GLOCK, Inc Unveils the New 30S Pistol Model SMYRNA, GA —January 14, 2013 — SHOT Show Sets the Stage for Unveiling of Latest Offering from GLOCK Today GLOCK, Inc. announced a new addition to its pistol lineup - the GLOCK 30S. The conceal-and-carry hybrid pistol features impressive stopping power consisting of a factory-made 36 slide on top of a 30SF frame. Its compact design and simple operation allow smooth drawing in a .45 caliber pistol. The 30S packs 10 rounds of .45 ACP in a package that fits the hands of most any user. The G30S is easy to use, easy to conceal and tough to contend with. “The G30S platform has been more than a year in the making,” explained Josh Dorsey, GLOCK Vice President. “Our original request from the field - particularly from law enforcement - was to have a more concealable .45 that still carries 10 rounds, so we utilized the G30 SF frame after it was thoroughly tested, presented and accepted as the desired frame for the G30S.” The full details of the new model are outlined below: Dimensions Length (overall): 177 mm / 6.97 inch Length (slide cpl.): 172 mm / 6.77 inch Width: 32.5 mm / 1.28 inch Height with magazine: 122 mm / 4.80 inch Barrel length: 96 mm / 3.78 inch Length of twist: 400 mm / 15.75 inch Trigger distance: 72.5 mm / 2.85 inch Trigger travel to discharge: 12.5 mm / 0.49 inch Length between sights (polymer): 150 mm / 5.91 inch Weight Pistol w/o magazine: 575 g / 20.28 oz Magazine std. empty: 70 g / 2.47 oz Magazine std. full (depending on ammo used): 280 g / 9.88 oz Magazine capacity (rounds): 10 Barrel profile: right hand twist; octagonal Standard Trigger pull: ~5.5lbs Muzzle velocity V0**: 787 fps Muzzle energy E0**: 317 ft lb **depending on ammunition used Visit GLOCK at the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Tradeshow (“SHOT Show”), in booth #12254, January 15-18, 2013 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, in Las Vegas.
