Glock CS - G21SF Good to go! long story
Just got a brand new Glock21Sf shipped to me from Smyrna GA w/ three 13rds mags. Now it's range time.
Anyway, several weeks ago I committed myself to buying a "used" Glock 21SF- ambi mag release model. At the time I didn't know that Glock was discountinuing this model due to several problems w/ mag release itself. When I took a delivery at my FFL's place, pistol had no sights on- turned out that the seller took out his night sights and forgot to put OEM sights back on. Not happy at all! Contacted the seller who was very surprised he actually did that, and promised to make it right. Shipped the upper back to him- he lost the front night sight due to some dumb luck! - so I asked to just put anything on. He installed a dead front sight on ,w/ glowing rear sight. Well, at least it is better than nothing!
I went to the range after waiting for almost a week for the upper to come back, shot almost 30rds of Federal ammo. Several of empty brass came right at my eyes and several more over my head. I was wondering what the heck was going on since I never had this experience, I actually had my SA1911 w/ me and it worked much better. The G21SF also had constant fail to feed w/ the last round using different mag. When I tap the magazine upward, the slide actually move forward chambering a round w/out me touching slide release. I tried loading 2 rds, 4 rds, 5rds and the same thing happened w/ the last round not feeding from magazine- turned out that loaded magazines didn't catch the metal tab of this ambi mag catch. At this point, I lost all confidence in this Glock 21Sf. I called Glock customer service to complaint about this. The guy, don't remember what his name was, over the phone said to ship it in- but at my own expense. So, I said to him that the pistol is defective, and it's Glock's fault for letting this through. I went on and on for a few more minutes, and almost finished saying that I also own Ruger pistols and Ruger has better............ he finally agreed to send me the call tag- "just only this one time" Yeah right! I have owned G17, (2) G19, G24, (2)G26, (2)G27, G35 and none of them has ever given me a problem.
Anyway, I got a call tag through e-mail, dropped it off at FedEx station the next day. One week went by, no one contacted me. Another 3 days went by, FedEx express truck stopped by at my place w/ a box and I was wondering what it was. I looked at the return address, and kinda knew but still wondering what Glock did to my G21SF which I sent in. I opened the package to find a brand new matching number G21SF w/ regular mag catch and three 13 mags. Oh, boy! I am happy, just like the morning of Christmas day.
The only bad thing is they still put back that stupid sights I had on my defective G21SF w/ ambi mag release- dead front sight and glowing rear sight. Hopefully, these sights won't come back and haunt me like some of these horror movies.
Pictures later.
