Glock 30 or 36

In my book, definitely the 36. You give up 4 rounds in capacity but benefit by less weight.
The G30 with a full mag is 33.86. Add a spare mag and you move up to 43.73 ounces in weight.
The G36 with a full mag is 26.99. Add a spare mag and you move up to 33.87 ounces in weight.
Thats a difference of 9.86 ounces in weight with 1 spare mag.
In addition the G36 is a slimmer weapon, making it a lot easier to conceal. I had a hard time getting a full grip on the G30. With the G36 I can get a proper grip with no problems. This was something I thought about if I ever had to use my weapon while it or my hands were sweaty and or wet from water.
Accuracy is better than I could ever hope for and recoil is manageable. I find that it recoils about the same as a G27 with Corbon 135gr JHPs.
To really get a perspective of how easy and slim the G36 feels, you need to try to get a "loaner" to carry for a day. I believe you will walk away impressed.
Good Shooting

neither, the G30 is fat and clunky, with only 10 rounds, and the G36 is allmost as fat, and clunky, with only 6 rounds. Both hurt to shoot with full house ammo, and the G36 really hurts. No Glock smaller than a G19 is worth concealing, and actually, a G17 conceals just as well, and you have 19+1 of 127 gr +P+ More is better, lighter is better, and really, a 127 9mm going 1,550 fps out of a G17 is really better. Try before you buy, talk all you want, but just wait until you shoot a G36, or G30, after you parted with all those $$$$$
