The newest Glock pistol, the G21 SF. The SF stands for Slim Frame. We put this new glock head to head with some other pistols to compare size and weight. The H&K USP in .45acp, the XD45 5" Tactical in .45acp and a Glock G19 in 9mm

The Glock 21SF and the H&K USP 45 are close to the same size. The new Glock has a standard light rail
Safariland told me that the 21sf with the Glock rails will fit their holsters, but if you hve the new 1913 rails they will not fit. I love my 21sf and prefer it slightly over my USP. I anticipate that many companies will start making holsters compatible with the 1913 rails system.
De Santis Holster makes great holster"s for Glock 21 sf they are about 60$ but it's worth it. I am very happy with my holster. best way the ordering is thrue their web side.
Hank.
i have a g21sf also the holster that fits mine ar the fobus g30 kydex holster and the safriland 6280 duty holster and the h&k blackwidow by bianchi and glock is making a specail shoulder holster for it too.
I'm a young civilian carrier and I purchased the 21 sf as my second handgun and first Glock. I prefer the full size handgun to the compact or sub compact sizes, being the .45 acp fantatic that I am.
The holster?
I got a damn good one. Tan leather and it turns heads at the range too. It's a button snap strap holster and the release is even made out of thick, hard leather. It's a Bianchi, and they make the holster specifically for the 21 sf. Check em' out. I paid 75 bucks plus tax for mine.
i recently test both the glock 21 and the glock 21sf they is a big difference to me the glock 21 fit ok to me but the sf is a bit slimer and give better stabilt and control i loved my glock best purchased yet and i have a big collection its my first 45 by glock
I have a Safariland SS70 level 3 holster that I use on duty. I have one of the original Glock 21's that I have been carrying since 1992. I just purchased the Glock 21 SF and it fits without any problems. The only thing I had to do is loosen the allen head screw on the bottom of the holster. I did this to keep th light rail from rubbing the inside of the holster.
I am really interested in buying a new glock 21sf.I currently carry a glock 22 for duty and a glock 36 off duty. Very concerned about all I'm reading about the unavailability of a duty holster. I want to get a safariland SLS. Has anyone tried to Fit this 21sf into a glock 22 or a regular glock 21 duty holster? Had a headache with finding holsters w/ the glock 36. IF a headache going to go with a sig P220.
If you can't find a holster for a G21 you're not really looking. EVERYBODY makes leather/kydex holsters for them, the G21 SF will use the SAME holsters as the G21.
I love this gun the ambidextrous mag catch short frame and great control , only thing i cant find a holster , I had G22 40S&W it was very small for me G21 SF the pistol for me for sure I already put 1000 rounds gun is amazing very accurate and comfortable i would recomended the anyone .
