Going to buy a G21...

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Standard or SF model? Thoughts. Thanks. ** Gen 3.. unless there's a reason not to.

 

[SpitFire]

Standard.

Liked my g20 SF when I had it, small hands. SF MADE A big difference.
Built a Lone Wolf 10mm. Even better

I have the G20 standard mdl gen 3. Factory and 10 inch It's good. I believe stage20 is "holding" a 6 inch factory barrel for me.

I've never held a SF but big hands like the 20.
Whats your reasoning to have a 21 if you're already sporting a 10mm?

Mag compatibility with a carbine, knowing Rebel

I had a full size Gen2 G21 and I loved it. About 3 years ago I had her completely rebuilt by a Glock factory armorer at a Glock Day at Maine Military Supply, for free, using brand new parts off of brand new guns he brought from Glock for show+tell. He was super impressed somebody was still running a Gen 2. Then I went thru a phase where if anything I owned didn't have a light rail it was on the chopping block, and I got stupid and sold it cheap to a FFL. Live and learn....

I hear Gen3 has the best corrosion resistance out of all the generations

I have a Glock 30 gen 3. It is the Glock 19 of the .45 acp models. Rebel_Rider1969 you are welcome to test drive mine if you are undecided!

Been wanting a double stack 45 acp. Just figured why not get the G21. I really like the 45 acp round. Got a roni to install it in and leave it. Curbing my urge to build a .45 ar.(hopefully) Transfer the G20 over to the Recover brace so I can use the 6 inch or 10 inch barrel easily without whittling on the roni. ( it's way too nice to whittle on)

Get the Gen 4, so your mags fit a Kriss Vector. Also easy to convert to 33rds.

10” barrel assembly?

G20.

Good tip. Do ya have to have the gen 4?? I thought all g21 mags interchanged??

 

[pcolagunner]

G20.

Right on, didn’t know they had a 10” barrel

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

I don't think they make it anymore. Lone wolf maybe?? I don't think the power gain is that much, maybe accuracy? I'll try and see when home. Should aggravate the fudds at the camp so why not, lol

Been trying for a few weeks to snipe one off gunjoker, no luck yet.

Good question that I do not know the answer. Let’s ask the experts? Anyone?

Glock mags are interchangeable, unless you swapped the mag release for a lefty. In that case you need the Gen4/5 mags with the cuts on both sides.

As for the OP question, in my experience, a Gen 4 frame feels "smaller" than a Gen 3 SF, and both are definitely "smaller" than a Gen 3 standard. Regardless of G21 or G30.

For giggles, try a G30S. That's a G30SF frame with a "melted" G19-size slide in length And width. Accepts standard double-stack Glock 45ACP mags, too. A CCW favorite. Size of a G19, punch of a .45, capacity options of a G26 (10 rounds flush fit, or whatever higher capacity you want, but it will stick out the bottom of the grip), and shoots very comfortably with a "soft push" recoil.

Good info, thanks. Going to use it for the roni and don't know if it would accept that size glock.?? I'll have to take a closer look at the g21 Gen 4.
