Thoughts on the Glock 21? I’ve got a RIA 1911 I’m wanting to trade because I don’t like it as much as I thought I would when I bought it, and I’ve got someone offering a used Glock 21 Gen 4 with 3 13 round magazines and with night sights and only about 400 rounds through it. I’ve got about $450 total in my 1911 and this seems like a good trade, and I won’t need to start buying new ammo because I’ve still got about 600 rounds of .45. So how is the Glock 21 for a full size .45 pistol? I have never held one so I don’t know how blocky it will feel but I have large hands and am not very worried about it being big.
Should I try to hold off for a different trade or is this a good trade? I’m only asking $400 for my gun so it seems like a good trade but I’ve never shot any Glocks and don’t know what memes are real or fake.
thats the best trade ever. who cares about the market value of each gun.

The only issue with the Glock is that the slide is spray painted tan and it looks like Nutnfancy tier ass, but it’s just cosmetic. I’ll either try to remove the paint or just spray paint it black.

That's a fair trade for sure

I carried a glock 22 for 8 years, and recently switched to the Glock 20, which is also a "large" frame glock. The size doesnt bother me at all, when comparing to a regular sized frame it looks and feels huge but after holding it for a few minutes you dont really notice it I have medium size hands and I can hold it comfortably with one hand

I'm not a Glock guy but I used to have an RIA and I have experience with a gen 3 g21. I say go for it. The glock finish should be fine for you to use whatever chemical cleaners you need to to get the spray paint off.
I'd say to finger fuck one or, better yet, rent one before buying. That said, if it feels comfortable it's a significantly easier, lighter, more durable .45 to deal with. Also capacity.
Do it, man. That RIA can be replaced if you change your mind.

Glocks are shit, buy literally anything else

Even if you don’t like the Glock, trading a Rock Island for a G21 is a trade up.
