I owned a Glock for over a decade once, and it was a G21.
I remember it as being very easy to shoot, recoil-wise. But it's a Glock, so I got rid of it. I hope somebody here got it; sounds like it's in demand.
I believe I only ever shot WWB through it, and it never did hiccup.
I ran a G21SF gen3 a whole season and a half of pin shooting without cleaning it. I decided to clean it once it started doing some weird stuff. Gun was filthy but it ran hard for a long time.I owned a Glock for over a decade once, and it was a G21.

Well, I was comparing it to an AO 1911A1 I had around the same time, so...I don't know, man. I thought the same. I shot/owned exclusively glocks for a year or so after I got my LTC (I shoot many thousands of rounds a year). Then I got a 92fs. I can shoot the 92fs so much more accuratley and better than any glock, as well at the 92fs is so much smoother, less jumpy and recoiling to the point where I find the glocks "snappy" in comparison.
Don't get me wrong, glocks are objectivley a great handgun, and do what a handgun is supposed to do. They just aren't as enjoyable to shoot.
Probably an ergonomics thing, i can't stand regular 92s but my 92X is great. Glocks don't fit many people properly and thats understandable. I didn't get into Glocks till later but they make up 65% of my handguns now.I don't know, man. I thought the same.

I'll always prefer 1911s or Hi-Powers to almost anything else, but it was the '90s and everyone was getting a Glock. Lol.

I thought about getting into a Hi-Power or one of the various clones (even the Hungarian FEG hybrid Hi-power ish gun) but parts and magazines lead me to the 92fs. I can say I am quite happy with it as one of my first metal frame guns.
It's not that I can't afford the Glock 21, it's just I have 3 Glocks already, I don't need a fourth. You gonna tell me the Px4 or SR45 isn't worth a crap? I disagree, the Hi Point... I just like the .45 one is all. I don't like any of their other pistols.Lol absolutely none of those guns compete with even an old crusty Gen2 G21. The P90 is the choice i would reluctantly make out of that pile of junk. At least those had a good reputation for reliability like their 9mm cousins.
The gun you're actually looking for is a folded slide proof marked Sig P220. IMHO that's the only peer to a G21, capacity aside. But it sounds like you're too cheap for that, but that makes little sense to be cheap seeking a gun that uses ammo thats like 28+ dollars a box these days.

Sig 220?I'm bored, so I'll talk more. I've had a .45 autoloader on my mind for a while now, but the Glocks are not high on my list mainly because I've got Glock fatigue as I own 3 already, one being 10mm. The 10mm holds more and has much more power, runs .40 no problem.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't like a .45, I just don't want a Glock and the .45's Ruger made in the past really stands out for me, mainly the P90 as it's probably the least expensive DA/SA .45 out there. Beretta Px4 is also an option for a DA/SA .45, but that thing looks as thick as a Glock. The SR45 looks good and is priced good used and since it's a 10 round I get the feeling it's going to be a lot thinner than the Glock or Beretta. Kind of wish Ruger had made a compact version of the SR45.
Last but not least there's always Hi Point. They're +P rated, so you can feed it hot handloads, maybe even throw in some .45 Super just to test it. If it breaks, Hi Point basically replaces them for free. That's probably the one reason I'd buy it actually, just to run .45 Super. That and the camo models just look good.
