Naaahhh.I never give up my 1911's.I also have G21's and G41's in the stable.
I added one of these Ruger LC's to stable,it complements my .45acp lineup well.
Havent shot it yet,need to get a sight for it.I did get a couple of kriss 30 mag conversions for it.
Should be fun,i'll update once ive put mine thru its paces a few times.

Ive owned Kriss Carbine in the past,It ran like krap.It went away but i did keep the Kriss 30rd Mags (converted G21 Mags) They run great in my G21/41's.The conversion kits are spendy but do work well
if your wanting HiCap .45acp mags.Thumbs up on the conversion mag kits.

I liked the lc carbine but didn’t want to add another caliber to the mix. I love me some 45 so this could be a fun shooter. Guess I better start looking for one!

Good to know. Thanks.
Yeah, that's a pricy option, but I don't know if there are many other 25-30 round G21 mags available. I see that the mag Ruger provides is a SGM, and they have a 26-round at MSRP $30. Not sure of their reliability, though.

I have two SGM 26rd mags ive used on my .45 Glocks,one works reliably the other is finicky.Staying with the Kriss Conversion option cause finicky failure is not an option.

I think It'll be interesting to see if this model sells well, and subsequent aftermarket developments happen.

BTW, anyone know what the serrated ramp of the extractor is about?:

ETS makes a 30 round mag for the Glock 21. I have one but have not tried it. The 9mm ETS mags have worked ok.
