GLOCK 21 GEN 5

GLOCK 21 GEN 5

Full Size
Often used by people who do not need to hide their guns, they have longer barrels and are heavier which makes them easy to shoot. 4.5+ inch barrel lengths.
Striker-Fired
Striker-fired pistols are easy to shoot but, you must practice manipulating them. They have a larger capacity than revolvers and their short trigger reset allows you to take many successive shots. This makes them an efficient choice for defense.
45 ACP
The .45 ACP has more stopping power because it has a bigger bullet that can hit vital organs. But it's harder to shoot because it has more recoil. It's effective, but it's expensive and not always available, especially during shortages. Overpenetration is a big concern when using guns for self-defense, so it's important to use them responsibly.
Ambidexterous
The controls on this handgun work for both left-handed and right-handed people.
13 Rounds
The magazine/cylinder for this handgun can hold 13 rounds of ammunition.

Has an Accessory Rail
