I bought a Gen 4 Glock 21 yesterday and after cleaning and lubing it, I headed out to the range today and put the gun through its paces. I fired a total of 260 rounds. The breakdown of rounds was as follows:

All 230 gr. bullets-

50 rounds PMC
50 rounds American Eagle
100 rounds of my reloads (plated 230 gr. bullets)
40 rounds of Winchester Ranger-T (standard pressure)
20 rounds of Federal Hydra-Shok

There were no malfunctions of any kind. The vast majority of empty cases ejected about 4 feet to the right of me. I did not have any empties hit me in the head or even come close.

Accuracy was excellent as was controllability. Shooting with one hand was easy. I find my Gen 2 Glock 23 has more felt recoil. My G21 Gen 4 comes with the fired shell casing dated August 31, 2011. I can't say enough good things about this gun. Anyone sitting on the fence about getting one should jump on it!

Have had mine on order with my LE dealer since July. Glock says they are waiting on parts.

Congrats on the G21 Gen 4.

Thanks for the range report. A g21 or g30 is on my short list of guns to buy. It's good to hear of a gen 4 owner with no problems.

I am planning to sell my Para P-14 and get a G21 or G30 if I can get my Gen 4 G19 working correctly.

I love my 1911's but I also love Glocks, so I know a G 21 is in my future !

Amen. Truly is an amazing weapon!

Congrats on the G21 Gen 4 and, thanks for the report.

Mine has been 100% and I cannot believe how much I like this gun. It has been a soft and accurate shooter. I may add some Heinie ledge sights to it.

Its good to hear a positive report on a new pistol. Congrats.

You ain't lying, especially a Gen 4. I'd love to have one of these. OP, have you experienced the recoil of an earlier gen 21 model to compare it with this one? Just curious. Congrats on your gun and enjoy.

I am thinking of G21 Gen 4 as my replacement to my G17 Gen 3 as my nightstand gun when my 9mm collection is complete and have more range time on them. How is recoil compared to Gen 3 and 40mm? Is grip better? I have larger hands. Enjoy!

Green with envy!:supergrin:

You might want to consider joining the Glock 21 club here on GT.

I cant say enough good things about myb 21 Gen 4. Its an amazing gun. I love my Gen 3 21 SF RTF2 but the 21 Gen 4 fits my hand even better. Its accurate as hell too

I have a Gen 3 G21 but I have been considering on buying a Gen 4 21 or 30, is there any difference in performance between the Gen 3 and Gen 4 G21's? Should I just sick with the Gen 3?

Yes, I've fired a Gen 3 Glock 21 and though the difference in felt recoil between the Gen 3 and 4 is not significant, there is a noticeable difference. I always thought the standard Gen 3 Glock 21 grip was too beefy even for my large hands. The Gen 4 grip is just perfect for me -- almost the feel of a Gen 3 Glock 17/22 grip. Glock Inc. should have done this to the G21 years ago. I think they have a winner with this particular Gen 4.

I really like my Gen 4 Glock 21. A soft shooter for sure.

My next gun purchase will be the Gen4, Glock 21. I have not read a single bad review on them.
