Might buy a glock 21 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

cajunautoxer · 01-04-2007, 10:16 AM

okay guys i might have found a good deal on a glock 21. a few questions though. any known problems with the 21's that i should know about. do they have the kaboom problem too? any comments other than the usual glock sucks and xds rock. i'd rather a sc40 to go with my xd but i've been wanting a 45 lately. also how do i tell if it's a 3rd gen.

thanks

1st gen : no finger grooves and no rail
2nd gen : finger grooves and no rail
3rd gen : finger grooves and accessory rail

I had a KB with my Gen 2 G21. I was shooting 165gr CorBon +P. Glad I had that Hogue rubber slip on grip in place. Otherwise, I'd probably be fingerless.

A good deal on a Glock is when they pay you to take it off their hands.

This is just from my experince(sp?)..I bought a Brand new G21 and was so excited!!!! After about 3 days I finally got to shoot it.I was useing WWB 45acp ammo,i didnt even make it thru the whole box.SOOO many ftf's it was ridiculous(again sp?).I thought ok maybe the ammo,so I bought some speer and hornady.....same results.You will hear good and bad,mine was bad.Just my 2cts......

I have had excellent results with my 21. 1st Gen. Going on 4 years of owning it.

My school's gun club owns a 21 (2nd gen I believe). Put thousands of rounds down the pipe every year, only problem we've had recently is that it's been light striking the primers. Don't know if it's an ammo thing or something with the gun itself.

I had a G21 for two years, but sold it in favor of a SW1911PD. But, the G21 was a great gun. It ate every type of ammo I put in it. Never had a malfunction.

I'd say if it's a real good deal get it. Then trade it in on an XD45.

Maybe your hold / grip?? I've never had any Glock FTF....any model, any caliber. It's a good weapon IMO.
