The only Glocks that I would never buy are the 44 and 36. Glock never could get those things as reliable as the rest of their guns.

Well, I'd buy a Glock 44....it's strictly a range gun and never to be relied on for anything else. Most of the failures are going to be ammo related anyway so don't blame that on the gun. I have a Glock 44 and have had very, very few failures in over 10,000 rounds using various cheap bul ammo brands. Biggest problem I have is with Federal Automatch and mostly when it is cold weather.

I've never had, owned or even shot a Glock 36 but I bet it is probably just as reliable as any other Glock 45 caliber pistol.

"probably" is the key word. i am a big Glock fan and owner but I am mature enough to admit that Glock has flaws. Just like the Toyota Tacoma is more reliable than any other pick-up truck. It really is more reliable than any other pick-up truck , but it has a few flaws and I understand it and admit it.

Never knew the 36 had a problem* track record. Makes me feel good mine has been issue free.

Never knew the 36 had a problem end track record. Makes me feel good mine has been issue free.

They are "hit and miss" , unfortunately not as reliable as the "hit and miss" engines , LOL .

Don't disagree with you but my point is that the random Glock 21 has a statistically same failure probability as any other Glock.

 

[NEPrepper]

incredibly reliable. shot thousands through my gen4 no issues

 

[winn0040]

The only time my G21 has ever given me a lick of trouble was when I tried to convert it 10mm. Otherwise it has been a lousy 100% reliable.

My Glock 21 will feed 200 grain Speer flying ashtrays, and 185 and 200 grain lead semi wadcutters. If a gun would feen any of those, it'll feed anything.

 

[Valmet]

I’ve put roughly 15k rounds thru my 2003-vintage G21 from factory stuff to handloads of all kinds and it’s been flawless.

 

[cityborncountrylivin]

?Reliability of Glock 21?

This is a joke question?

 

[tomklra14]

I bought a used G21 and had issues with it because of aftermarket parts. After I replaced those parts with OEM parts, I never had an issue. I have had no issues with my stock G41 either.

The .45 pistol cartridge is ideal for cycling through self-loading weapons. "Making a bigger hole" isn't the only advantage of it.
.....and the GLOCK pistol? GLOCK pistol + .45 ACP= even more perfection!

 

[jf44]

My G21 is nothing but but fun. 100% reliable with any kind of ammo and more than 30K rounds with it, I did an overhaul at 20K rounds and still going strong! One the most accurate pistols imho!

 

[21Dad]

They're solid

 

[Fan45acp]

I’ve got 2- G21.5, G 21.4, G 41.4, and G30.3.
The only problem l’ve had was shooting 200 grain swc through the G 30.3s. The Glock 45acp’s are my favorite pistols. They are all very accurate.
l can hardly wait for a G41.5..

 

[grecco]

Owned several G21's all were solid,only issue was the grip was a little large.

 

[ProjectCamaro]

I was the armorer and firearm instructor at my old department and we had Gen 3 21's before we transitioned to 17's. All of our 21's were extremely reliable and I would absolutely trust my life to a 21 any day.

 

[D20]

It would take alot more than 50K to confirm the difference. I have a 2pin G17 that has over 330K.

Do you reload all of your own ammo?

 

[scooter1021]

No problems with my 21.or my 30sf.both are accurate and have not any failures with either.

 

[Buckeye63]

I honestly believe the Glock 21 & Glock 17 is why Glock is Glock .. in the high capacity lower recoiling pistol world…younger shooters do not give the 45ACP credit it deserves…
