Glock started their SF (Short Frame) series of pistols with the Glock 21. At this year’s SHOT show, Glock introduced the model 30SF.
The Glock 30SF is based on the Glock 30: a compact, double stack pistol chambered in the ever-popular .45 ACP. The SF version shaves about 3mm from the backstrap, and improves the overall thickness creating a gun that fits better in the hands of many people. The 21SF was a very popular introduction, and the 30SF should be as well.
The Glock 30SF has the typical Glock rail and magazine release, not the Picatinny rail and ambidextrous release introduced with the 21SF.
Glock did not announce a definite shipping date, but they anticipate a mid-year roll out.

Shaved backstraps and hicker handguns are not what Glock needs to spend time on. If they were to release a model with a decocker (think Walther P99), double action and an actual safety, their populatrity would increase. While I own a Glock 23 and do not need those features on said handgun, it would be nice to see a model that was friendly to the amature shooters out there. Compete in functionality with Walther, Sig and H&K.

It IS double action, and there is no need to decock because it doesn’t actually cock until you pull the trigger.
