GLOCK 21 GEN 5 45 ACP FS/MOS
With the new addition of the .45 AUTO in the Gen5 lineup, the G21 Gen5 MOS delivers improved accuracy, light recoil, and now has the option to install an optic. All of the Gen5 qualities are present in this compact-size pistol: The latest GLOCK nDLC surface finish on the major metal components, unmatched in hardness and rust resistance; the high traction Gen5 frame texture, quickly reversible magazine catch, ambidextrous slide stop lever, the GLOCK Modular Backstrap System (MBS) for individual operator adjustability, the universally-acclaimed GLOCK Safe Action® System and high visibility orange magazine followers.
Front serrations (FS)
To provide a different look and an additional tactile surface.
nDLC finish on slide
GLOCK's nDLC provides tougher, more durable protection than previously used finish. The nDLC finish increases protection against corrosion and scratching and improves the ability of the pistol to function in adverse conditions.
Ambidextrous slide stop lever
The ambidextrous slide stop lever makes it easier for gun owners to quickly, safely and comfortably manipulate the slide whether they are left-handed or right-handed.
GLOCK Marksman barrel
The GLOCK Marksman barrel (GMB) features enhanced barrel rifling based on the proven polygonal barrel design which delivers improved accuracy.
Flared magwell for speedloading
The larger opening of the flared magwell makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the magwell, particularly in high-stress situations where fractions of a second matter.
Versatility by removal of the finger grooves
Comfortable grip to a wider range of consumers, regardless of their finger size.
Safe Action® System
Three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically reengage when the trigger is released.
Enlarged floor plate
The enlarged front of the floor plate makes it easier to pull the magazine free of the pistol if it doesn't fall free during a malfunction or reload.
Safety advantage through orange follower
The orange follower allows the shooter to clearly see if there are any rounds left in the magazine or not.
Magazine capacity
Depending on caliber and size of the pistol model high capacity magazines are available.
Customizable frame size
Every GLOCK Gen5 comes with beavertail backstraps. The backstrap frame allows the users to change the circumference of the grip to fit their individual hand size.
Gen4 RTF - Rough textured frame
The Gen4 proven rough textured frame surface is present on the Gen5 frame as well. It was designed to enhance grip traction, without being too aggressive.
Reversible magazine catch
The magazine catch of the Gen5 frame is reversible and enlarged towards the rear of the pistol. The reversible magazine catch is more user friendly to the shooter's reach and allows them to switch the catch to the left or right side of the pistol.
Mounting rail
Mounting rails in front of the trigger guard of all competition, standard and compact frames allow mounting accessories such as tactical lights and lasers.
Polymer frame
The durable and lightweight polymer frame absorbs recoil due to the dampening characteristics of the polymer.
Loaded chamber indicator
Visible and palpable indicator as part of the extractor to show whether there is a cartridge in the chamber.
