  • Thanks Freedom Gun for hooking us up with the ammo, hopefully this review will give you guys an honest view on how it performed, me personally I didn't like it, however thank you everyone for subbing to the channel we've almost reached 1000

    Bought a gen 5 last week. I've never had better grouping with a pistol.

    Been carrying the G21 since gen3. Only time I have seen the 5 or 6 O'clock ejection was when some guys used cheap ammo at the range. G21 is designed to fire the +P self defense rounds and I have never had a similar issue, as I saw with yours. I saw another comment in here about, low powder charges...I would say that must have been what you were experiencing. When Glock designed these, they made the slide heavier than the 1911 variants I am sure you are familiar with. The polymer lower required it, since the 1911 is an all steel gun. One reason the recoil is managed so well in my opinion. Have you tried it with more standardized ammo like Federal ball ammo?

    Thanks for the video brother. You've been experiencing a known issue to some Glocks called "Brass to Face". I had the same problem with a Glock 19 Gen 3 regardless of what ammo I shoot. I sold the gun since and bought a 19X instead. I still have two 19's that shoot just fine.

    If you keep shooting light loads I suggest a lighter recoil spring, less than 17-18 pounds. Try between 14-16 pounds.

    My EDC is a G21 since 2004, gen 3, thousands of rounds! Once my front sight blew off, replaced it, never had an issue. Two changes I made: 2,5 lbs trigger & extended slide stop

    Glock 20 in 10mm has more power and you can get 15+1 round magazines and depending on which ones you get some will hold 16+1 rounds so 3 extra rounds and depending on what ammo you use id really versatile in 10mm . Extra barrels in .357 Sig use the same magazines and you can get a Glock 21 slide and barrel that will fit on the Glock 20 . Then for a lot of practice the Advantage Arms .22Lr kit works well with the right .22Lr Ammo . Custom barrels are available too . 😊
