Mine should be in next Tues for a complete testing and eval…
Page 2 for report
I’ve bought every .45 that glock has put out. So, yes. Got one reserved. Hope it’s not JUNK.
The first two user reports I’ve seen have been highly complimentary with just a few hundred rounds through each gun. Highlights mentioned were better than expected trigger and soft recoil (for a .45).
When I snatched up my gettin’ place’s last RTF2 G21 SF I half intended to check it out for awhile and flip it for a Gen 4 G21 later - when I expected the Gen 4 version to be much further off in the future. However this RTF2 G21 is so nice, I can’t do that now.
It’ll be fun to watch.
Best thing about this upgrade is I don’t have to replace magazines, holsters, etc.
Is there any way to tell what Gen Glock you have? I inherited my dads G21 which he purchased around ~1997.
Thanks!
I’m going to get either a 21 or 30 for my next gun (unless a killer deal falls into my lap) and I was going to get either in a gen 3 SF. however if I see favorable reports of the gen 4s I may get one instead.
Gargoyle, I’m looking forward to your report on the Gen4 Glock 21. I’m interested in purchasing one.
Where have you seen this? I’ve seen nothing so far.
What ehcarl posted and a new owner on GT with similiar tale.
Sounds good.
So how many of you are actually thinking about upgrading from a previous gen?
While it looks nice, it doesn’t seem like its really worth it to me.
Looking forward to the various grip thickness/inserts and hopefully will be able to end “skateboard tape” jobs with the new grip.
I’m a G20 guy myself, but you know, close enough.
I currently run a Gen 3 G20sf. I won’t be switching it up for a Gen 4 at this time. Why? The gen4 version MAY run. My gen3 DOES run.
Personally I don’t really understand anyone who has a choice in the matter going to the gen4s yet.
I hope and believe that they will run great at some point…but is this that point? Why not wait until we KNOW they run at least as well as the gen3s?
I mean freedom from skateboard tape is great and all…and grip inserts too…but far and away the overriding concern for me is “does the gun run?”
At this point I think the gen4s are way too much of an unknown quantity to look at changing over.
I wont be getting one anytime soon due to being strapped for cash, however I hope for it to be one of my purchases in 2012.
The same risk is run every time you buy a new gun, even a new Gen 3. What really gave me the green light was the talk of the two piece recoil assembly and its shortcomings. Well, my G30SF has a two piece/spring recoil assembly and it has run 100% in the last 3 years. I also read the ititial shortcomings happened with the first runs of Gen 4 9mms. Hopefully the quirks have been worked out. I shall report.
My agency is transitioning to 45’s this fall (from Sig .40’s). The Glock 21 (gen 4 I presume) is one of the finalists in the evaluation process; the other so-called frontrunner is some variation of the SW M&P 45. I’ve never been an SW auto fan and I am truly hoping the Glock gets the nod; I’m hearing rumors that the SW is the choice based on the deal offered by them (buy-back old guns, ammo stocks, providing new leather, etc.) 
Eh I’m pretty tempted. 9mm is fine for me these days but i still have a certain amount of nostalgia for .45’s.
