Hahn Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 For our Company "memory piece" from this shitty deployment, were getting Glock 21's (full size 45). They're suposably only going to be $400-500 so i figured i would get one considering there so cheap and if i ended up not liking it then i could turn it for a profit. I know some love em and some hate em. Never fired one though but i hear there extremely reliable and extremely minimalist. Any ways, looking to hear personal pros and cons of the gun. They was originally going to go with some 1911s but they was going to be OD Green with some lame ass Company or platoon engraving so nobody wanted it. Thanks in advance. -Hahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I prefer the slim frame version of it.. Its nice though, it has the "I mean business" look to it hehe. No cons from me except the regular version is a little much for my hands thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yea i hear there huge, but i plan on using it primarily for home defense and maybe a winter carry. Do the back straps make a difference with the grip like on the M&Ps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Mine has never jammed. Close to 3000 rounds through it so far and not much wear shows. Sometimes I don't even clean or lube the gun between using it. It doesn't matter it always works. Google Glock 21 stress test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ya they do if you have smaller sized hands. The SF version just feels a lot better for me thats all. Winter carry this would be a HUGE piece lol, you would have to wear a coat and never take it off to hide it efficiently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have the 21sf, great gun overall and I would recommend it to anyone. With your Mil discount it will be $464 plus tax, so right around $500 out the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hahn, the military price in most gun shops would be worth waiting to make the buy. I personally don't like the feel of the glock and went with another well known company. Don't put money where you can't make changes with it is the way I see it. Unless, you are looking to sell it for profit. I hope all is going well up there for you and your guys today. Tough times. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 13 rounds of .45ACP is hard to dismiss. I too have the G21SF and love it. I've run almost every combo of 185-230 grain rounds with no issues what so ever. If you can get it for cheap, do it. It's one of my favorite Glocks I own.

Well if its going to only be $400 like the unit is predicting then it seems worth a try at the very least. And thanks for the thoughts, that was my old company. I was suposed to be with them but volunteered for this task force because we was going to be here sooner. Hard hit regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter carry this would be a HUGE piece lol, you would have to wear a coat and never take it off to hide it efficiently I think that goes for alot of medium/average sized people. I held a 21sf and it was much more comfortable than the 21. But i think the slim framed version has less capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangsn95gt Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Let me know when you get back in town if you want to shoot one before you buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Let me know when you get back in town if you want to shoot one before you buy one The way the unit is making it sound is that were going to buy them while over here then recieve them when we get home. If not then yea, i would love to shoot it first. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Already took R&R in Dec to see the birth of my son. Was only in theater for 1 month lol. Makes for a loooooooong rest of deployment. As for the orders, it sounds like theyre putting them in soon but almost sounds like we dont have to pay for them till we get back (Sept). Theyre not very clear on anything around here.
