Today’s lead article by our Senior Product Review Editor, Pat Cascio, is near and dear to my heart. This is because I and all of the adult members of my immediate family carry either Glock 30 or Glock 30S pistols regularly. I personally recommend the .45 ACP Glock 30 pistol for all but the most frail shooters.
But please heed this advice: Learn how to maintain it [1], buy a practical holster for it (I prefer the BladeTech Kydex holsters [2]), buy plenty of spare magazines for it (and half of those should be the larger Glock 21 magazines that hold 13 rounds), buy several magazine pouches [3] for it, and get the very best training that you can afford, at a top notch school like Gunsite [4]. Your life, or the life of your loved ones may depend on it, sooner than you think! – JWR
