Poll: POLL - Is Glock 21 too large for your hands?

[bbowl]

Wondering how anyone who's handled them feels. I mean proper grip, not having to rotate your hand to get more finger on trigger.

I have smallish hands. The first 3 Gens always made me feel like I was really extending my palm out. Trigger control was no problem...but I always felt like the back end would slide out. I have a gen 4 now and I feel like I can really "grip" it with the thinnest backstrap .

 

[orygun]

I don't have little hands, in fact I have thin, longish fingers. I've not held a 21SF, but when 21 came out I picked one up and played touchie-feely. It felt like I was gripping a 2x4!
I really wanted a high capacity 45 and ended up with a Para Ordnance p12-45 because the grip was more manageable.

 

[Joe13]

Same here, big hands so its no issue but I'm not a fan of them.

 

[The Heretic]

I have a first gen - bought a long time ago.

I also have fairly large hands.

While I can shoot it fine, it is a bit large even for my hands. I prefer my SIG P229 by quite a bit.

 

[nwhpfan]

I don't think so. I have "average" sized hands and find the G4 G21 the perfect size. I have a G4 G34 and find the standard grip dooable..but a little too small so I run it with the medium backstrap. FWIW.

I've got average to small hands, so grip is a big deal for me. I've got a 21sf that I can handle just fine, standard Gen3 21 is a bit large. I've not yet held a Gen4, so no idea how that would feel without the backstraps installed. I do like my 21sf - I sold the first one I had and decided to buy one back again because I missed it. I do like how it shoots compared to some other .45's I've owned.

I shot them lots and really loved them. I have huge hands and took the extra step to add a Hogue handall to make it fit just right

 

[NWGlockgal]

I have "average size" girl hands and have no problem with it.

Well. I can shoot em just fine. I'm talking proper grip. It takes some large hands to get it.

 

[mark9fogger]

I have long fingers so with the largest backstrap installed my gen 4 G21 fits my hand perfectly. I am going to be shooting it at my local range tomorrow.

 

[BAMCIS]

I have big hands. Not an issue for me.

 

[nitestocker]

i have not had the glock 21 but ive own 3 glock20 anjd there the same size no problems

 

[U8395279]

Do what I did when I wanted a 45

Get a SIG P220. Fits like a glove.

 

[bbowl]

Yep. But you're comparing a single stack to double. Anyone can grip a 1911 for example.

 

[U8395279]

Yep. But you're comparing a single stack to double. Anyone can grip a 1911 for example.

Exactly my point. No worries about the grip.

If someone wants a high cap pistol, they should get a 9mm, 357 Sig, or 40 S&W, in my opinion.

[nitestocker]

get the glock sf or gen 4 you will like it

 

[FOWELKILLER]

ya just picked up a g20 10mm gen 4,feels great but gen 1-3 are big unless you get the sf "slim frame".

Yep, that's how I am. Hope you voted SF/G4 ok

 

[CHLChris]

I really like the beavertail, but I finally determined that for my hands I really need to stay with the Gen4's grip without any backstrap. A gen3 or a gen4 with a backstrap is really too large for comfort.
