  GLOCK 21 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a large frame GLOCK based on the GLOCK 20 and fires the.45 ACP ammunition.
It uses a modified GLOCK 20 frame,.45 ACP barrel, modified slide and magazine but these difference are quite minor and it does look identical to a GLOCK 20.
The difference between the GLOCK 21 and the GLOCK 21C is that the barrel and slide are compensated on the C model to reduce muzzle climb while shooting the pistol.

 GLOCK 37 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a GLOCK 17 modified to fire the.45 GAP ammunition.
The.45 GAP ammunition was designed by GLOCK, it has nearly the same performance as the.45 ACP ammuntion but is short enough to fit into smaller framed pistols.
The GLOCK 37 first appeared in 2003, it is mainly available in the U.S. It was designed for law enforcement and self-defense use where its large caliber offers superior single shot stopping power, while avoiding the large frame size problems of the GLOCK 21.

 11-01-01 Glock 21 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Glocks are neither single action or double action, They are marketed as "Safe Action" pistols.
What this means is after each round the firing pin is put under partial tension(half cocked), to actuate it (make it fire) you pull the trigger which has a small safety lever in line in the middle of it.
Glock offers models in all sizes and calibers but for general use and home defense, this is an excellent choice.

Glock and his designers decided to combine the use of polymer and steel in building this new pistol in order to keep the weight of the pistol well below conventional levels.
Glock also used a different ignition system than is generally found on conventional handguns.
As the trigger is squeezed during the firing mode, the little safety lever in the face of the trigger is activated, the cocking mode is completed, and the pistol is fired.

The Glock 21 (alpha-prefix "AFN") my nephew was using is about eleven-years-old but has seen very little usage, and I keep all of my weapons immaculate.
While the alpha-prefix is consistent with a Model 21 of the age indicated, and is definitely post-six-part upgrade, it may not have had the slide modification unique to the Models 21 for which the AFN-series is eligible.

 Glock’s New Model 37 .45 G.A.P.
The thickness and height of the slides of the models 21 and 37 are the same, but the model 37 slide is a bit shorter, and is beveled at the front for easier holstering and improved smoothness compared to the model 21.
It should be welcomed by law enforcement agencies who desire a big-bore cartridge, but find that the model 21 grip is too large to fit the hands of some officers on their force.
Glock is one of a very few handguns that I would trust to work in extreme conditions.

 Glock 21 vs SIG-Sauer P-220 - THR
I've got a Glock 21 myself but have yet to try the P-220, although i've heard alot of good things about it, and so am considering purchasing one.
I prefer the Glock's lower bore axis; higher mag capacity; simplicity of changing trigger pull, etc., but the 220 is a nice pistol.
The Glock has a much lower bore axis which helps in recoil but my SIG was an extremly soft shooter, even with +P loads.
