How's the recoil from the G21 45?
The Glock .45 auto is the SMOOTHEST shooting .45 I have ever shot.
My first experience in life with .45's was in the service. One of my specialities in the service was Nuclear Weapons. Our main weapon was a M16 and we were also issued side arms, the Colt M1911 .45.
Comparing the recoil from a steel framed .45 1911 and a polymer framed Glock is night/day difference. I LOVE .45 since it was the first I cut my teeth on as a young man.
I was introduced to Glock in the 1980's in Germany. I was at the Grafenveer training area and our 1st Sgt asked us if we wanted to shoot a plastic gun. It was a generation 1 G17. I could not believe how soft that thing was. But, it's also a 9mm vs a steel framed .45. But still, I liked it.
That was in 82 or 83. Roll clock forward to 1989 and I had just returned from South Korea and was at Ft Lewis Wa., Rod/Gun Club. There in the case was Glock. I knew exactly what it was and I wanted it soooo bad. I passed on the buy because I was leaving the service to go to college and decided I needed my money for tution/books (which I did).
So, I delayed gratification for many years. I graduated, started my new career and tody, I have amassed MANY Glocks. Those pics, are but a few. I have MANY. I'm a Glock and AR freak LOL. And I'm in the medical field. Imagine that.
