  • The Glock Model 21 was introduced on 1990 and is part of their Large Frame Series. In 45 ACP caliber and 13+1 Magazine capacity, this is a Gen 3 SF (Short Frame) model that I purchased from AIM Surplus as a Police Trade In.

    Love mine. I have the Glock models 20, 21, 40, and 45. But it’s the 21 that’s in my nightstand. The .45 ACP is slow and fat like me, but I’m good with that.

      The reason a Police Sergeant ditched his G21 for a G17 was firepower. He was on his last magazine with only 2 rounds remaining. His final 3 shots were to the bad guys cranium. In the police academy, we watched a video of a Texas DPS trooper shoot an elderly skinny guy point blank to the abdomen. The trooper holstered his pistol because he was brainwashed that the big .45 was so devastating. It turned out the DPS had many failures with the Sig Sauer P220 and switched to a +P. They switched to the .357 Sig which was a stellar caliber.

    Great work highlighting the pros and cons of this classic Glock! I am a 45 ACP fanboy, and bought one of these way back in the early 90s. Still have that same pistol today and it sits right alongside my .45 Colt and another classic, a .45 Sig P220 in the safe. You are right on target (no pun intended) that it is a big gun to hold, but still relatively light given its size, and especially in comparison to the Colt. I take the 21 to the range every time I go, and I honestly can't think of the last time I had any issues with it. It shoot straight, recoil is manageable and it never fails to cycle the next round. All in all, a great pistol for a classic caliber. If you own a Colt or other stell framed .45, I strongly recommend you pick one of these up as well. You won't be disappointed.

    I have this exact same gun and I love it ! I do change the sights on my Glocks as soon as I get them . Tritium Night sites make these guns even better. I won't be downing the 1911 though , I'm a sucker for the 1911s , they are really incredible guns especially since the design is over 110 years old . Something else I do with my Glocks is the .25 cent trigger job , which is a fancy way to say polishing all the trigger's connecting points where they touch metal to metal with a dremel tool, It don't make the trigger any lighter but it does make it much smoother , no grittyness when you pull the trigger .

    I removed the front and rear grip texture, also the finger grooves and did an undercut. Its like a totally different gun. I hear alot of folk nowadays have issue with the size of the frame, but 20 years ago it was common to do a DIY grip reduction. I think with all the advertising for "professional" customization has made it a forgotten art. American culture as a whole is a forgotten art.

      Honda: I agree with the analogy. A pretty vanilla design where dealers try to sell you on all the upgrades. (When they try to sell you leather seats on the Honda i always respond with “but then how will i hose it out?”😉)

    Enjoyed this video. I had just taken out my Glock 30SF shooting today, for the first time in a while. I had forgotten what a joy to shoot the firearm is. I proudly own the 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29SF, 30SF, & 36. Somehow the 21SF has not been on my radar, until now. As much as I love the 30 & 36, this one must be even better.

    I've owned several sf 21s. I could shoot them well enough. But got rid of them for other glocks. I just picked a le trade in gen 4 and it fits even better the the gen 3 sf. I love it. It is a 2013 and has the old finish on it and carry wear but no real wear from shooting it looks like. This one will never leave my collection for sure

    I own the Gen 4 full sized model. While it shoots solid right out of the box, trigger system did need some refinements. Put in a Ghost trigger bar and spring kit which took it from the factory pull to around 4 lbs and really helped with the reset, plus made the trigger feel less notchy. Put in a Lone Wolf threaded barrel and ran a suppressor on it with Trijicon suppressor height night sights. Everything else is stock and so far, I've been very pleased with the pistol.

      @@donshipman8441 opinions vary. Facts are facts. Glocks are not nail drivers. That's a fact. Avg material used to create an avg gun at a far than above avg price. Anyone willing to pay 600+ for a glock needs to broaden their horizons. Are the reliable? Yes. But so are so many other handguns on the market with far better materials creating a far better construction below or at the same cost. I can name a plethora of handguns that out perform glocks every day and twice on Sunday. Not opinions, straight facts. The only thing glock has that the others don't? Great PR and ignorant customers. 9 times outta 10 men hate being told they are wrong and they are willing to die on their choice of sword rather then get a better sword. So many companies now make just as reliable handguns as the glock with far better performance numbers, ergonomics, which, let's face it. Glocks ergonomics are shit! Their sights are literally some of the worse sights on the market and their prices have never matched their products. Not opinions bud. Facts. Why do you think there are so many options for aftermarket add-ons for glocks? I'll tell you what. Seeing as so many people in their opinions compare glocks to Honda civics. Why don't you go look online and see how much aftermarket crap you can pile on to a Honda. Then go look and see how much aftermarket shit is available for....say....a lincoln. Or a Jag, or a BMW...you'll find that it's not nearly as close to the Honda. Wanna know why? There isn't much point in adding crap onto something that is already awesome but there is a point in adding on to something that is below avg and blah to fix said below avg and blah.

    Back in 1994 I bought the Glock 21 when I started out as a police officer. I'm 6ft 2 with large hands and I had to develop a shooting style because of the grip was so large . I shot 98/100 at the Academy. Years later I just wanted something smaller and more concealable and I got the Glock 30 SF. It's very accurate and better to grip. Those ole Glock 21s are a brick but a good pistol of you can handle them lol

  • @58allendavis
    @58allendavis Před 7 měsíci

    I am a real newbie to Glocks, having been a disciple of Jeff Cooper from way back in the days of my youth. I carried a full-size 1911 Series '70 Colt for 24 years on a daily basis, even though I'm not a big guy by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, I mass 140 pounds soaking wet and stand at only 5'-8". And I never thought I'd own a polymer framed pistol until I was gifted an M&P 9 Shield EZ -- in 9mm, naturally. Let me add that the Browning Hi Power has actually always been my favorite pistol on earth, even back in the day, but it was "only" a 9mm -- and it was before manufacturers began making 9mm ammunition that actually worked as advertised. I got my Glock 21 SF as a partial payment for a debt and was skeptical about even keeping it because it's just a big, BIG gun. However, after a few range trips with it, I find I'm falling in love with it.
    As I said, I'm a real newcomer to the Glock, and judging from your video, I believe I have the Gen 3. But my magazine release is ambidextrous. It's not reversible and this point confuses me. I know it's not a Gen 4 since the backstrap on my Glock is definitely solid and non-interchangeable. Plus, I have a single recoil spring like yours.
    I admit I used to scoff a bit at Glocks. Mainly over my cosmetic complaints due to its ugliness, but I always knew the Glock was a true world-class firearm in every respect. I still think it's uglier than a stone fence, but you're right about the 21 being a real pussycat. Despite everything I've always heard and read, I am able to use lead bullets in my gun -- provided I take care to "de-lead" the barrel thoroughly after each range session. However, after about 200 rounds, I find I frequently need to nudge the slide forward less than 1/8" to get it back into battery. Cleaning the lead fouling out is easily accomplished by wrapping some "Lead Away" cloth around an old, worn-out .45 caliber bronze brush and "lapping" the barrel with it, then following up with a conventional gun solvent.
    I want to thank you for the excellent video you presented here. It was very informative to me and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I do wonder if you can answer my question about replacement triggers. I can't quite get the hang of the factory trigger because of the "mush." I'd like to know if anyone makes a trigger that presents less overall travel, thus eliminating the "mush." I'm sure I could learn to live with the trigger I have, but I managed to work the trigger over quite nicely in that little M&P EZ pistol. And I've been told I accomplished quite a feat in doing so.

The New York State Police transitioned into them a few years ago from the Glock 37 and its’ .45 GAP round, and the NYSP’s weapons training expenditures were cut almost in half due to the ammunition. They run Gen 4s with a Streamlight TLR-1 on the rail, with custom holsters. Every Trooper I’ve talked to about them loves the handgun/light setup. Now, I’d we could only get the 10-round magazine limit overturned by SCOTUS … which has a good chance of happening … !
