Title: Glock discontinuing full size Gen 3 20/21
Post by: DAVIDF on December 16 2013 12:05:24 PM MST
Looks like rumours are true that Glock is discontinuing their full size framed Glock 20/21 Gen3. I gave them a call this afternoon & a rep confirmed that the regular (full size) frames are going away. They will be continuing production of Gen 4's & SF Gen 3's. I called because I eventually want to buy a 2nd Gen 3 20 as my wife & I both like ours better than our other pistols. The Glock rep said I better buy now!

Hopefully it's because the sf works better with the LS..... which is what the G42 is- An sf frame longlslide

No??  Too bad  :(

Glock has a lot of great options but no matter how much I try I can't bring myself to like them. I'd grab one of the 20's if I could like the feel of the grip.

While the feel of Glocks doesn't bother me, there are a lot of folks that reshape, stiple, or install beaver tails to improve their feel.

The grip is one of the reasons why my wife & I love our Gen 3 20. It is the best grip for us of any pistol either of us have ever handled. However, we are in the minority & that is why they are discontinuing the full size framed gen 3 20. The SF model will still be around.

My gen. 3 Glock 20SF is a keeper.

I had a G20, (gen. 2) a few years ago, but found the grip to be a little too big for my hands...The 1/4" less front-to-back length of the (gen. 3) "SF" version makes a big difference in fit.

I have the OD green gen 3 and it has always been on the large size for my hands. Considered trading it in for a SF version that came out much later but just cant do it. Have too many upgrades installed on the damn thing. Will just have to live with it. My 29 I picked up in 2010 is SF.

I have the 20sf and the 29sf - love them both but did put the adapters on the 15rd clips to give me the full grip of the 20sf on the 29sf and love them. Now I can hang on to the 29sf shooting the hot and hotter loads now(I also have the LW 4.? - 2 port barrel in the 29sf to help out) perfect.

Sounds pretty great. I ended up getting the Pearce grip extension for my  G29 10 rounders. What brand made that grip adapter you use for the 15 rd mags?

I have the Pierce finger tips also on the 10 rd clips - but for full house the A&G Grip Extenders for 29 for 15rd clips or as the back says Glock Magazine Sleeve Part #T0364-C
