My personal experience with my newly acquired *Glock 21 Gen 5* is totally satisfactory. This model 21 is amazingly accurate, with a great smooth trigger pull superior to prior generations, great ergonomics, and no malfunctions at all. The price is reasonable. I ordered two Taran Tactical extended base +4 magazines to carry 17+1 rounds of 45 ACP 😎 I am pleased!
Think I’ll make this my first baby😅😅
Is the G21 your actual edc gun?
@@dojos2874 one of them. I rotate my handguns.
I use my glock 30s with glock 21 mag and x-grip / glock 21 mag with taran + Extension for spare 17 rounds....😊
@@rddayjr What is the purpose of having a short barreled handgun with an extra long magazine? The hardest part to conceal is the handgun's grip. If you want to carry the extra rounds, you may as well carry the model 21; it makes more sense.
This man has the best recoil control ive ever seen
I love the 21. 13-rounds of reliable AF .45. Great home protection piece.
I don’t want to be the 22nd like but, I’ll say I like this comment
Yep I rock g30 gen 4 I can’t wait til they come out with the gen 5 version. I use panzer bp12 for home defense
Outdated boomer fudd cartridge
@@DB-sd3cw You need to do your home work. First of all 9MM is an older cartridge than .45 ACP so by your thinking then both 9MM and .45 ACP are outdated???? here's your big chance to prove that they are outdated. Outdated for what??? outdated to only you. It's a lie to call it outdated .45 ACP ammo is a big seller as we speak.
I love how the 45 ACP makes a loud pop instead of a bang 😮
Still gotta love .45 acp. Launching bowling balls.
You handled the recoil like it was nothing. Awesome review, like always.
Because the 45 ACP is weak when you're used to shooting 10mm.
@@roostershooter76 i never shot a 10mm. It must be awesome.
Shooting a 21 hardly has any recoil because of the weight its like shooting a 9mm maybe even less recoil
Thanks Autilio! I appreciate it~
Wouldn’t the Glock 41 be the biggest?
I have a Springfield Armory TRP 1911 and a Glock 21. The difference in recoil and control is ASTONISHING. The Glock is so much softer shooting as to be hard to believe and just as accurate.
Glock's are softer shooting due to the hollowed out space in grip.
I have watched this video over and over and can't get enough of the recoil control this man has! Literally went and bought a Gen5 Glock 21 because of this video. Thanks!!
What recoil? I got a 30sf and it has no recoil
I have Glocks with finger grooves and without finger grooves. They're both perfectly fine.
This.
I have average sized hands and find the finger grooves helpful with my 2 big bore Glocks (A G21 Gen 4 and G30 Gen 4). Love my G19 Gen 5 just as much!
I have a Gen 2 Glock 21 I have run tens of thousands of rounds through, and has been my primary carry for 30 years. The only mods are a lighter trigger and Trijicon, 3 dot sights. (On my second set)
It has never failed me.
I apparantly have a Gen 3 and cannot justify money to upgrade.
You fired tons of ammo is there a store you could recommend that is affordable? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
I have a gen3. I love the 45 push rather than the 9mm snap on recoil! An old 1911 fella here. I got the Glock because of the round count!
Agreed. Love my G21 & G30 generation 4 but generation 3 is my favorite model line.
You should have gotten either the FNP45 or para ordnance p14 1911
@@coreturkoane5570 I thought hard about the FNX45 but went with the Glock. Wanted to try striker fired handgun.
10mm is God's MM
Bought it the first week it came out. One of the smoothest shooting Glocks available. Way smoother than the Gen 3
I’m glad someone finally made a good review of the 21 gen 5 mos nobody has done a better review than you I appreciate it thanks
Would love it if they'd do a Glock 30S gen 5.
Technically anymore this would just be a model 30 gen 5
Man that ejection pattern is damn near perfect
Can’t understand why Glock took so long to release a Gen5 model 21.
Carried a 21 with night sights and TLR1 on duty the last 16 years of my career. Recoil is very manageable. Very reliable, never experienced a malfunction. My agency finally upgraded from Gen 3 to Gen 4 mid last year. Qualified with it upon issue then retired and it was presented to for my 25 year retirement. Love this gun but just too large for concealed EDC. It lives in my nightstand now.
You can conceal it if your holster is deep enough 😂
My guess is Glock took so long because 9mm, 10mm and 40cal generate way more income for them.
@@helifanodobezanozi7689does 40 or 10mm actually generate more income than .45 acp? 😮
@@taasch2505 As far as income goes, yes. There are more law enforcement agencies still using .40 S&W than 45acp. Also, 10mm has enjoyed an uptick in popularity in the last 5 years. What it ultimately comes down to is, Glock has 100% accurate sales data on which pistols in their inventory are selling more. It is literally their business! (LOL!) They will ALWAYS try to put resources towards whatever platform will make them more money in the least amount of time!
@@helifanodobezanozi7689 I was always curious. I had this idea that .45 acp was still massively popular. More so than the .40. I actually like .40 quite a bit in a mid size or full size gun. I have the trio of XD-40s and I didn't care for it as much in the 3" subcompact. But in practicing and little by little my groups are closing in and getting tighter. It's still not where I want it. I have a 3" group of 12 yards and that's not good enough for me. My goal is to be able to get to about a 2" group at 15 yards with it before I'm happy enough to carry it
I would prefer a G21 gen 5 without the MOS, but I'm interested.
If anyone is wondering, ergonomically, the gen 5 is more comfortable in the hands than the gen 4 or the gen 4 SF, in my opinion. Ive shot the gen 4 at a range and found it to be pleasant to hold and shoot, but the gen 5 just feels better. I also have average sized hands for a male and it didn’t feel too big or too much to control. The gen 5 was really accurate and fun to shoot, and recoil was very controllable. The only downside is the cost of 45 acp at the moment.
Indeed, at this point, I'm considering the 20 over the 21 because optimized 10mm is the same price.
@@theumpteenthtime8854 yeah I get that, more capacity and slightly better performance for the same price? I don’t blame you for considering the 10 mm. I just had a large amount of 45 acp ammo laying around with no 45 caliber handgun so I figured the 21 would be solid pick up.
@@andrewng9977 I'd take a 21 in that situation, no problem, but I have a P220 in 45 already, so a 10mm with good capacity is on my list.
@@theumpteenthtime8854 The 20 is a good choice as long as you don't intend for it to be a home defense gun. 10mm indoors is going to ring your ears a lot worse than .45 would.
As far as hand size on a larger handgun goes it’s simply a matter of changing you grip.
Hey man! It was nice to meet you at NRAAM (Brazilian dude)! Thanks for the review! I like my Gen 4 (20 and 21). I don’t like the Gen 5 front serrations and optics cut…. So, I’ll stick to the Gen 4s for now… 😆
Cheers!
gen 4 feels better.
2:52 I never had any use for the 21 until they came out with the 21SF. That SF changes the whole feel of the pistol and I can get comfortable with it. Mine shoots well.
I still carry a Gen 2 G21! I think it's time for an upgrade. Hopefully the Gen 5 model 30 will be available soon.
We need a gen 5 glock 30
Environmentally friendly, the plastic is now edible.
😂. Eat up family
😂
What do you mean "now?" I already ate my Gen 3. 🤦♂️
OMG😂
Bon apetit :-)
Got my G21 gen 5 in February and have been loving it so far. I put an EOTech EFLX red dot on top and a set of tall Trijicon night sights and I couldn't be happier.
I have only held one, but removing the finger grooves, huge upgrade in getting a good grip on it
My first .45 was a gen3 G21 bought in the first summer of the covid pandemic. Very glad I got it. It's thick and a little heavy but I feel safe knowing it's close by.
Thanks a bunch Sootch. It's been some time since I've looked at one of your videos. But this evening I became aware of the Glock 21 5th Gen. And I must say that when I saw your thumbnail, I had to click. I knew you're review would be honest, solid, and very informative. You did not disappoint. What a tank of a gun in. 45 ACP. Thanks man. Stay up.✌️
Im just glad and appreciative that some body is shining the light on this gem. The only real review on the G21 Gen 5.
I got it and I love it! Really fun to shoot. Man you have the best gun reviews out there! Thanks so much!
Got this with 3 mags and a loader for $575 so it’s definitely a good deal for an solid accurate pistol
Look at the flawless ejection of the brass. Perfection, just like they advertise. I love my Gen 4 FS.
Gen 5 is what finally made me a Glock owner. I've been hoping for a 21 gen 5, just wish that had a non-MOS version.
I have been waiting for this gen5 G21 45acp. My G21sf and G30SF were super soft to shoot; also more accurate and comfortable than my Sig 1911 and Sig P220.
Also a 45-10 conversion barrel and 10mm mag shot 100% reliably with my G21SF without any other changes.
I use the G21sf and I have big hands and it fits perfectly. Love it.
I was never a Glock fan until the Gen 5. Now I’m a huge fan. I have been waiting to get the 21 and now the wait is over.
Best review of 20/21 Gen5 so far, thanx.
Thanks, Sootch00! Another great video- I really appreciate all you do- I've purchased many Glocks (and other great firearms) based on your thorough and very entertaining reviews!!
Clear, Concise and Informative. Thank you.
I have the first Glock 21 to be used on the street for law enforcement in the USA. It served me well throughout my career.
Finally, a Gen 5 Glock in .45 ACP
The death ray.
Got one a month ago and I absolutely love it
Been carrying for EDC for over 6 months... love it!!! I added a hogue grip...
Excellent overview of the latest large frame Glocks. Don, you are a very good teacher. This is really helpful to the shooters who are new to Glocks. I imagine a new comer could be overwhelmed with the model numbers, generations, and calibers. Thank you for helping to sort it out.
Shrayer unneis
One of the reasons GLOCKs don’t change dramatically from one generation to the next, is the initial design is excellent. It’s not much different than a 1911 in that respect. The changes tend to be cosmetic, or ergonomic, but the overall design doesn’t change because that’s what makes it a GLOCK. I shoot a lot and when you have to detail strip your gun or perform routine maintenance on your gun, you will gain a greater appreciation for the design of the gun.
I wish I could get a G17 with a grip the size of the G21. The GLOCKs chambered in 45 ACP are soft shooting and very accurate guns. The G21 is one of my favorite guns. Thanks for the review.
I love my Glock 21 Gen4. Great shooting pistol with Talon grips, grip plug, Tru glow night sights, and extend slide lock and stop. The only things I wish it had from the Gen5 was the optics cut and the better slide coating. I might have to get the optics cut done at some point. Thanks for the review Sootch00.
@@IdahoSnek I know how to shoot with factory sights. I said it would be nice to have an optic. Do you think everyone using optics needs training?
I have a Gen 2 I still carry and love 👍
Glocks are a MAN'S GUN! And Don Porter You are the Man! Love it! Keep on putting out the BEST Videos Anywhere And Thanks! RC from Texas!
Meet the new block, same as the old block..except now there's an optics cut and we got rid of the finger grooves lol.
get a 22lr sissy boy. Lay off the soymilk.
Sootch00, I have been watching your pistol reviews for several years. Honestly the best reviews out there. Keep it up!
Good review. The Glock 21SF (Gen 3) is still available. You can thank the California handgun roster if you are a Gen 3 fan.
I bought my Gen 3 new many years ago. I love it and shoot it better than any other .
It's a full sized service weapon. Add a red dot sight and a tactical light and you're all set. My girl actually prefers the Glock 21 because she likes a grip that fills both of her hands and she loves shooting it!
Got a g21 gen 5 mos
For 500 out the door.
It was marked used. But it was never fired from the previous owner.
Nice review. Like Glocks or not you cant argue that they are stone cold reliable!
This Gun is on my list to buy this Year. Thanks for the video.
You always make great videos, thank you very much 👍.
Love your videos, man. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Joshua!
Great video. You highlighted why Glocks are popular for real shooters. I get a good laugh reading ignorant comments about how Glock doesn’t innovate and all models are the same.
And a lot of them are the same folks that will tell you how much better a 1911 is. 😂
@@dankeglock a 1911 is one of my favorite target pistols. Way too heavy to carry though
@@cleetismcdougall5425 I love the 1911 platform and I’ve carried a steel frame commander for my CCW. Over the years, however, I transitioned to carrying GLOCKs predominantly. I think of GLOCKs as a handgun design platform, much like the 1911, and as such you would not expect a revolutionary change in the design. It would no longer be a GLOCK at that point. The changes will be evolutionary and never deviate far from the original design, much like the 1911 over the last 100 years+.
@@dankeglock that’s what I have, a steel frame Commander with the Wilson Combat catalog of parts in it. I’m use to carrying Glocks so that much weight just doesn’t make sense to me. I do shoot better with the 1911 though.
Another great video from Sootch.
Excellent review, thanks
I've got the gen 4. Was my first .45. So very awesome. May still get the gen 5, definitely need the gen 5 20.
I got my first gen 3 a few months ago and it's my GLOCK 23 40 cal and my new every day carry
I've been waiting for one of the big boys to review this thing for a while now, finally. Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for that one!
Outstanding video review. I have watched it 3 times and not only do I have the moxie but now I have the gun !!!
I have a 21 gen3 SF. Very smooth recoil for a 45acp.
I find it interesting you left out the Gen 2 guns which many of us considered the best of the series. This Gen 5 might finally be a true upgrade from the Gen 2s and worth adding to "stable".
great review . that recoil looks substantial
Lol its only .45
have you done the glock 22 gen 5?
best part about the G21 is the barrel conversion kits. you can make the G21 into 10mm etc
Not sure why but a lot of barrel makers have been discontinuing these convention barrels for the G21?
@@jonbaniak9097i really hope not. I just bought a Gen5 G21 with full intentions of purchasing a 10mm barrel as well as a threaded barrel in 45acp but everything i find online isnt compatible with gen5. It just came out in 2023 so maybe they just havent manufactured them yet?
My first Glock was a Gen 3 G21 non-SF fatty made in 2005. I bought it to replace my 92FS for carry. Later on I got a Gen 2 G17 and MAN did that thing feel ridiculously small compared to what I was used to carrying. The G19 almost feels like an Ruger LCP in perspective.
Agreed. After carrying the 21 for years I tried to switch to a 19. I picked it up the 19 and said “I feel like I’m gonna break this damn thing” 😂
I gotta have it! I luv .45 ACP and the kick it has to it. Great in-depth review once again Sootch! 💪
I want a PDP in 45
I gotta say I do love the removal of the finger grooves, I love my Glock 21 gen 3 but I have large hands so I had overhang holding it most of the time. Really love the New Gen 5, great pistol!
The grip on my FN FNX 45 is allot slimmer than the gen5 g21's... And I get 15 plus 1 in the tube... Gotta love it!
Nice review very informative 👍
Tbh, your Review reminded me why glock's are the best pistols ever made
Great review!
I have the G30 gen4 and the G41 gen4 for home defense . G41 is also for going into the woods . But I carry my former service G19 everyday 🇺🇸
Great Review as always. Whenever I see a Glock 21, I'm reminded of "Justified" and Ralyan Givens.
Been waiting for this review
Gun reviewers get way too hung up on “innovation”. Glock made a pistol that took almost 40 years for anyone to come close to catching up. Nothing wrong with minor generational changes as long as its still a Glock.
Great review
Looks gorgeous! I want that!!
Self-defense when things get wild. Worth buying it, it could save your life.
Out takes are hilarious!
I’ve been carrying and using Glocks over 30 years. I love them. I wish they did more than incremental / generational changes. Other companies have left them behind in so many ways but it is still tough to beat the original and gold standard in polymer striker fired pistols.
Tough to beat? It's basically the worst gun on the market compared to it's competition 🤣
@@maximusjoseppi5904 in what way exactly?
@@bloodycrepe Doesnt innovate, doesnt create models to shoot shooters needs. Glock cant compete on its own without the aftermarket. Every modern gun today can meet "glock reliability" and has surpassed glocks in round counts and military testing/trials. The rest of the world has caught up for the same price(and arguably much less than what glock charges)with better materials. Glock was born in the 80s and stayed in the 90s. But hey it takes glock mags.
@@TheJackmilla I hear the doesn't "innovate" argument over and over again but I do not buy it. Can you list exactly what other manufactures have innovated in modern handguns compared to Glock? Your other points are very subjective.
@@bloodycrepe Different adjustable grip panels, optics plates, gun cases with a heap of accessories, extra mags out the box, better serrations, improved recoil mechanisms, and if any shooters request or give feedback then youll see future models released with those ideas put into place. All of this at the same price of a glock or less(maybe a tad more in some cases).
Yearrssss, good one Don. May need to check this out. Great video!
Great Video I just pick one up. Thanks
I can see owning one of these- what a beast
Awesome glock wouldn't mind having one thanks for sharing sootch00
great video, great gun! Thx!
Great video. I've had my eye on a used 21 for a while but that ginormous grip...anyway, I've got the new Gen 5 ordered through my local FFL dealer. I love my G30s and always wanted this biggun!
I love my Gen 5 but there's something about the generation 3 SF model. The recoil impulse, and the smooth buttery action of the slide with the Gen 3 is something special. Not to mention the octagonal barrel!
that intro was cool as heck!!!
Good review.
GREAT REVIEW
Great video sir! Speaking on aftermarket support for Glocks, the large frame models don’t have near the support as the smaller frames. Try and find an aftermarket trigger for a G21/20. Not many choices. Take care.
I just got a Gen 3 21SF and I love it. Been debating getting it milled for a red dot and I really want the front slide serrations. Might just try to get a Gen 5 MOS. Great video as always
I just got one a month ago I love it
You are so right 👍I like my Glcok 45ACP and my ZC75B 😊
