Gen4 Glock 21

By NRA Staff (RSS)

August 20, 2012

Combining the ever popular .45 caliber round and a well known design, there should be little surprise that the Glock 21 has found its way to Gun of the Week status.

Now up to a Gen4 build, the G21 is a duty size pistol that sports a capacity of 13+1. The new model has a handful of upgrades, including interchangeable backstraps.

The G21 is tough, reliable and a .45. What's not to like?

I have a gen 3 21 and love it. It is in my bio safe and quite accessible at night, if ever needed. Approx 1000 rounds through it with various loads and never a hiccup.

Carry my Glock 21 Gen 4 on duty most days, except on days that I feel like carrying my Glock 22. I put my trust in both of them.

The only thing I don't like is the price. But you get what you pay for.

Rodger- If it aint broke, don't fix it. The same is true of replacement. You have a great pistol. If it works, keep it. FWIW, the Gen4 21 without adding any of the grip inserts, has the same grip size as the 21sf models. But the Glock 21, in any flavor, is always a great choice! (if your hands are big enough lol)

I have this gun. It is an awesome gun. I have put over 2000 rounds through it and it has never jammed, or miss fired.

Man I LOVE Glocks. G21 is my favorite. G30's no punk either. Too bad I only own a 26 and a 23. But those are my babies so it's ok.

I won a Gen3 G21. Truthfully I do not like the RTF of the Gen4 pistols. I hope they'll make the Gen3s until I get all of the Glocks I want.
