G21SF for CCW?

Anyone carry a G21sf concealed? What rigs are used? I love this gun (no malfunctions & great scores at GSSF) but it just feels like a boulder when in OWB Sidearmor kydex.

I have a standard G21 3rd Gen. I just did a post on it yesterday reagarding the grip mods.

I absolutely love the G21. It is soft shooting, lightweight and accurate. I carried it for two and a half years as a duty gun and would (and may still) go back to it in a heartbeat.

The drawback of the G21 as i see it is its size. It is basically shaped like a giant block and is a pain in the butt to conceal. When I do conceal mine I use a Tauris High-Ride OWB holster and carry it at the 3 o’clock position. It is an extremely high quality and comfortable holster and conceals with no problem under a North Face fleece, flannel or hooded sweatshirt.

I tried an IWB rig (my preferred method of carry) and it didn’t work for me. The G21 is only a tad thicker than a 17/22, but that little bit of thickness makes a huge difference. I’m sure there is someone out there that can pull it off, but I’m 6’3" 215 and I can’t.

I carry mine all the time. Good for summer and humid environments.

Rigs I use and would continue to reccomend are:

BladeTech IWB FBI forward cant

Raven Concealment Systems IWB

NO issues w/ “printing”

I carry a GLock 21SF or a Glock 20SF concealed off-duty. I either use a Mitch ROsen ARG, Kramer outside the pants belt scabbard, or my own home made kydex pancake rig.

No problems printing so far.

Ping dave5339 on this board. He can give you first-hand data.

I was not bothered by carrying my 21SF. Believe it or not what bothered me was carrying the spare mag. I always carry my spare mag in my left front pocket, and the 21SF mag was just large enough to cause discomfort while I was at work all day. I can carry a 226/M9/etc mag without any problems.

I frequently carry my G21 in a Blade-Tech IWB or in the Glock Sport/Combat OWB beltslide holster; I’m 5’8" 195 lbs and have had no problems with concealment.

3, 4 or 5 oclock position?

About 4 o’clock usually.

Best, Jon

I’ve carried my G21, not the SF, in a Galco IWB, and never had a problem with its size considering I am 6’5" and 220lbs. I’ve also carried my M9 in this fashion, IWB, without a problem.

Your mileage may vary

I carry my 21SF in a comptac ctac holster (iwb holster) works well.

I’ll answer for my better half since Dave5339 has apparently missed seeing this thread…

He carries a G21SF in a CompTac MTAC very comfortably. He prefers the standard clips as they are easier to seat on the belt. The C clips are a bit of a PITA. As for a spare mag, that tends to ride in a pocket, or a planner, or sometimes in a larger cellphone case on his belt.

I carry mine frequently IWB using a Comp-Tac MTAC holster. Prints no more or less than my Glock 19 or my M&P 40.

Here is a 21SF that I customized for easier concealment. Like a G30SF long slide. :slight_smile:

Raven Concealment holster is the one to get.

I carry a G19 and think it is the perfect ccw gun.
