    Neither my models 30 or 21 have ever failed and they have seen thousands of rounds each. We also rent both of these models on the range and I have never seen a failure. I personally have never liked or shot the 36 very much. I have shot but never owned the 41. I don't remember ever having been asked your question before and it is interesting. My answer would be to chose the model you like best. I don't think any will give you problems.

    Any of them...21, 30, 36, or 41, they all are flawless. They are Glock's. I would abstain from the models in 45 GAP...expensive ammunition, and hard to find.

    The guns themselves will run without a hiccup, the person shooting them, not so much. The lighter the firearm, the more chance there may be for a limp-wrist induced malfunction. This would not be the guns fault, simply the fault of the shooter to not provide the firearm a stable enough platform from which to operate. Choose accordingly.

This would not be the guns fault, simply the fault of the shooter to not provide the firearm a stable enough platform from which to operate. Choose accordingly.It's not the weight of the pistol that's the issue, it's the weight of the frame.

    A semiauto pistol is designed to work within certain slide to frame speed parameters and failure to properly support the frame at the moment of discharge gives a slower slide/frame cycling rate.

    As for broadly stating such stoppages are due to shooter error...

    Bear in mind that the classic 'limp wristing' stovepipe stoppage that comes from the grip frame being allowed to move upon discharge can also result from a poor grip. An ultra-lightweight frame is nice because it's more comfortable to tote around, but it can also lead to cycling issues on a pistol carried for defensive purposes.

    Gunfights are highly unpredictable events and the shooter's poor/loose grip could be due to injury, fluids on the grip frame, simply getting in a really big hurry while nose to nose with a threat, etc. Given such circumstances, the heavier the frame the more forgiving of poor frame support the pistol is going to be.

    The capability of a pistol to fire, extract, eject and feed under the widest range of circumstances is critical on a defensive gun. Comfort and convenience take a back seat.

    The Glock 30sf rocks

    I have a 30SF and 36. Both have been flawless (see caveat below) with the 30 being exceptionally accurate. If the compacts run reliably, then you should not find any problem with the full size.

    One work of caution, I did have a problem with the 30SF when I first got it. After the first shot, I would get light strikes on the firing pin and the cartridge would not detonate. Took it to the armourer and he found the recoil spring was a little light and the slide would not go all the way forward. Replaced the recoil spring and everything okay.

    Same thing happened with my 26.

    I have 2 G21's and a 30. No problems with any of them. If there was a "less" reliable model than the others, Glock would not let it out of the factory.
