Police Trade-In Glock G21 Gen4 .45 ACP – Proven Reliability

Trade-in service pistols offer an unbeatable value when you want proven duty performance without the new-gun premium. These frames have seen the job done, and when sorted and graded by a reputable dealer, they make a reliable option for duty, home defense, or range work.

GLOCK G21 Gen4 is a police trade-in full-size .45 ACP pistol built around a 4.61″ barrel with a 13+1 capacity. This Grade 2 example is a semi-auto, striker-fired platform that pairs the well-known Glock ergonomics and durability with the stopping power of .45 ACP.

Why this pistol stands out

The GLOCK G21 Gen4 combines a rugged polymer frame with a simple, reliable striker-fired action—traits that made it a long-term choice for law enforcement. The Gen4 improvements include an interchangeable backstrap system for better grip fit and a rough-textured frame for positive control in varied conditions. As a Grade 2 police trade-in, expect normal service wear: minor scratches, handling marks, and possibly variations in boxes or included accessories.

What Grade 2 means for you

Grade 2 indicates a used service firearm with expected cosmetic wear but fully functional components as inspected by the seller. The listing notes that the pistols have not been test-fired by the vendor; unless otherwise stated, they are sold as functional. Photos are representative of the current batch, so the exact bore appearance, accessories, or case may vary.

Caliber and application

.45 ACP remains a trusted defensive round for its balance of penetration and energy transfer in larger-diameter projectiles. The G21 platform gives you the .45 performance in a full-size frame that’s controllable thanks to the Gen4 grip options and Glock’s consistent trigger pull characteristics. Use this configuration for duty, competition where permitted, or a dedicated home-defense pistol paired with quality defensive ammunition.
