Not a Glock fanatic, so I really don't know the details of the Gen changes.
I just want to know if Gen 2 was too early in the improvement timeline to truly handle 10mm.
Thanks all!

It will handle all factory loads just fine.

Mine left huge bulges on the brass with the factory barrel with anything above a 180 @ 1100fps. I swapped in an after market barrel.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

I had one, I accidentally shot 400 grains of XTPs out the barrel (200x2). Never hurt it.

Way back when, colder than hell, I went to test some hand loads. I had earplugs and ear muffs on. I guess I loaded it and got distracted by a bitch’n exwife that had just got home.
I shot, nothing happened, racked the slide and fired again. I thought that had a little more recoil than normal. The paper target had two holes in it..... and that’s about it

Just make sure the barrel has a fully supported chamber … Plenty of aftermarket barrels out there for the Glock 20 .

I put a KKM in mine, and have shot a lot of Underwood, and handloaded hard cast.

+1 for KKM barrels, if you are going to put an aftermarket barrel in a Glock....

If I'd have to buy something like the KKM barrel to shoot hot 10mm, seems like I'd be better off converting a G21 and having both calibers as an option...

That’s a great option. Only thing different is the barrel and the magazines.

as a slow learner and very poor pistol shot, I have found that a slightly more than book maximum of AA #9 with a 200 grain bullet has not bulged the case with a gen 4 glock 20. If I found a gen 2 for $300, I guess the barrel upgrade would be reasonable, or maybe just buy a new gen 4 gun. I know lone wolf barrels had been unsupported chambers just like the glock barrels, not sure on a kkm.

KKM advertises as "fully supported SAAMI spec. match chambers".

Back in the day before I bought my G20 frame ( green ) ,that is exactly what I did … however , I purchased an entire factory Glock upper with matched factory barrel and slide , not just the barrel & magazine . Bought the Barsto's after the fact … I do like the factory Glock barrels with moderate plated / jacketed loads .

No Gen1 Glock 20's were made.
They started production with Gen2's.
