My Gen4 G21 did this for quite a while too. It's still pretty stout, but it has loosened up quite a bit. It's really just a matter of space. The 13rds are jammed into the magazine pretty tightly so there's not much more room to compress them as you bring the slide back.

For carry, I usually carry 12 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber. The Gen4 G21 has become my favorite Glock ever, and I've had most of them. Such a good gun. I'm really excited to get my hands on a Gen4 G20 now as well.
