Hey Guys,
I'd be interested to know, from people who have owned this gun, if it lives up to the hype. I'm a very satisfied G19 owner(since '93) and have thought about getting the G30 as an additional carry gun for my collection. I've already decided to acquire a custom 1911, so I figured I'd also get a G30 as a knock-around carry piece, since it eats the same ammo.
Are there any problems with it that I should be aware of, specifically in the area of reliability?
Has anyone out there had a any jamming/feeding problems when the gun has been decently maintained and used with factory jacketed ammo(including different kinds of hollowpoints)?
By the way, I said "decently maintained", and not "well maintained", as one shouldn't have to baby a Glock as much as many of the other brands out there. I believe that all one should have to do with a Glock is keep it relatively clean and lightly oiled, and replace the various springs every once in a while(It is a military design, after all).
Have there been any cases of kb's with factory ammo, including +p stuff like Cor-bon, that were due to the fault of the gun in any way?
Is anyone unhappy with their G30 in any way, or have a bad story of any kind?
Does anyone have anything to say in praise of it, in a way that separates it from the other guns in their collections.
Are there any custom 1911 owners out there who prefer to shoot or carry their G30? Would you recommend it over the 1911, even though they are very different?
