Guns Listing ID: 469974



The **Glock 21 Gen 4** is a full-sized **.45 ACP** semi-automatic pistol that is part of Glock‚‚s fourth-generation lineup. It is known for its powerful round, reliability, and versatility. The Glock 21 Gen 4 is favored by those who prefer a larger caliber for personal defense, duty use, or even tactical shooting.

### Key Features of the Glock 21 Gen 4:

- **Caliber**: .45 ACP
- **Capacity**: 13+1 rounds (13 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber)
- **Barrel Length**: 4.6 inches (117mm)
- **Overall Length**: 8.19 inches (208mm)
- **Height**: 5.51 inches (140mm)
- **Width**: 1.28 inches (32.5mm)
- **Weight**: 27.6 oz (783g) unloaded
- **Trigger Pull**: 5.5 lbs (standard Glock trigger)
- **Sights**: Fixed, white-dot front and white-outline rear (Glock‚‚s standard sights)

### Notable Features:

1. **Gen 4 Enhancements**:
- **Dual Recoil Spring Assembly**: The Gen 4 Glock 21 comes with a dual recoil spring assembly, which helps reduce recoil and muzzle rise, improving control, especially during rapid firing.
- **Interchangeable Backstraps**: The Glock 21 Gen 4 features a customizable grip with interchangeable backstraps, allowing users to adjust the size of the grip to fit their hand better.
- **Enhanced Textured Grip**: The grip has a more aggressive texture compared to earlier generations, which improves handling and control, particularly in adverse conditions (e.g., wet or sweaty hands).
- **Reversible Magazine Catch**: The magazine catch is reversible, making the Glock 21 Gen 4 ambidextrous-friendly for left-handed shooters.
- **Magazine Well**: The grip has a slightly flared magazine well, which aids in faster reloads.

2. **Durability and Reliability**: Like other Glock pistols, the Glock 21 Gen 4 is renowned for its reliability and ruggedness. The polymer frame is tough yet lightweight, and the firearm is built to withstand harsh conditions.

3. **.45 ACP Caliber**: The Glock 21 Gen 4 is chambered in .45 ACP, which is known for its stopping power. Though the recoil can be more substantial than lighter calibers like 9mm, the larger round provides excellent terminal ballistics for self-defense and law enforcement use.

4. **Accessory Rail**: The Glock 21 Gen 4 includes a Picatinny rail (referred to as the Glock Rail), allowing users to attach lights, lasers, or other accessories to the pistol for tactical or home defense purposes.

5. **Safe Action System**: Like all Glocks, the Gen 4 includes Glock’s \"Safe Action\" system—a combination of three internal safety mechanisms (trigger safety, firing pin safety, and drop safety) that provide a high level of security without the need for an external safety.

### Ideal Use:

- **Personal Defense**: The Glock 21 Gen 4 is a popular choice for **home defense** and **concealed carry** (though it’s large for the latter). The .45 ACP round offers significant stopping power, making it a great choice for those prioritizing personal protection.

- **Law Enforcement and Military**: While the Glock 21 Gen 4 is not as common in law enforcement as the 9mm versions, it is still used in certain agencies that require a powerful .45 ACP handgun for duty use. Its large capacity, ruggedness, and accuracy make it well-suited for tactical operations.

- **Competitive Shooting**: Some competitive shooters who favor a larger caliber pistol opt for the Glock 21 Gen 4, though the **Glock 34** or other models may be more common in shooting sports.

### Advantages:

- **Capacity**: At 13+1 rounds, the Glock 21 Gen 4 offers a relatively high capacity for a .45 ACP pistol, especially compared to some other .45 ACP guns that typically hold fewer rounds.

- **Low Maintenance**: Like all Glocks, the 21 Gen 4 is known for being easy to clean and maintain, which is great for everyday carry or training.

- **Ergonomics**: The interchangeable backstraps, aggressive grip texture, and overall balanced design make it more comfortable to shoot than many other full-sized pistols.

### Limitations:

- **Recoil**: Due to the larger .45 ACP caliber, recoil can be more significant, which may make it harder for some shooters to maintain rapid follow-up shots. However, the dual recoil spring assembly helps mitigate this to some extent.

- **Size and Weight**: The Glock 21 Gen 4 is a full-sized handgun, so it may not be ideal for those looking for a compact or concealed-carry weapon. Its size and weight make it more suited for duty or home defense rather than everyday carry.

- **Price and Availability**: While Glocks are generally affordable, the .45 ACP Glock 21 may be more expensive than standard 9mm models like the Glock 17 or Glock 19, and .45 ACP ammo tends to be more costly and less widely available than 9mm ammunition.

### Summary:
The **Glock 21 Gen 4** is an excellent choice for those seeking a **powerful, reliable, and durable** pistol chambered in .45 ACP. It’s especially popular for **home defense**, **duty use**, and **tactical applications**, offering solid magazine capacity, reduced recoil, and excellent ergonomics. While it may be on the larger side for everyday concealed carry, it excels as a full-size defensive pistol. If you’re looking for a reliable, tough handgun that delivers **stopping power** with the convenience of Glock’s renowned simplicity and durability, the Glock 21 Gen 4 is a great option.
