The Glock G21 Gen 4 is a full-size semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 13+1 round capacity. The polymer frame keeps weight to 29.3 oz unloaded while holding up well against corrosion and impact. A 4.6-inch barrel with a 1:15.75 RH twist rate handles a wide range of .45 ACP loads accurately, and the fixed contrast sights (1-dot front, 2-dot rear) make target acquisition fast.
The Gen 4 grip features interchangeable backstraps and aggressive texturing that holds up in sweaty or wet conditions. The double-action-only trigger with integrated Safe Action system fires consistently without an external manual safety to disengage under stress.
The forged steel slide has a durable finish that resists wear. A 13-round magazine puts the G21 ahead of most competitors in the .45 ACP full-size category, where 8- or 10-round magazines are common.
The pistol works well for home defense, range use, and duty carry. Its size makes concealed carry less practical for smaller-framed shooters, but for those comfortable with a full-size gun, the .45 ACP caliber and capacity combination is hard to beat in this price range.
After you shoot the model 20 which is in 10 millimeter this is a cakewalk the recoil is very manageable.
Honestly i love shooting 45 acp because it's more of a shove when you go with nine millimeter it's more of a punch.
It is blocky which is glock's known for and so a lot of guys are just turned off by that so that could be a con for some.
The 13 plus one mag capacity beats out the 1911 but it's a lot thicker it's a bigger gun even though it weighs less it's not as pointable not as easy to shoot as the 1911.
Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.
Owners of the Glock G21 Gen 4 are generally positive, with reliability being the most consistent talking point. It runs dirty, runs clean, and rarely malfunctions. Which is what most buyers are looking for in a defensive pistol.
Ergonomics get mixed feedback. The Gen 4 backstrap system helps shooters dial in the grip, and most find the texture adequate. Shooters with smaller hands sometimes find the grip circumference too thick for a comfortable reach to the trigger, and the gun's size makes it a tough sell for everyday concealed carry. For home defense or range work, the size is a non-issue.
The .45 ACP caliber draws its usual debate. Fans point to stopping power and confidence at short defensive distances. Others prefer 9mm for lower recoil and higher capacity, and some feel .45 ACP recoil in the G21 is more pronounced than in heavier all-metal pistols. Recoil is manageable for most shooters but is worth considering for follow-up shot speed.
The 13-round capacity is a genuine differentiator. Most .45 ACP pistols carry fewer rounds, so the G21 gives up nothing there. Glock's aftermarket is deep: sights, triggers, holsters, and magazines are widely available from a large number of manufacturers. Pricing is generally seen as fair for what you get.
