Take this with a grain of salt……IMHO and FWIW:
Everything I need in a 9mm Glock has been provided with the Gen. 3. All my 9mm Glocks are Gen. 3.
This is not the case with the .40 and .45ACP. They need to be sprung differently and they need a beefier slide.
Mind you, I only shoot 230 Grain Hardball in all my .45ACP handguns for all applications. If I want fast and expanding, I will go with a 9mm.
The recoil impulse of the Glock 21 may require further training for some. Unless you have Goliath hands, you’re trigger reach and grip pressure may require close attention to detail. Otherwise, limp wristing to some degree can occur. This could lead to all manner of issues.
