Nope. .40s out of the 20 work just fine.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I run a lot of 40's in the G20 with a conversion barrel. Have run a few in the factory barrel just to see and it worked fine, but I can't speak to long term.

Since we are talking 10s....what is everyone using for loads?

I've been impressed with PMC Bronze 170gr. JHPs. The deer above was taken with that load. It's only standard velocity but accuracy has been fantastic from my gun.
I like Winchester 175gr. Silvertips too, when I can find them.

RDW--Are you shooting 40s out of the 10 barrel? How does it headspace if so?

I believe the design is to headspace off the case mouth. Since the extractor holds the case against the breech face, I decided to give it a shot, it worked fine.
There are a number of threads and other articles on shooting the 40 out of the 10, I would suggest others research and decide if they want to do the same.
In my opinion, since the extractor holds the case against the breech face it really does not headspace on the case mouth and the space between case mouth and lands is freebore.

Yup, I do it frequently. I've posted about this at length in the past on other forums; it's fine in a Glock 20 or 29, but not a good idea in other types of pistols, like the 1911, Witness, etc. The difference is in the amount the firing pin protrudes past the breech, and the possibility of the round jumping in front of the extractor. On a 1911, the firing pin will still set off that round, resulting in some unnerving "pressure signs" on the fired case. On a Glock, the striker won't reach a round in front of the extractor, so it either works safely, or not at all. Along with that though, I've never had a round jump in front of the extractor on a Glock 20, but have experienced it with 1911 and Witness pistols. I also use 40 S&W brass for some 10mm loads, if the bullets are long enough (180gr+ for the most part). Pressure is actually reduced compared to the same loads in 10mm brass, because of the reduced neck tension.

I used to be a 1911/45 or nothing guy but that changed with the 20SF and Gen 4 allowing me to get my stubs around the 2x4 grip. It's nice to have the 10mm short option without a second barrel. I would not mind playing with the 9x25 but I don't like chasing my 10mm brass much less unobotanium stuff.
The G20 barrel options made it an easy choice for me and I will keep an eye out for a Nightguard too.

I'll vote for the Delta. I have a 20 and a Delta but I prefer the Delta.
