Hybrid Big Bore
History of the GLOCK Subcompact G30S in 45 Auto
The G30S is a hybrid pistol made with a slide from one gun and a frame from another. Law enforcement requested a .45 Auto pistol with the capacity of the G30 but the size and weight of a G36. One agency in particular was installing the slide from a G36 onto a G30 SF (Short Frame) frame. The thinner G36 slide is thinner and weighs less than the slide from a G30 and shaves 3.5 ounces off the weight of the G30 SF...
The SIS And The GLOCK G30S
Los Angeles Police Department Special Investigation Section Big Ask
Different situations often called for special solutions. A few years ago, the Los Angeles Police Department’s SIS Unit, the letters stand for Special Investigation Section, decided they needed to have a special run of weapons made to be more effectively armed. In case you are not familiar with this Unit, it is dedicated to making arrests of serious, typically violent criminals. Members of the Unit typically will follow known criminals suspected of continuing to commit acts of violence. Then arresting them when they do so or locate then arrest such individuals.

Now you can go back to the future with the new release from Lipsey’s: The GLOCK G17 Gen1 Classic. GLOCK fan boys and girls you are going to like this retro gun...

GLOCK G30S
REVISTING GLOCK’S HYBRID .45 AUTO SUBCOMPACT
It has become a 9mm world and that begs the question if the .45 Auto should be retired and if .45 caliber GLOCKs are still relevant? Since the G30S was introduced, a decade has gone by with law enforcement dumping the .40 S&W as well as the .45 Auto for the 9mm, though a few LE agencies still field .40 S&W and .45 Auto GLOCKs...
