How 'bout turning your G20 into an 18 round .38 Super? Lone Wolf makes a .38 Super barrel for G20/40 pistols. Rumor has it the standard 10mm magazines work just fine. http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=913325

Just for fun...not everything has to have a practical "mission".
RGK (BOB) will probably have to have a G20 now that it can be a .38 Super. I'm pretty sure the gun industry isn't allowed to make anything in .38 Super without clearing it through Bob first.

Probably more practical from a cost standpoint to convert to 40, assuming a person shoots and keeps 40 on hand for other guns. There is also a 9mm barrel made (but it doesn't show up in the regular catalog) but I have heard mixed reviews about reliability using 9mm ammo in 10mm mags. If I want to shoot 9, I just take a 9 to the range.

Uh hello people, no one said anything about practical. If you want practical just buy a Glock 19...like everyone else on the planet. But some want to do something different just to be different.

well, it's tempting to me. I could never rationalize enough buying a 38super already having .357sig. But i do have a g20, and i could see doing that to play with for sure.

Thanks. I've got quite a bit of 38 Super ammo laying around and currently no gun to fire it in.

The fine print says to use a 13lb. recoil spring and that #3 magazine followers won't work.

The 38 Super is a hard hitting round and IME recoils less than the 10.

Does anyone make a 9x25 barrel for a G20?

Or you can get a 9x25 Dillon and have even a hotter 9MM. Just saying.

The 38 Super is a hard hitting round and IME recoils less than the 10. I like the .38Super quite a bit. Never found the 10 even at Norma original loads to be bad in the G20 (yes, I need another one). If 15 of 10 can't get it done, I am hard pressed to see how 18 of .38Super would. Though, I may still have to get the barrel after acquiring another G20. Hmmm... A long slide Super....

I currently have probably six mags loaded with Privi Partizan 180 grain JHP. It exhibits pretty harsh recoil.

I never found the original Norma 200 grain loads to be that obnoxious. Stiff and snappy, yes, but not obnoxious at all. I much preferred them over 180 .357s or even stout 158 .357s.

So I should be able to fire 10 mm in my g22, right?  Actually been thinking to sell my g22, knowing that I can shoot 40s in my g20 might speed that thought along.

I still have yet to see any 38 super ammo in my locals, I would go with the 357 Sig.
