Any Model 21 Experts?

I have never been much interested in 21's because they look a little clunky to me personally, and they seem really expensive generally, so I don't know if I will keep this gun or not. I bought it VERY right. Now if it had been a 16 or a 20, there might be a different story!

I believe that to be correct. Actually I think that style of latch is really cool and I have never had an issue with them. I have owned 2 of them over the years I think. Never shot either one of those a lot though.
