, though I have to use 9mm not my choice! I have shot a 30 and loved it, but hell I love all glocks! I have a friend who reloads all his glock ammo except 9 and he does not have any troubles, he is the one who has the 30 he also has a 20, yes come to papa! I will have one!

 

I've been shooting my uncle's .500 S&W. Man I want one.

 

I got a buddy who is hunting whitetail this year with a S&W .500 mag
