Anything I should know about the 21sf

[Roy]

Work allows me to carry any 9mm,40,or45 GLOCK pistol
I am currently carrying a 22 with a surefire x300 on it.
I just went and reshot the 21sf today and think I am sold. I can shoot it better than my 22 and recoil is less.

any concerns reference the 21 SF i should be aware of before I go plop down the coin for a new weapon/holster/mag pouches/ off duty mag pouches / off duty holster

ect

Thanks

There was a problem a year or two ago with the 21, but that was with the trigger bar, I believe. I think that was before the 21SF came out. I haven't heard of any problems with the 21SF, you should be good to go.

i havent gotten to shoot one yet, but the ones i've molested at the gun shop have my credit card trembling. i cant believe they didnt do the SF line years ago.

Just be aware if you get the 21SF with the pic rail you will have to get a different holster than the standard 21 holster. The pic rail in my opinion looks better, I have one and I have a comp-tac holster.

I work PT at a shop too and I have a standard Rail / Night Sight/ single side release sitting in the safe waiting for me...

I just wish Glock would be smart enough to make a SF/SS Slim frame Slim SLide

I have one with standard Glock rail and standard mag catch. Great weapon.

I had one of the first ones, it had an 8lb trigger. Buy a new production one and you wont have any problems.

I swear I am still totally mystified as to why Glock won't make a .45 smaller than the 21/21SF, but larger than those puny little 30/36's. ??
WHY? I know they would sell like hotcakes.

For years I've wanted a Glock .45ACP, but the damn 21/21SF feels like a beer can in my hand...
That is probably the SOLE reason I'm going with an M&P45. I have the flemsy M&P trigger, but it does work, and I've seen nothing but good reviews.
I did pick up a new 4th Generation Glock .40 cal (G22 maybe it was?), with the new slide serrations, and the new grip texture, and it felt comfortable "enough", and IF it had not been a 40cal, I'd have been all over it.
What do you guys recommend, and is anyone else in my place too?
I can't believe there has not been more of an outcry from people for a Glock 45 in this size.
The ONLY other option I know of would be to take the G30/36 (whichever is the single stack model), and use those damn "extended magazine/grip extensions", but I just can't bring myself to do that. Just seems like too much of a backup gun to me, and I never could get comfortable with it as a primary weapon, and I've always wanted a Glock in 45ACP as a primary weapon...
Thoughts? Info? Shared disappointment?

Maybe there's some mechanical/engineering reason why a .45 caliber Glock has to be that size. I would imagine that it does soak up recoil to some extent.

I've seen two where the match catch fell out. It was a 2 minute fix, but it was the same with both, the internal catch wasn't installed properly and after a few manipulations, it fell out.
