To many Americans, there is only one caliber for a personal defense handgun and that's the .45 Auto. GLOCK acknowledged that sentiment with the development of the GLOCK 21. For law enforcement applications, the magazine capacity is 13 rounds and that's almost twice what's normally carried in the 1911 pistol of military fame and legend. To those who believe that personal defense starts with the numbers "4" and "5" (and in that order) the GLOCK model 21 has been the answer to their prayers.

→Out of a Glock 17, 21, and 22, which is better for police duty?

2007-10-15 15:54:51

I personally like the Glock 21, but I'm simply a fan of the .45 ACP so its easy to see why I'm drawn to it. I also like the 17 (9mm), but haven't heard much about the G22 (.40). Any input? Anyone have some info bout the G37? I believe its either .40 or .45??? ...and yes I do like Kimber's and Springfield's .45 ACP, but I'm looking for a Glock right now...

Answered By: S R

Many LE agencies have switched away from the 9mm and gone to .40 or .45. I personally own a Glock 30 (.45). It is compact and perfect for concealment when I am wearing enough to cover it. At work, everyone carries a .45. Some carry the Kimber that looks like the 1911, but I and several others carry a Glock 21SF. In my experience with shooting a Glock 17, the recoil seems to make the barrel jump up more than when shooting a .45, that seems to recoil straight back and allow me to stay on target. At least that's how it works for me. I strongly recommend a .45 for duty carry. I can see why you would be a fan of it. You may have more shots with a 9mm but that's because you will probably need them. They just don't have the stopping power of the .45. I can tell you that the Glock 21SF is one SWEET gun. You really need to get one in your hand and see how it feels. If you can't hold it, you can't shoot it, so pick up a couple different models and see how they fit your hand. The difference between the 21 and the 21SF is the 21SF has a smaller grip size and ambidextrous mag release--can come in handy for support hand shooting. I don't like the Picatinny rail system on the 21SF because it causes problems with some holsters and just plain looks ugly so be sure to specify the Glock rail. I know some people have trouble qualifying with a .45 but I really believe it is mental. Anyway, if a .45 doesn't work for you, I would go with the largest caliber you can shoot a good score with (not just qualify) because the most import thing really is being able to hit your target. As for the .40 ... I think it is just a compromise round that is bigger than a 9mm but gives you the ability to carry more rounds. I think you lose on both ends of that compromise but most people would disagree with me. Anyway, I carry my 21SF with 14 rounds (13 +1). I think that is a pretty respectable amount of firepower.

Answered By: FRAGINAL-NOYPI

Technically, all handguns are accurate and you just have to train to be able to hit the target always for application in real life in case shooting will be inevitable. Glock 21, 22 and 233 are good guns as well as Caliber .45 pistols.

→I need to find a holster for my Glock 21sf, something inexpensive bt with quality.?

2007-04-18 13:18:02

I bought a Fobus holster that will fit the glock 21, but with the piccatinny rails on the weapon, it will not fit in the Fobus GL-3 holster. Can someone help me find a holster for my Glock 21sf w/piccatinny rails???????

Answered By: Mama Pastafarian

I'd go to the gun store and try several different holsters until I found one that I liked that fit my weapon well, was comfortable to wear, and that has a proper retention system. If the holster doesn't fit well and isn't comfortable, you're less likely to wear it or to wear it properly. And I know you don't want to spend a lot of money on a holster, but when you buy cheap, you buy twice (or more). Spend the money now to get a good rig, and you'll be happier and spend less money in the long run.
