Glock 21sf For Defense? Kaboom?

You know, a bottlenecked round like the 357 Sig doesn't need a huge cut in the ramp to feed reliably.

Just sayin'...

Fine. If you want to do what logic dictates is a Bad Idea, go ahead. But just don't be shooting next to me at the range. I don't want to be nearby when that case you fired previously in your Glock gets turned so the overstretched area is again in line with the unsupported area of the chamber and decides to let go. You can say I'm "wrong" and that you do it all the time all you want. That still doesn't make it a good idea. Logic and physics say otherwise.

To the OP: Get what you want, just do your homework, and be aware of the limitations of your firearm. By doing that, you should be safe. Some models are obviously better than others. You have to know what you're dealing with, just like with any other gun. Try to avoid hotter loads, and only buy quality ammunition. Nothing can eliminate the possibility of a bad round or a freak accident, but you can reduce it to the point where you don't have to worry about it. The .40 in particular should be avoided, though, due to the bullet setback risk.

You are wrong again. Why do you feel the need to bash something and speak false statements? Do you have an agenda to push?

My g21 has seen over 10k handloads and not a SINGLE ONE has bulged any brass! You ARE WRONG. You are spreading innacuracies and lies on the internet, why?

IF logic had much top do with some of these discussions, somebody would logically pick up on the post(s) where hundreds of thousands of rounds have been shot through Glocks iwth no incidents. I personally have fired over 300,000 of my reloads through my Glocks, mostly .45acps through G21s. Never had a problem related to shooting .45acps through my Glocks.

LOGICALLY, if there were a systemic design problem, Glocks would be blowing up all over the place!
