A G21 was a quality tool on the job for many years. I liked it so much that I bought one for personal use. They hold up well and continue to do exactly what you expect them to do - launch 230 grains of lead downrange every time you pull the trigger and do so reliably.
I have a third gen G21. I've had other guns various sizes. The G21 is a keeper. When other guns jammed at the range with all kinds re-loads, my G21 ate everything and never jammed. This is why I keep the G21. Goddamnit I'm gonna propose to my G21.
Just so you know, that’s a gen 3. Gen 2.5 has finger groves, thumb rests, and 3 pins, no rail. Gen 3 was introduced in 1998 and came with the rail along with all listed features above. Yours is without question a gen 3.
I got a le trade in gen 4 21. It came with factory night sights. I did replace them with ameriglow night sights and just put a wilson barrel in it. Its surprising how much it increased the accuracy but other than that,its stock. It goes everywhere with me. I really love it
I'm years late but I have the G21 Gen 4 and it is my EDC. I carry 230 gr hard ball for self defense and 185 gr solid core for hikes. We have a lot of black bear and gators. Wild hogs and cougars are here to. I carry mine in the appendix position with an awesome Alien wear holster.The gen 4 gives you 3 beaver tails I use the second largest and the grip is perfect. If you remove all the beaver tails the grip is exactly the same as the G30s a lot of people don't know that.
I have the extended beavertail on my glock 20 gen 4 and that beavertail allows you to choke way up and I feel in my grip that when I squeeze down the beavertail helps mitigate some muzzle flip, just allows my hand the extra contact and leverage.
Very good for a one gun option. I had a g21 for years I used to take it on all my deer and elk hunts in northern Idaho. I put a hell of a lot of rounds through it and it got rained on snowed on and every other kind of dirt and crap you can think of. It always worked.
I have a G21 that was a range gun for the Blackwater training Academi here in NC. No telling how many rounds have been through it, it’s well broken in and definitely the smoothest Glock I own. Favorite pistol hands down. Sold my USP 45 because it can’t compare
The Glock 21 was the 1st handgun I ever bought. Great pistol but I am now a 9mm Glock guy *only* due to the cost factor of 45 ACP vs 9mm. Good video Alyeska Bushcraft.
I have had gen 3 g21 pistols and they never really fit well enough. Just happened I saw a gen 4 21 and handled it. It was so much better. There was no hesitation whatsoever buying it. It's a le trade in. Lots of carry but it looks to not have been fired a whole lot. came with 3 mags and night sights. I have always loved the 45 and glock. It's now replaced my gen 4 and 5 17s as my edc gun. Your video was well put together and informative. Thank you. Keep up the good work and stay safe
The G21 has been my EDC during these winter months. Getting into Spring & Summer I will probably be carrying my Springfield Armory XD-9mm subcompact & my S&W M&P Shield.45
Say Heah Mathew, Infact I posted my Fav's. I Converted my Para Ordnance Expert S. S. because it was listed as a probable gun to Convert into a .460 Rowland Round. Its as powerful as a .44 Magnum but with more firepower. It has more of a push then barrel jump so my second shot is on target much faster. It's not a target pistol because of it's power and stress on the weapon. But it's definitely a great defence weapon even on Black Bear. I like a more compact weapon since I don't hunt Black Bear and I try avoiding shooting them. Although it does make me more confident carrying it though.,,.p
I rotate this and my g19. Glock 19 for most days ,but when I'm fishing or in the woods, I always carry the 21 since the 45 maybe better than a 9mm if I run into a bear
Glock owner since 1990 and have no issue with their trigger, when shooting I'm focusing on the target. Glock could however spend a minute or two polishing some of the parts but would rather try and sell you a new one instead for around $100, which I have no interest in.
Life In The Taiga very cool , thank you. You should make a vid on it. I subbed to your channel. You make good videos, some people try but can’t make good ones. Some people are naturals. You have a nice calm, Zen like, very cool.

Wouldn't really trust a .45 for bear defense. Even hardball is likely to get defeated by rib. Lots of data shows 9mm will actually do better against black bear. But .40 is king against black bear and grizzlies. G23 is the MVP daily carry/woods gun.
Full of shit. 40 cal is not stronger than 45 acp, and not even gonna compare it to 9mm. Had them all and 45 acp is where's it's at. Hard pill to swallow
@@Dolnews Never said .45 is better than 10mm. I said .40 is better than .45 .40 is a modern cartridge, with an optimized ballistic coefficient. The .45 is a century-cold cartridge that can't squeeze enough powder into its case to propel that slug. If the .45 casing were the same length as a 10mm, this would be a different conversation. Unfortunately, you are still ignorant, and you should apologize to me.
I honestly can't imagine a worse conceal carry pistol than a Glock 21. For me of course. I'm just under 6ft tall. Also, I live in Texas and I only wear one layer of light clothing most of the year. Impossible to conceal. It is impossible to draw quickly too. Even if you are a bigger person I don't recommend carrying a pistol that has a barrel length greater than 4". That is too much distance you have to pull upward in order to clear the holster to draw the weapon and get it into battery. Fast and easy draw is what will save your hide. "Superior" caliber, higher capacity and marksmanship are very VERY rarely a deciding factor. Go watch a hundred or so shootings over at ASP (Active Self Protection) youtube channel. Your "target" is almost always inside of 7 yards. Getting your weapon in battery and getting a shot off in under one second is mandatory. Honestly, good holster selection and practicing fast draw in front of a mirror is hundreds of times more valuable then hours and hours and thousands of rounds spent working on your group size at the range. Keep your Glock 21 on your nightstand. I think you should look for something shorter for out on the streets.
@@AlaskanFrontier1 you said you carry it almost every day and that its the only gun you have. you also said you will not review any other guns, because you don't have any other...

I own & carry the G21 Gen 4 as my EDC. Yes I like the 9mm as well. Both calibers are great for personal defense. That I think we both can agree on!!
G21, great choice.
Thank you!
A truly great carry pistol. It's the ak47 of the pistol world.
Great review but I couldn't help but laugh you sound like Kevin McAllister in home alone 2 when he used the Talkboy to get a room at Plaza hotel

The glock 21 sf feels like a 21 gen 4 to me...grip about the same.
I've heard that as well. Ive heard the gen 4 recoil spring was a bit of a help. But probably just a small amount
What did you like more about the 21 gen 4 compared to the gen 3
Beautiful. Love seeing an old tool coming to life and shooting nice & straight in these capable hands.
Thank you
Seems like Glock 20 is calling you when you see the opportunity
Great video. Love the voice and keep making videos. It's been a year. So, what holster would you recommend after all this time of carrying?
Man, I still use the same old Serpa holster 98% of the time.
I can't imagine carrying it everyday, especially in the summer. It is huge.
I don't have an issue, but hey your milage may vary
My G21 is my everyday carry. You get used to the size and weight. For me its pefect and fits my hand like a glove.

Nice video man. Would you use the 21 for home defense? Or Conceal Carry as well ?
No CCW, but Home Defense and Bear Defense
Really good video!!! Great action footage!
The glock is a great handgun ~Ashley
A dirty scratched up Glock just does it for me. More than a clean pristine condition one. Such a good tool.
I love seeing a gun that looks worn in. The distressed look like it's been through war and the apocalypse is everything.
Great review! I’m a big fan of the G21
Thank you!
I'm watching this in 2022. Are you still using/carrying this? Any changes in your thoughts?
How easy is it to conceal? Semi-comfortable?
Semi-easy
Depends on your size and what you wear. As a slim dude this is not concelalable unless I dress uncharacteristically baggy.
It disapears under a sport jacket which I were whenever its time to rotate my edc. Weight? no problem. Comfortable
Great Video! Thanks !
Great vid I carry my sig p320 45 acp full size most the time I carry my 9mm once in awhile but 98% of the time it's my 45
