Yes.

In fact, My G30s is setup like this right now.

You have a G30S slide on a Gen 4 29 frame? That sounds like a pretty good setup.

I do. It works quite nicely.

I, being a weirdo, like the larger beavertail backstrap on the Gen4 frame, in addition to the LH magazine release (I'm a righty, but use my index finger to release the mag due to stubby, retarded thumbs). I also have a G20 smooth face trigger and polished 3.5lb connector in the G29 frame.

The G30s slide is noticeably thinner than the G30/29 slide when carried.

My G29 slide is setup for outdoors use with an extended/threaded barrel and a Trijicon RMR. Not the ideal IWB setup, but great in a chest holster in the middle of a river.

I've also used 45 SMC and 45 Super through the G30s. I could probably have this as my only handgun and have it serve all my needs.

I am picking up a G29 gen 4 this weekend. There are quite a few G30 slide assemblies on ebay. The Gen 3 slides are cheaper than the Gen 4 slides. Lots of conversion barrel options as well. Have you tried the xgrip sleeves on full size mags in yours?

No, I just use a naked 20/21 mag. She likes it better that way.
