SMYRNA, Ga., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- After releasing the highly popular
G21 SF at the 2007 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida, the Austrian Handgun
manufacturer announced today the release of the compact version of the .45
AUTO short frame pistol, the model 30 SF. The newly released pistol
includes new features to the GLOCK pistol that have been desired for the
last couple of years by military, law enforcement and civilian markets.
These features were fulfilled with the G21 SF pistol and the GLOCK 30 SF
offers all the accuracy and power of the model G21 SF in a more-compact,
highly concealable, faster- handling .45 AUTO companion pistol. These
features include the GLOCK tactical rail for modular mounting of GLOCK
Tactical Lights and weapon accessories. The 30 SF also features a hammer
forged octagonal rifled barrel with a 1 in 15.75 inch rate of twist
designed for increased durability, low maintenance and precision of
accuracy when firing.

With the "SF" designation, the G30 receiver has been reengineered to
provide a smaller diameter grip, resulting in a trigger reach that is more
comfortable for individuals with smaller hands. This reduction in the grip
does not affect the pistol's reliability and accuracy.
In order to utilize older magazines with the G30 SF, the ambidextrous
magazine catch will not be offered as an option as it was with the G21 SF.
With a magazine extending slightly below the receiver, the G30 SF offers a
10 round magazine capacity. The compact form of the G30 SF makes the pistol
a perfect backup weapon for law enforcement to attach to their protective
vests or comfortably carry in a concealed rig.
The G30 SF will be available with the GLOCK Standard Rail design that
will allow the use of all GLOCK Tactical lights (GTL 10, GTL 21, GTL 22,
GTL 51 and GTL 52). This standard feature on the G30 and G30 SF continues
the tradition of excellent reliability and dependability of GLOCK lighting
products designed for the GLOCK family of pistols.
All GLOCK pistols, including the new G30 SF are backed by the GLOCK
Limited Lifetime Warranty. With exceptional world-class customer service
and support provided from the GLOCK, Inc. plant in Smyrna, GA, GLOCK

progression of our product line as the G30 SF meets the need for a
concealable and reliable backup pistol for Law Enforcement and civilian
concealed carry requirements harnessing the powerful .45 AUTO cartridge in
a shorter frame."
