Re: Glock 21
I just picked one up myself pretty nice piece, won't replace my 1911's but will be a nice truck gun

I think so, not positive though when i do a slow press to the rear my wrist breaks causing the shot to go up, as a result its very similar to a limp wrist i would think. I might do a limp wrist test to see though. It was with one of my reloads but the last 399 of them have been fine.

I still prefer a 1911 as well, got cut short this year on working so can't afford one at the moment or not the one i want anyhow. That was actually the intended purpose of our G21 dad and i split it so he would have a truck gun and i would have something to shoot. Thing is for 600+(tax) you'd figure Glock could slap some decent sights on there like trijicons or meprolights, not a fan of the stock sights.

Thanks man cameras on these phones with the proper lighting are pretty impressive.

Re: Glock 21
I've probably asked this somewhere already and forgot but refresh my memory then. What's "stove pipe" mean?

It's a failure to extract when a spent casing gets stuck in the slide usually vertically, which looks like a stove pipe. In my case it looked like this. Apparently image tags don't work in the photo gallery, makes sense.

Re: Glock 21
I recently picked up the 21 myself, added a TFO night sight. Love the piece. And what BigJoe says, it wont replace my 1911, but shoots just as fine.

Re: Glock 21
I like it. Really got to add some night sights though. For a striker fired 45 the 13rd capacity is the highest out there that i've seen. Though if i went back and held a M&P45 that day the picture above would probably be it. Been dying to get a M&P after i held one a couple of months ago.
Strange thing is that a 1911 with regular grips feels big to me. I cant reach the mag release with my thumb on my friends desert warrior without altering my grip. Which to some extent i guess that's ok. The glock even while double stack seems to fit better, though i've yet to try a 1911 with VZ Operators II or some slim grips. Our ruger 22/45 has a 1911 grip angle and is very slim though and feels great in my hand. Though i imagine an actual 45 grip's width is bigger.
I did notice one thing shooting that day. I ran a mag of p+ 230gr Speer gold dots from underwood ammo rated at 1000fps, wanted to make sure they fed reliably. Thing was it felt like a 40 on steroids. It felt snappier and had a hell of a muzzle flip compared to my reloads. I've yet to chronograph but i'm running a max load with Win 231 at 5.8gr hell in some books .1gr above max. The books say somewhere around 850fps. The recoil seems almost none existent in my reloads though.

Re: Glock 21
I was reading about 10-8 sights on M&Ps the other day. Going to take a look at them.
