I have a G21SF and I have run at least 4500 rounds through it with no problems. It has the ambi magazine release with the standard glock rail and the Glock night sights. I bought my son a G30SF and he has put quite a few rounds through it with no problems. Both have been very accurate out of the box. Gotta love em!

This very recent thread has more feedback specific to the G30SF 45ACP pistol.

Have the 30sf issues been sorted out? About to buy one.

From most reports, any issues have been addressed long ago. The two G30SF pistols in our family have been trouble-free and the accuracy can only be described as superb.

Why are you calling them "M" 21 and "M" 30? It is "G".
From GlockFAQ.com:
What's the difference between Gxx and Mxx designations?

There is no difference. Glock models are usually referred to as Gxx, which means "Glock xx" (i.e. G17 for Glock 17). However, they are sometimes called Mxx, which means "Model xx" (i.e. M17 for Model 17).
Occasionally, one sees the Mxx designation used. I've seen it used at times in product descriptions on the Pearce Grip web site, for example.

Jeez Diamond, leave the poor guy alone. Many folks refer to Glocks with the "M". It stands for Model and is second nature for military trained personnel.

Even on the Glock website they are designated "G". Not trying to be harsh, just correcting. "M" is used to designate military arms, which Glock is not, so it's seems strange. If we were talking Beretta and M9 was used it would seem normal.

Only problems with the G21 SF is the model with the Picatinny rail and Ambi mag release. The mag release has given some people problems, including me. Glock has replaced my frame with the standard glock rail and single side mag release model. They also stopped making the picatinny rail version.

Yes, the ambi mag release is breaking a lot. I am also about to buy a 21 sf, and i will get the standard mag release. Glocks solution has been for people to send in their ambi mag frame and send them back a standard release frame.
