I carry a Glock 43 as my every day, with a G19 for occasional carry. The G19 feels tiny IWB when compared to the G30. That said, it's all a matter of personal preference. Just figured I'd share since I've thrown the money down and said "I can make the concessions!" myself, followed by a very quick sale of the pistol in question.

If you're not fully committed to going Glock, you might try out the Springfield XD in .45, they're a lot slimmer feeling than the Glock .45 pistols (with the exception of the 36, of course)
Funny thing. I actually had the chance to feel a Glock 30. It did not feel comfortable at all. I have since decided the Glock 26 is the route for me.

Yea, it didn't fit my hand particularly well either. Glock 26 is a great choice. Gotta love a compact that shoots almost as comfortably as a full size. I carried one for a year or two, myself. Pretty comfortable in the right holster, I favor the Blade-tech holsters.

Give the Glock 43 a try. It will change your mind about micro carry guns.

I'm with you on that one, I love mine. With my preferred self defense rounds it leaves a group at 7 yards that you can cover with a quarter.

It does wear me down pretty quick at the range (I know, not it's intended purpose), around 100 rounds and my hands start getting a little too shaky for good aim.

I've also added Taran Tactical's +2 base plate and the new +3 on my spare that I carry around and I can still hide it IWB very well
