I have had my Glock 30 for over 8 years and carry it daily and use it for IDPA competition.

It is extremely accurate, its recoil is very reasonable, it has been extremely reliable and probably approaching 9000 rounds, it is very easy to maintain.

I do not have large hands and the 'S' model was not available at the time. I might have chosen that one at the time but am so accustomed to it now that I would not bother with the switch now. I am so very satisfied with it that I have, literally, never considered changing my every day carry weapon of choice.

It is not ideal for IDPA because of the sight radius, but it shoots better than I do. Any errors have nothing to do with the pistol. I have a Glock 17 which would be better for competition but I rarely shoot that. I use the Glock 30 in IDPA because it is fun to shoot and I want to maintain my skills with my carry weapon.

I have shot an XD 45 but it was not the compact version. It is also a nice gun but it did not tempt me to change.

Hope that this helps.
