I'm on my 3rd G21. The first was a Gen 3 and I put after market sights, a factory 3.5# connector and NY#1 spring. Second was a 21 SF and it was treated the same as the first.

I had a G41 for a while and although I liked it I found I didn't shoot it so it was sold.

The third one, acquired a little over a year ago, is a Gen 4. I put Ameriglo sights on it and stopped modifying. Now I just shoot it.

Gaston G. if you’re reading this, we don’t need any more Gen5 nines. We need a Gen5 21SF. After that, go ahead & make the Gen5 forties.

I could go for a Glock 21S to pair with my 30S.

Bicycle inner tube on the grip and spare magazines. And a night stand to keep it in. Holding the the behemoth of a brick that it is makes me remanince when I was five running around the house in my dad's shoes. But man can I shoot it well.

Added some fiber optic sights. Have a 6" lone wolf barrel to make it hunting legal but don't use it often.

Made a few improvements to a Glock 21SF I used to own...

I won't go into the details here, but the link below will show you how it turned out. Please don't try this at home --- it may not be kosher where you live!

I love gun control. It lets me hit what I'm shooting at!

I like a minus connector, extended mag release, and a nice bright front sight with plain black rear. If I ever stop being cheap may have the finger groove bumps removed.

Hi, I have owned a Gen 3 Glock 21 since 2009, and it is my EDC.

I have done the following mods to it:

1 - KKM fully supported barrel
2 - Tungsten guide rod
3 - 22 lbs recoil spring

1, 2, and 3 are so that the gun is capable of firing 45 Super and 45 SMC, which it does beautifully. I use regular 230 gr 45 ACP as my EDC, and 45 Super when I go in the woods into bear country.

4 - installed Cominolli after market thumb safety
5 - grip chop job so that gun's grip is now the size of a Glock 30 utilizing 9 rd magazines, super easy to conceal. Using XGrip extension, the gun can still use 13 rds mags and feels like the fulll size, non-chopped Glock 21. Pictures on this thread:

.

6 - Installed Tau Group's "Striker Control Device" a.k.a "The Gadget". This is for added safety when re-holstering appendix IWB. Pictures here:

Next mode will be sights, any recommendations?

I am an avid shooter, I have put 1000s of rounds (45 ACP and Super) through this gun in the last 10 years without malfunctions, the gun is utterly reliable (which is why I wanted a Glock).

With the mods, the gun is super easy to conceal and I could not be happier with it. As I said, it is my daily carry.

I carry AIWB. Due to my job at a state university, concealment is a MUST:

I use a Smart Carry Invisible holster when I need to conceal in a suit or slacks with a tucked in buttoned up dress shirt.
When wearing a shirt or sweater untucked, I use a Hidden Hybrid Holster or a Garrett Silent Thunder Slim holster.

I modified mine into an XD45 thumb safety model by selling it and buying the XD!

Oh, thought about the XD, but don't like the grip safety thing.
