While I'm generally a 1911 type, I do have a G30 and a G23. I like the G30 a lot: the recoil is tame, my particular gun has a great trigger (for a Glock), it's accurate and very "shootable," and it's utterly reliable. The G23, on the other hand, is much easier both to conceal and to carry (at least for me), it does have the three extra rounds available, and it is likewise utterly reliable. Despite my preference for certain features of the G30 (not to mention an even stronger preference for certain features of the 1911 and even some revolvers), when I take *everything* into account, I would pick the G23 if I were somehow (God forbid) limited to only one handgun for all occasions and for all purposes.
