There isn't anything about this combo that I don't like.  Ran 200rds through it this afternoon until my vision began to fail from the torrent of sweat running into my eyes. (110F heat index today)

Smoothest stock trigger I've ever felt and the recoil is a pussycat.  No failures of any kind and the brass dropped into a neat pile.  

I've got an early G17 Gen4 that has run perfectly for me, but I don't think that the G17 really benefits from all the Gen4 features as much as the G21.  I've owned four G21's over the years, and always found them a bit large and slippery for my hands.  This one's a winner.

Hmmm. I'd like to hear more about this, after you've had more time with it.

How much did it cost, if you don't mind?

I'm going to run a shitload of rounds through this.  My Dillon XL650 is just waiting to crank out a bunch of flying watermelons.

I'm LE, so I get the 'special' pricing.  You can get the same price through GSSF with some dealers though.

In the G21 and G20 are Gen4 grips any smaller than the SF versions?

If so I think it might be the perfect time to get a 10mm for deer season.

I couldn't really tell the difference, but lots of folks out there swear that they are smaller.  The extra grippyness sure helps though.

Not yet.  I plan on buying a KKM conversion so I can shoot 10mm in my G21.  I'm not going to shoot a lot, but would like to take a whitetail this fall with it.

Ahh, this is an option I had not considered. Just a different barrel and mags like the 40––->9 swap, yes?

So is that a department issued gun, or can dealers now get them under the Glock LE purchase deal?

I got it from our local LE dealer; not a dept issued gun.

Ed's Public Safety had five on hand when I called yesterday. They received the first ten that were released on the market.

I emailed Glockmeister yesterday to ask when their aftermarket recoil rods would be available for these (so I can put heavier springs in it when I use the 10mm conversion bbl), and they said that there were no Gen4 G21's in private hands yet because even the LE distributors hadn't even gotten a hold of them yet.  I had to send a pic of mine, and advise them that Ed's has had them since May 24th.  They were a bit shocked.

Hmm, i guess my gen 4 glock 21 doesn't exist and i have been dreaming. ha ha.

Anyone heard of any issues with the Gen 4? I have been wanting to pickuo a G21 SF for sometime, but haven't seen one in stock locally for quite awhile.

I have been happy with my Gen 3's, but some of the feedback on this model has me considering the Gen 4...

It doesn't have one.  The slide is just pushed back into battery by awesomeness.  

j/k.  I'll try to get one up in a bit.  Off to work now.

You wouldn't know if Gen 3 mags would work in the gen 4 21 would you?  I have a ton for the 21sf and just ordered the Gen 4, but don't want to have a bunch of different mags

Glock sure would have shot themselves in the foot if they made a gun that wouldn't take the previous generation's mags.  

All G21 mags will work in the Gen4.  The only caveat to that is if you are left-handed and plan on reversing the mag catch to the other side; then you need the newer ambi mags.

Thanks for the info.  I am "correct" handed, but prefer my mag release to be on the left side of the pistol so that will not be an issue.

Just a few questions.

Does the extractor look like the newer ones being used in the 4th gen 17 19 22 23 ect?

Does it have the slight dip in the top of the extractor?

Is the Extractor MIM?

Is the Locking Block MIM?

Is the Firing Pin MIM?

Just wondering. I've looked at the pictures. Just can't tell about the extractor.



Thanks again

eta: by the way, how do you like that NTAC holster?

Love my 21SF, but will be buying the first 21Gen4 that I see.  The magazine release and texturing are awesome on my 19Gen4, I won't have to use Talon Grips anymore.

I have been putting off going to a .45 for my duty gun because I could not find one to fit my hand and have the round capacity that i was looking for. This review is making me want to go find a gen4 21 and give it a whirl.

They are really nice. We had over half our officers switch over to them and there isn't a single complaint yet.... Which is amaizing!
