    Got a new Glock 30s under the pretense that it would use full size mags but guess what? The full size mags do not work! I get a few rounds ran and it fails to feed. Just a heads up for anyone that buys one of these. It’s a great fun just have to use the mags that com with it

    So using Glock 21 OEM mags and they are giving you issues? Never had that issue with my Glock 30 when I had it, but it was not an S model. Again, I never had this issue, but it could be possible that you are pushing the mag out of alignment depending on how you are gripping the pistol/extended mag.

    If you are not using OEM mags, toss them and start again.

    IIRC a 30s is a g30 with a g36 top.
    My g30 (gen4) runs g21 mags w/o fail.
    There was a small run of g21's (picitiny rail, convertible L/R mag release) seems like I remember those mags doing something weird in g 30s ..maybe somebody else can chime in?

    I have two G30sf's which use the same frame as the 30s and both of mine run my G21 mags with no issue. If yours will not run with G21 mags, might be worth a trip to the mothership for remediation

    Same here, my 30S runs G21 mags with zero issue. Interested in knowing what kind of mags you are using. Glock mags or aftermarket?

    I have not had any issues with using those mags either. Have ran a few hundred rounds with them.

    While I can't comment on the 30/21.

    My 26 runs 17/19 mags fine

    My 19 runs 17 mags fine :dunno:

    Are they factory mags? The only after market glock mag I'd use is the magpul. And that's range use only. When they get a little dirt in them they're not as reliable as factory.
