What is the SF on Glock Models?   Short Frame ?  Please enlighten me. 

I'm not sure of the exact terminology the factory had in mind, but the term slim frame comes to mind pretty descriptively. The SF models have a thinner grip. It was first brought out in the Glock 21 which a lot of people with small hands had trouble with because of it's large, thick grip frame. The SF was thinner in the grip area in hoping to correct this problem, making the pistol appeal to more shooters.   Bill T.

Ok that is helpful, I only had a sip of the kool-aid, been thinking about buying a Glock 20.

billt is correct the 21SF designation is for a "slimmer frame" than the standard 21, which I own, and affectionately call the the railroad tie with a grip.

Previous generations of "G" guns had no grip adjustments...it was as it is...

Now it seems they jumped on the M+P bandwagon, of which I also own,....and went small, med, large....

All is good, keep the price of 10mm in perspective if you plan on shooting alot.

If it's not an issue, I believe m25 also has a G20.

Not sure about the G20 SF, but if they make a Gen4 G20, the smallest grip configuration will be the same size as an SF grip.

I'd rather have the gen 3 than the gen 4.  The interchangable grips are to "Chinese trinkety" IMO.

I'm with Badger here. I think Glock is screwing up by putting on bells and whistles and adjustable grips and finger grooves and the like. Look, what made a Glock a Glock was not its ergonomics. That wasn't even a selling point. It sold on four criteria:
It held a lot of bullets
It always went bang
It was idiot proof
They were completly interchangeable as far as mags in same caliber went.
And it did all four of these things a a reasonable price.
The whole adjustability thing seems to add unecessary expense and under cut the whole "idiot proof" because there is nothing to screw up selling point. Not to mention interchangeability for department sales. If you want a gun you can mess with get an M@P or a 1911. If you want to open the box and shoot it, and clean it twice a year, get a Glock.

Speaking of $5 off, for any of you Glockaholics out there. Midway has 17 round Glock 9 MM magazines, as well as the original factory Glock 33 rounders on sale. $22.49 for the 17 round, and $31.99 for the 33 rounder. They have a limit of 2 per customer for the 33 rounder, but that is as good of a price as I've ever seen on original Glock 33 round magazines. It is cheaper than what Cabela's charges for the 33 round Korean knock off models. Lenny Magill over at The Glock Store charges $49.95 for the same magazine.

It's all over the news Hussein is planning some sweeping gun control measures. Maybe he will, or maybe he won't. The point is even if he's just bluffing, it will send people into much the same frenzy it did after he was elected. If he bans Hi-Cap magazines by Executive order, which he could, these will be gone forever. It's a chance to pick up a couple of original Glock Hi-Caps for little more than a tank of gas. If you're worried about shipping, these are small and light enough to go USPS Priority Mail direct to your mailbox cheaper than UPS. I've got 2 of each on the way. They should be here Monday.  Bill T.
