[acaligunner]

I have " old " style Glock 21 magazines - does the Glock 21 sf model work with the magazines that i have ?

I've heard different opinions ~ so im asking Cg'ers - thank you

I can't vouch for this but if it was wrong, odds are that m4c members would've chewed it up

Glock magazine generation compatibility is dependent on the type of magazine release on the Glock.

Glocks with the standard magazine release can use all (1st-5th gen) generations of Glock magazines.

Glocks with the ambi-magazine release can only use the latest (3rd-4th gen) generations of Glock magazines.

Glocks with the reversable magazine release set up on the standard (right) side can use all (1st-5th gen) generations of Glock magazines.

Glocks with the reversable magazine release set up on the non-standard (left) side can only use the newest (4th-5th gen) generation of Glock magazines.

Glock magazine generations...
Technically, there are ten generations of Glock magazines.
They are often simplified down to five generations.

The simplified version...
1st gen = NFML
2nd gen = FML
3rd gen = FML with ambi-mag cut
4th gen = FML with ambi-mag cut & reversable mag cut
5th gen = FML with reversable mag cut


That said... there have been four variants of the Glock 21SF.
1. Glock 21SF with picatinny rail and ambi-mag release. (discontinued)
2. Glock 21SF with glock rail and ambi-mag release. (discontinued)
3. Gock 21SF with glock rail and standard mag release. (in production)
4. Glock 21SF RTF2 with glock rail and standard mag release. (special order)

Therefore...
"old style" (1st-2nd gen) Glock magazines will not work in Glock 21SF variants #1 and #2.
"old style" (1st-2nd gen) Glock magazines will work in Glock 21SF variants #3 and #4.

I'll vouch for it, since I posted it.
