I love and carry my G21. It has had over 3000 rounds with no problems.

I had just under 3000 when I traded my own 21 to a deputy sheriff whose new boss decided to allow his deputies to use the .45 caliber 21 as well as the .40 caliber guns. At the time I had a 19 and a 22, and got a Glock 30 from hin trade, useful since my girlfriend at the time found my East German Makarov to be just right for her smallish hands and I still had my 21 magazines to use in the Model 30. The Glock 22 went to a young USAF ROTC cadet who talked his parents into buying it for him when they asked him what he wanted for a graduation present: a 22 pistol he somewhat sneakily specified. And so I got a right price for it, picked up a new *grenade grip* model 17, and replaced both my old 17 and 19 with the new one, happily outfitted with all the spare magazines from the 4 previous 9mm Glocks I've had over the years, including three Glock 18 33-round magazines.

Now I'm down to just that G17 so far as plastic pistolas are concerned, and it's served me well, except for a recent hitch with a security company that required double-action 9mm handguns. The BATF considers the Glock trigger to technically be a double-action, but my ex-cop S&W fan boss did not. And I couldn't use my Browning GP 9mm, either.

I couldn't find a good deal on a S&W M39 that I liked, so settled for an ex-Bundeswehr Walther P.38, which worked just fine. And I had the Glock 30 for a backup.
