Re: Glock 30 or 36 for Concealed Carry?
My everyday carry for three years is a Glock 30, regardless of the weather in a Comp-Tac CTAC. I typically carry it with a 9 round mag that fits flush with the mag well and use 10 round mags as spares.
The advantage of the 30 vs the 36 is the additional rounds, as well as the ability to use your 13 round mags from your Glock 21. The disadvantage of the 30 is the width of the frame (the 30 will be the same as your 21), with the 36 being slimmer (1.13" vs 1.27"). My opinion is that the biggest factor in concealing a firearm is the width of the frame, followed by the height, and length is negligible.
All in all, you'll have to decide what is best for your purposes. I wouldn't be surprised to find a 36 in my collection at some point.
