    Range Report Glock 21sf

    Just picked up a Glock 21sf, used from a fellow Calgunner and all I can say is wow. It was in very good condition previous owner told me a low round count and from the looks of the rail and breechface I totally believe him. It did come with a captured stainless steel recoil rod, but it had the factory spring rates on it.

    This is my first .45 acp. The .45 acp is a pretty sweet round, I was really expecting more flip and push, but its a really sweet gentle push. Lining up a .45 acp, 10mm auto, .40 S&W and .357 Sig, its pretty hilarious how big and fat that acp looks. I gotta say I'm smitten by this lil fat boy.

    I don't know if its the longer sight radius but on my first outing with it, I was astonished at how good it was making me look. I don't usually post picks of my targets these were at approximately 15 yards after about only 50 rounds. Each pastie shows 2, 10 round mags, slow fired offhand. I only had the time to put about 2 boxes downrange this weekend but the 21 really put a big smile on my face. Been shooting alot of 10mm, .357, and .40 from Glock compact and subcompact frames, so I'm used to the Glock system. I can't wait to put a G20 longslide on this thing.

    The grip is sizeably larger than the G17/22/31/24/34/35 frames even though its a SF model. I'm hoping a Hogue Handall slip-on won't make it too big for me, its a handful to say the least. I noticed that I hand to constantly shift my grip because it wasn't just right between my first and second knuckles on my middle/ring/pinky fingers. I dying have a second go at it this weekend for some double tap, mag evac fun. I'm gonna commandeer a more worthwhile camera to snap some pics for it and post them up later. For now its going on nightstand duty.

      I must say that I am not a Glock guy---at first I was put off by two things---the trigger and the grip angle---I have gotten used to the glock-like trigger on my Walther PPS 9mm---the grip angle is still an issue---one of my shooting buddies has a Glock 21 .45 ACP and I shoot it quite well (often better then he does, much to his amusement) but the grip angle forces me to adjust my hold for every shot. If you start shooting with Glocks, you will find all other pistols have the "wrong" angle---my first pistols were mostly P35s (there wasn't much else around way back when) and thus I prefer this type of pistol---also most revolver grips shoot with more of the P35/1911/HK USP type grip. Good luck with yours.

        Yeah that's too true. It all started with the G17 for me. Its kinda of surprising still that I shoot the G21 better than the 17. I'm having a bit of trouble with my new Beretta too, gotta work it out and get used to the whole DA/SA thing.
