Glock 21SF

[45R]

I was spying a G21 SF the other day and noticed that the "CA" version has only a left side magazine release. Can these frames be retrofitted to use the ambidextrous mag release?

No.

I have one with the dual mag release. I actually like the single side better.

I was holding mine left handed because I broke my right hand, and the mag latch pokes me right in the hand and it is scratchy as hell. I imagine it would be like that for my right hand with the ambi latch....

I've used the Ambi version and the mag release didn't bother me at all. Guess it depends on how you hold your pistol. I'm used a 1911 style high thumb, both thumbs forward type grip. I don't have particularly fat finger either if that makes a difference.

My G21-SF "ambi release" has a very different frame than my standard G21s. I was closely comparing them side-by-side the other day. I haven't been able to look closely at the G21-SF with standard mag release to see if the frame looks more like the G21 or G21 ambi. I don't have one to compare the other 2 against.

The G21SF ambi uses a totally different frame mold inside the magwell -thus allowing it to be Ambi, from my armchair observations. I'm no Glock expert, but they seemed to have completely different internal mag release designs.
