It was a known issue but I can't remember the specifics. I'm sure a Google search would turn up more info. Honestly, if you don't have any issues with the gun I'd leave it be.

 

Thank you! That's my feeling! I had a $100.00 horse hide holster made for them and I have had zero issues! ( thus far ) I suppose I could buy another SF and retire the current ones... Not that I think they have some crazy collector value, but I bought them together and like them!

 

I have one and it hasn't been an issue, of course I haven't put that many rounds through it. I do keep the mag release well lubricated so it operates smoothly. I also don't plan on getting the frame replaced because they are getting hard to find.

Thank you! I like them and they've served me well! I suppose I could just buy another W/S FG&R and retire mine...

 

I have one. Even though I'm left handed I never felt the need to change the magazine release. I have about 5k rounds through mine. No problems at all.

 

If it is running great, don't "fix it".......

:thumbsup:

Thank you! Yes zero issues with either of mine!

Yes zero issues so far! Thank you!

 

I had one, and the magazine always fell out after a reload, I could look for the letter i sent Glock at the time to confirm the problems. At first they want to replace just the bottom of the fire arm and then Glock ended up giving me a new gen4 G21 (was when they first came out) I actually had to wait for them to become available. LOVE ! my 21 its a great firearm

 

Great customer service! Wow! I have strange question? On the Gen 4, with the smallest blackstrap installed, is the grip circumference any smaller then the SF model? For a fella 6'3 and 200lbs, I have the hands of a 12 year old girl! The original 21 was way to big in my hands to be comfortable.
Hence, buying the SF model(s)
Thank you!

 

I wish I remember that, I have no back straps and it fits me perfect , I thought the sf ambi fit perfect also , I just had problems with a recharge magazine dipping out

 

I got two of the 21SF ambi, consecutive serial numbers and they have never been fired.
I thought about sending them in to Glock, but I read that they were sending Gen III's to replace these.

 

I've found two replacement stories. One here and one from another source. One, (here) was offered a Gen 4 and the other was sent a standard FG&R SF. I'm still inclined to keep mine intact. If Glock replaces the frame, you are still left with a frankenglock of sorts, all though they do record a frame replacement at the factory. Additionally, since it is technically a new gun, you have to re-dross the "new" gun and the Fed.'s and state get their vig. If you live in free America you are fine once the fee's have been paid, but my state will impound the new frame for ten days.

I don't think the 21SF came out till Gen-3.

 

The SFs are only available in gen 3s because they didn't come up with the idea before gen 3s came out and the base (small) gen 4s are the SF size. A medium insert returns it to the non-SF gen 3 size and a large insert is, well, larger.
As far as the ambi/picatinny version, if my memory serves, that was initial offering of the SF variation and after problems with the mag release and complaints about the picatinny rail not being compatible with existing accessories (especially holsters), Glock gave up on those changes and only kept the SF as a variation. I have one of them and have kept it because it's a rarity. It's not worth a lot extra today, but it will be someday.

 

Please, please do not trade these in. Sell them to someone who wants one and buy the Gen 4 or 3 you want. These are getting hard to find and some of us would like to have one.

I am so sorry for missing your reply!
Thank you!
Still have both!
Thinking about a 41 as a carry gun ( I used to carry a GM 1911 ) and I have a bucket of Gen 4 magazines....
Please forgive my very tardy reply!

I found a related, unrelated article in an old American Rifleman magazine, at the Dr.'s office.
It only said something to the affect, that the ambi/Pic rail pistols were Glock's bid to interest the military in Glock pistols..... It didn't specify model or caliber.
I don't know that the pistols will ever be more the a curiosity in the Glock world.
I have yet to have an issue with either pistol.
At the cost of a new Glock 21, 21SF, 41 I don't think I'll ever send them back.
Also, from time to time full frames come up for sale on auction sites...
I may eventually buy a complete SF frame, for shooting and put the ambi frame(s) away.
Thank you!

I had a local Leo balk when he saw the serials. I am former Le myself. Had to school him a little.
