I think that the G19 is the sweet spot for what you need. The G17 is significantly larger and only nets 2 more rounds. I prefer the Gen 4 models because you can add various sized backstraps to adjust the grip. If it has to be a .45 I'd go with a G3oS.
Plastic fantastic.

Also, on the .45 and 10 mm compacts(29 and 30), they are called subcompacts but are much closer in size to the 19 than a 26.
I really like Glocks a lot, and have for a long time. That being said, the .45s and 10mms are BIG. If you think you want one I would at least go fondle one in a store before buying.

If you come to the gun cleaning party at truprep I'm sure there will be a few glocks you can fondle.
I do want to avoid adding another round, so no 45 gap or .40

Easily my biggest disappointment with Glock - that they chose to do their own round rather than building a G19 sized .45
I've heard that from other folks as well. It's just like you mentioned about the G17 vs the G21/G20 - The G19 and G30S just don't feel the same. I wanted to pick up that one you had for sale so I could give it another chance.
Came here to say this lol. Thank you. Big diff between slim and short. The SF is shorter NOT slimmer.
The 30s frame is wider even though the slides are identically sized. Since the retention in a holster comes from the trigger guard, your 30s fitting in a 19 holster confuses me lol
Yes if that springer is a 1911, not so much on the XD's

I loved both xdm's I owned. I'll probably buy another before the year is over. I treated them like ho's and they never failed me.
My first pistol was an XDM and I always thought I was a horrible shot until the first time I shot a 1911, a springer loaded in fact.
