Why is the Glock 21 the best pistol on the market today?

[AbolishTheNFA]

Simply put: The Glock 21.4 is the best semi-automatic pistol chambered in 45 ACP on the market today.

It beats the HK, SIG P220, HK, FN, S&W M&P M2.0, even the 1911. Most, if not all, well known manufacturers have stopped making QUALITY doublestack 1911's in 45 ACP. One can go smaller, or larger with the 1911 (yes, it's taller with a longer slide). It's just right in size for a duty sized weapon. It's light and carries 14 rounds onboard. The Glock 30 is nice--I have two--but it's a smaller concealed carry gun. It's far more reliable than my Nighthawks and Colts, as much as I hate to say it. My HK45c is nice, but I can't work on it, is even more top heavy in terms of balance, and the grip is slick and skinny. I like my P220's too, but they're DA/SA and only hold nine rounds onboard. It beats the Glock 21.5 since it's brand new and has no track record. If anything, customers will debug it over the next two years before I buy a 21 Gen 5.

I carry mine AIWB or strongside. People who say they cannot conceal this gun are the same ones that talk about concealing their 1911 (which is taller and Governments are longer).

If I were a cop, I'd carry this for patrol. If I were in the military, I'd put this gun on my plate carrier.

Long live the Glock 21!

it’s not.

Simply put: I don't think it make a difference when you put one on the bulls eye.

This will not necessarily be a popular opinion: With advances in ammunition technology, there is no good reason to carry anything larger than a 9mm.

It's not, not even close.

I love shooting my G21SF but I also still love my Ruger P90 as well as my 4506 and my various 1911s ranging Government, CC LW to a Colt 1991 OM

Carpenters don't limit themselves to one hammer, Golfers do carry more than one club and Magicians always have more than one trick up their sleeve.

This is correct. But when 9mm +P+ doesn't cut it, you can keep a 9mm bullet and widen the rest of the cartridge. A 9mm 124gr HP at 1450fps is nothing to sneeze at.

I had a 30 and those plastic lined double stack mags in the iwb carrier felt like I was trying to smuggle cans of Pepsi into the theater.

.357 sig is my second favorite.

Now that we’re all in agreement that the Glock 21sf is the best .45 acp, what is everyone’s favorite semi-auto rifle?

Gotta be the AR-15. Can I get a “hell yeah!”?

I would wager good money a stock Glock 21 isn't going to outshoot me with my stock Sig P220 and mine has a 10+1 magazine..

 

[Growler215]

I kinda like the idea of a .45 ACP AR pistol like the radial delayed blowback CMMG Banshee for subsonic suppressed use.

G21 is a great companion for that since they use the same mags.

God Bless the most American handgun ever made

The Assault Rifle 15 lets Freedom ring from sea to shining sea! The only gun control I need is this index finger. If Zelensky would use that 100 billion on Glock 21’s and AR-15’s the war would be over in two more weeks.
F-16’s, drones, and Patriot missile systems do nothing compared to a populace of patriots equipped with 5.56 and .45 calibers of freedom.

.45 acp carbine has a nice ring to it, but I can’t buy a leather shoulder holster to dual wield that.
