Glock lists the chambering as .45 Auto; the directory records it as .45 ACP (same cartridge). The owner's manual spec table (p. 57) matches the product page. Optional magazine capacities are not listed. Corrected 2026-08-12: this record previously stated that Glock publishes no launch release for the G30 Gen5 and left year introduced blank. The January 2024 SHOT Show release announces the G29 Gen5 and G30 Gen5 together and was found while verifying the G29; it had been missed because the earlier search read it only for .40 S&W models. Every measurement was re-checked against the product page on 2026-08-12 and was unchanged.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale. Values marked ≈ were converted by this directory from the unit system the source published; the unmarked figure in the same row is the published one.
Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.

04What are the dimensions of the Glock G30 Gen 5?

Glock publishes 177 × 35 × 122 mm / 6.97 × 1.38 × 4.8 in (height: including magazine). Any measurement basis shown is the manufacturer's own qualifier; where none is shown, the manufacturer states none.

05How much does the Glock G30 Gen 5 weigh?

Glock publishes 675 g / 23.81 oz without a magazine; 745 g / 26.28 oz with an empty magazine fitted. These are different measurement conditions and are not interchangeable.

07Is the Glock G30 Gen 5 striker-fired?

Glock publishes "Safe Action" as its own name for the action and does not classify an ignition type for the G30 Gen 5. This directory records the manufacturer's wording and leaves the ignition field empty rather than inferring a classification the source does not state.

08What is the trigger pull on the Glock G30 Gen 5?

Glock lists 26 N / ≈5.85 lb. A published figure is a specification rather than a measurement of any individual firearm.

09When was the Glock G30 Gen 5 introduced?

2024, per the source cited on this record. Where a manufacturer publishes no dated announcement, this directory records no year rather than estimating one.

10Does the Glock G30 Gen 5 have a warranty?
