How Did I Do?
Average.

Sounds like my life story. Fitting comment.

By far my favorite .45. Don't let the haters get you down.

I understand why they would have a problem with me posting it.
Unless it's a rare gun, or classic American one it's not "look what I bought" worthy.

I used to really hate Glocks. Now it's nothing but Glock and Sig for me for the time being. I saw a pro running some drills with a stock Glock one day and it really opened my eyes to the capability of the gun. Before that I thought it was just a cheap plastic gun. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Hickok45 as well.
I find the G21 (standard frame size) with it's 2x4 grip really comfortable to shoot. It puts my finger in the sweet spot on the trigger for fast and accurate shooting. Love the 13+1 capacity. Magazines and parts are easy to find. Glocks are very easy to work on should you decide to do a little gunsmithing at home. Those factors put the G21 on the "must have list" for me. I know the grip size is a turn off for some people but thin grips have never worked very well for my grip style.
Show us what you can do with it when you get a chance to shoot it!

The model i got was an SF. I found that the grip fit me slightly better than the regular 21. I plan on getting a talon grip, 13+1 mags(mine came with 2x10rnd mags), a holster and some mag holders for a belt. I don't really know where to start holster or belt wise. I would like to get a belt that I can put AR mags onto as well if that's possible.
One thing that jumped out was the trigger. I really like the trigger so far. I've only put maybe 10 rounds through it, but compared to some other pistols I was able to shoot I like it.

MTAC This holster will hold every full size, compact, and some subcompacts because of how it adjusts. I've run G17, 23, 30, and 21s out of just one MTAC. I wear mine 16 hours a day and the screws can get a little loose. Some Loctite will fix that right up. It's a little bulky but that helps distribute the weight. Make sure you get the right belt loops for it should you go for it. IWB anyway.

It's too clean. Get out there and shoot it.

Looks like a glock to me. Have fun shooting it.

Made the jump to handguns. Decided I wanted something bigger than a 9mm after shooting a 1911. I got it Saturday and decided today that I wanted to accent the engraving. Came out better than I thought!
What do you guys think?

I would say you did the very definition of average.

.45, great choice.

Nice gun. Have fun paying for ammo though. Should of gotten the 9mm in my eyes.

I normally shoot an AR and I reload subs. I should be able to reload for less than I pay for factory 5.56.

Yeah.. But i would have gone with a glock 22 and a 9mm conversion barrel / spring.

Can I still get a .22lr conversion for the 21? If so I would be interested in that.

Great gun, but 99.9% of the people on here know what a Glock looks like, so this isn't worth a standalone post. Try the weekly Friday Buyday thread instead.
