#LIMP WRIST GUN JAM FULL#

Here’s a pic (above) of my best full magazine: 13 rounds in 13 seconds standing at 25 yards. The combination makes it too easy to move the gun in fast fire. The challenge: odd grip angle and more of a less-than-ideal trigger pull, combined with a fairly light weight front end. I do my daily dry-fire with a G19 and I put at about 350 rounds a week at the range through some GLOCK. But I’ve been shooting GLOCKs heavily for a little over a year now. Yes, when I draw and present the gun, that was a big change I had to get used to. I ended up with a lot of rounds just outside the target circle. I really struggled to stop this gun and keep it stopped when it came time to pull the trigger. It’s because I shoot too fast to remain accurate. That poor score isn’t because I shoot too slow with the G21SF. I score in the mid 20s with my stock Colt Government 1911. I can score 10 full seconds faster with my Beretta 92FS, sometimes even better. I ran the Bill Wilson 5X5 test over and over with this gun, never scoring anything better than Sharpshooter. The mediocre accuracy in controlled, braced slow fire partially explains my lack of accuracy in fast fire. Is that ok? Sure, but it’s nothing to brag about. The winner in the accuracy department: Remington Ultimate Defense 230gr JHP round, delivering 2 3/4″ groups. Shooting the classic Winchester white box 230gr FMJ, I generated the exact same results. The G21SF let me down in the accuracy department.įiring Hornady’s Critical Defense 185gr FTX round off bags at 25 yards, I scored a fairly consistent 3″ average five-round group.

Keeping the muzzle down in fast fire for controlled pairs or the Mozambique Drill wasn’t a problem. The slide goes back and forth on the rails with minimal muzzle flip. The recoil impulse is fairly mild and easily controllable. 45, the G21 doesn’t have a problem with recoil. But it’s a great place for dirt, snow and mud to find its way into the recoil spring and the action.įor a fairly lightweight. As far as function, that doesn’t concern me much. There’s also a good amount of space between the slide and the frame. This brand new gun rattles a bit, though not as bad as an old Colt 1911 or a new Ruger SR1911. Running completely stock, the G21SF performed flawlessly, fed a wide variety of ammunition brands, types and weights. I have at least twice that through the gun now. I put 500 rounds through the GLOCK 21SF for this review. The magazine never failed to seat and it never failed to drop. Those same two magazines had trouble in another gun, but the one magazine supplied with the pistol had no issues at all.Īfter the first few magazines, I had no issues to load, fire, or eject. But only with two new GLOCK-brand GLOCK magazines, and only for the first few strings of fire. I had a little trouble with this gun’s reliability. If I was holding the gun in a remotely safe manner, it cycled just fine. I did the same drill on my back, which almost always causes my G19s to short cycle. Holding the gun in my right hand fairly loosely and firing it across my body sideways, the gun cycled every time. Unlike my G19s, I couldn’t “limp-wrist” the G21SF to jam. Note: be careful not to ride the slide forward or you will likely cause a malfunction.

For the G21SF, releasing the slide by pulling back on the slide and letting it go is the only practical solution. It’s difficult to use even when not under stress. Only not with this gun.ĭuring reloads, I missed the G21s minimal slide lock/release over and over again. Then, after a class with Bill WIlson, I’ve trained myself into using the slide lock as a release. I was trained for a long, long time to never use the slide lock as a slide release. The stock G21SF pull registers right at the advertised 5 1/2lbs, with a lot of stack and a good amount of squish near the break. Luckily, I’m not serving and protecting in New York City, where The Boys In Blue must attempt to cope with a 12-lbs. The GLOCK 21SF’s trigger is even more notorious. If precision or low-light shooting is the order of the day, consider one of the many replacements available on the market. If your goal is a body mass mag dump at 15 yards, the G21SF’s U-shaped sights work just fine. They’re also straight up plastic, highly vulnerable to marring and deforming. They’re small and work best in bright light - when you have a minute to find them. Prior to the Gen 5, stock GLOCK sights were ripe for replacement. Every women (and one man of smaller stature) complained that the G21SF’s grip felt too big in their hands, with a resulting loss of. I asked a few different people to shoot the G21S. Mind you, the G21SF doesn’t seem to work for people with smaller hands. Either single-handed or two-handed, this GLOCK 21SF is right at home in my size large hands. I don’t need to get rid of finger grooves. In fact, I have no desire to change the pistol’s grip in any way. I know people complain about the GLOCK “bar of soap” feel.
