Been looking at the 10mm cartridge in a Glock 20 for a bit. I've carried various 44 mag, 45 colt, and 357 in various revolvers for woods carry and hiking. I've also carried various 9mm with appropriate ammo.

I found with bigger bore handguns, the recoil precludes an accurate second shot at close range. Plus they weigh 50+ ounces.

I can hit follow up shots well with the 357 and 9mm handguns. I'm thinking a 10mm isnt too much for a quick follow up and still has enough power to work well on big brown inland growlies.

I'm most interested in 'shootability' and rock solid function. A pistol isnt much good if you cant hit with it or it jams.

What viable options exist to the Glock 20 for hiking/woods carry?

Thanks.
