[@bryansimmons4550]

The original G30SF is the perfect .45 ACP for concealed carry. With a G21 magazine as a spare, you're good to go. My 1911's are still in my collection, and they are still iconic, but they are relegated to range shooting now. I have carried 1911's cocked and locked, a S&W 645 (which as the best DA trigger pull of any semiauto), and a bunch of other guns, but the Glock is revolver simple, which puts it at #1. I have happily carried a Colt Agent .38 Special as well. In my 26 years as a LEO, and my 50+ years of shooting in general, I have never had to fire a single shot of any caliber at another person.

[@ezekielmajor5511]

I agree on the Glock 21 for sure. I fired my friend's G21 and it didn't have any more recoil than my G43x MOS. Thinking about getting one for home defense.

[@G29gen4]

What about the G 41 ???

[@wjjohns04able]

If Glock would give us a real update to the 21, they would have a world beater. No reason the slide has to be so thick this day in age. They could slim down the grip a few mm’s while they’re at it.

[@stephenkidder8876]

They have released the gen 5 G21

[@wjjohns04able]

@@stephenkidder8876 Yes they have but it’s not really that different than the gen 4. Maybe some internal changes but the overall dimensions are still the same. Primarily the overly bulky slide is still a big deterrent for a lot of buyers that would carry concealed. I know it’s not a huge difference but the slide thickness on the 41 is noticeably slimmer and feels better iwb with the right holster. IMHO, I would like to see a 30 type pistol with slightly longer grip so you don’t get pinched during reloads, or a slimmed down 21 that’s easier to carry concealed. Just my .02 :)

[@joshuahawkins2743]

Thick big looking pistol is fitting but if you have small hands I can see why you would say that not talking down on you for sure but I love the full size g21 not exactly a EDC but it's a hell of a pistol to keep next to you on the night stand

[@wjjohns04able]

@@joshuahawkins2743 well, I don’t have small hands 🤣 I want a 13 round Glock 21 that isn’t as thick as a brick for ccw. Not looking for a duty gun or a night stand gun. Glock makes a 41 with a thin slide, so they can do it for the 21.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

The 41 had a few revised R&D spots. The gun fits 13rd standard Glock 21 style magazines. Glock could pull a S&W trick & put out a "single" stack type 4" comp(ported) ccw model in 10mm, .45 like Big Blue did with a few PC Shield pistols. Port barrel, add fiber optic sights, 7+1 design.

wrong pictures and old information. There is no more SF models because the Gen 4 added backstraps.

[@Mike-up6go]

Agreed. Wrong information too. He said the "SF" means small frame. Wrong......its "short" frame. Also said the S in the 30S stands for "subcompact" . Wrong....its "slim" , as in slim slide. He did not say on the Gen 3 Glock 21 models you could get a SF model or a standard non SF model with longer reach. All Gen 4 models of the 30 and 21 have the shorter reach but dont say SF on the side. All model 30S pistols are Gen 3 only. Mine has a SF stamp on it just forward of the take down pin on the right side, unlike most that have them above the grip.........I think I am correct in what I stated........Yes , all of this is somewhat confusing if you arent knowledgeable about the differences.

I, for one, cursed the day the USMC got rid of the 1911 for the beretta 9mm pistol! I didn’t like it then, and still don’t like it! I like the stopping power of the .45 ACP. Period! If you’re looking for a well built, dependable and accurate pistol, look no further than the Glock 21!
