    Glock 21 (.45 caliber semi-auto for those who aren't sure what the caliber for the 21 is) is the workhorse of the uniformed officer or deputy sheriff. It's my duty weapon issued to acouple thousand sworn personnel in my agency. I like its simplicity and ease of operation. It'll fire round after round without a malfunction as long as the shooter dones't limp wrist it or otherwise cause a human error initiated malfunction.

    This is a great duty gun. Made strictly for battle ready use. There are no external buttons that snag. When you need the gun it shoots, and is easy to maintain. Great weapon.

    i have had a glock since 1992 and have never had a malfunction. i do not like a safety on a duty weapon. i did not like the stock sights(night sites are best). it is a true duty weapon.

    I have carried other duty weapons in the past. However the Glock 21 is a good duty weapon of choice.

    The weapon fits my hand and works with my grip. I have very large hands and the glock 21 works. Very user friendly easy to field strip for cleaning. Works very well in wet environments.

    I have been an officer for 13 years now and have carried Glocks for most of that time. I currently carry the G21SF as it replaced my G23. I started my career carring a 45, but the G21 was always a hair to big for my hands. The new G21SF is a great duty weapon. I have over 5000 rounds thorough it now and not a single malfunction. The 45 ACP is making a comeback in LE, and I believe this a great piece to take a look at if your considering the switch to 45.

    While shooting this weapon I had a catastrophic failure (kaboom). The weapon was sheared into two pieces and I had brass and plastic embedded in my face.
    My agency had another kaboom three days later with the Glock 21. This officer was injured, and cant work because of the pain.
    It should be noted that my weapon was cleaned with authorized materials the night before going to the range. I was shooting factory practice ammo.
    Officers in my agency no longer carry the .45 Glocks, sadly we are forced to carry the 9mm.
    I shudder to think what would have happened if I was on the street and my weapon exploded in my face.
    I would carry the .45 again if Glock was able to fix the problem.

    In the SF version this is probably the most innovative handgun to hit the market this year. I've shot a couple of the SF's. Typical Glock 45 accuracy, very good.

    The Glock 21 is an excellent combat firearm. I was an avid Sig Sauer fan until I took the Glock out for a "test ride". I was in a firefight with a Sig 226 (9mm) but now carry the Glock 21 (.45 caliber) as my duty weapon. I carry the Glock 30 as a back-up and off-duty. Hitting center mass is fun and the Glocks are easy to disassemble and clean.

    I carried one of these several years ago and it was one of the best .45 pistols I have ever shot. It fit my hand well, was back on target quickly and felt minimal recoil. With 3 mags I had 40 rounds ready to go and with that much .45 if you ran out of ammo, you were not supposed to still be there.

    My only complaint about this weapon is that, being female, I find that the grips are too wide for my hand. This is a department issue gun and so I have no choice in what to carry. I am not comfortable with it due to this fact.

    The Glock 21 is a reliable hand gun, but the grip is a little thick and unconfortable for those with small hand. I like the feel of the New Glock 21SF with the thinner grips. My only other complaint is recoil that is caused by light plastic guns.

    I carried the Mod 21 for about 5 years on duty. I was carrying a Smith 5609 till one day I went to the range to qualify and could not hit the side of a barn which was very unusual for me. Went the next day to the eye doctor and got glasses thinking that was the problem but the next time on the range, I had the same thing happen. A friend was on the range that day and offered to let me shoot his Mod 21 and I put three rounds in a hole the size of a dime from 30 yards and went the next day and ordered myself a Glock Mod 21. The Lt. over the range said that the sights on my 5906 were out of whack and had to be sent back to Smith & Wesson to be corrected.
    I never had any problems qualifying after getting my Glock.

    The Glock 21 is an awesome weapon. I have carried it for approximately five years. It is an easy weapon to clean and maintain. When I chose a firearm to use on duty it MUST be a weapon I trust. My Glock 21 is a dependable firearm that has never misfired or jammed. I would recommend Glock to anyone.

    This is the standard issue handgun for my department. Large frame for smaller shooter, the new S.F. should take care of the size. I have over 20,000 rounds through mine and it is working as well as ever. I recommend this handgun to anyone working in "Hostile" environments. Though I am still a 1911 fan, this handgun is my first choice when it comes to a working handgun.

    A Glock is a Glock is a Glock ..... though a good duty gun I'm not much of a fan. Due to it's larger frame I find it very uncomfortable to shoot despite being able to qualify with it every year. I love the .45cal but in my opinion nothing can beat the combat record of a good Model 1911. Damn I love those guns.

If your a bigger guy and you shoot this guy, you will love the feeling compared to some tiny gripped 9mm or .40. This the big man sized gun. Maybe be too large for some people with smaller hands, I have heard some of the smaller guys in the department complain about how big the gun is.

However, after 3,500+ rounds and NO Failures except those induced by instructors I have nothing but good to say. This is the only pistol I will own and trust. Everytime I have pulled the trigger it has gone BANG! Nothing more to say!

    A lot bigger than my 17, but it gets the job done. Kind of big for females, it takes some getting used to. When there is a round in the chamer and your loading a full magazine you really have to jam it in there to seat. I like the load indicator to let you know if there is a round in the chamber, no more press checks.

    My only complaint is the grip size is too large. It shoot it fine and it was reliable, until I tried to shoot with gloves on. Between the size fo the grip and the length of the pull I have a hard time when I added a glove to the reciepe. I think the 21SF will be a better choice for most people.

    The Glock 21 far surpasses any other weapon I own, in terms of reliability, ruggedness, ease of use, low maintenance and expense. I have long considered most 1911 style pistols to be superior in terms of accuracy, where as the Glock 21 is the work horse of the .45 caliber weapons. Most 1911's require a fair amount of maintenance and the Glock can be used, abused time and again.
