Glock 21– Looking for some stopping power? The Glock 21 is your gun then! The Glock 21 is one of the most powerful police handguns. In this Glock 21 review, Best Police Guns is going to discuss the Glock 21 and the Glock 21 price. Glock 21 review!

The Glock 21 is a full size .45 automatic handgun. It is the original big bore handgun made by Glock and carried by many police officers as their duty issued handgun. While not the most popular Glock pistol used daily, it is sure up there with the Glock 17 and Glock 22. One of the reasons that the Glock 21 is popular is because it can hold 13 rounds in the magazine. That is more than most other .45 pistols can. One of the key differences in the Glock 21 than the other Glock pistols is that the Glock 21 has a lighter slide. This lighter slide is what helps the Glock 21 be so accurate. In all of the Glock 21 reviews you will see that people rave about the accuracy of the Glock 21. Best Police Guns has fired the Glock 21 on several occasions and can attest to the accuracy of the Glock 21. Obviously some of the accuracy has to do with the shooter. A handgun can only be as accurate as the shooter is.

One of the most common concerns that Best Police Guns reads in Glock 21 reviews is that people are concerned with the kickback of the Glock 21. As like all other police guns, kickback is only an issue if you aren't properly holding onto the firearm. Yes a .45 auto is going to have more kick than a 9 mm police gun, but it is manageable.

A lot of people get the Glock 21 and the Glock 21C confused and think the Glock 21C is a compact version of the Glock 21. That is incorrect. The compact Glock .45 auto is the Glock 38 and the subcompact Glock .45 auto is the Glock 39. The Glock 21C is a full size .45 auto but is considered a Glock compensator pistol. The Glock "C" models contain an integrated compensator which produces a higher rate of accuracy during rapid fire. Typically the Glock 21C is used during competitions.
