Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Glock 10mm Issues

I've owned a few over the years. 2 9mm' s and a gen 1 G20. All were very reliable. I never cared for the grip angle or the trigger. Always moved on.

The Glock should've been half the price of a new 329.
For most of the forum [bleep] here the Glock is all they could handle, and that is if they put on their big girl panties.

The are lots of ways to make a glock "unreliable", and they usually start with forum stupidity. After market barrels, trigger upgrades, magazine springs, etc. Leave it stock and it will run.

The 10mm is not equal to a 44mag. Perhaps equal to a 357mag. If you don't reload, the cheapest 10mm fodder I've seen is $28/50. The cheapest 44mag is closer to $40/50.

A fully loaded G20 is 40oz. A fully loaded 329 is 31oz.

A lot of dill holes think that 15 shots of 10mm is superior to 6 shots of 44mag when a bear charges. Some of these morons even add up the kinetic energy of 15 rounds to bolster their claims.

Since you don't shoot much (you haven't shot your new G20 before biitching about it), and I doubt you hike much, you'll never appreciate the 329pd. So keep the G20 so you can brag on forums about your 10mm.

When a Glock has problems, it’s beaten like a dead horse…. Anything else, let’s say a M&P or 1911 it’s forgotten about. Then they are in photos with fancy leather holsters, cigars, furs and expensive knives and all is forgiven.

Don’t Glocks have problems shooting rounds with exposed lead bullets?

So true!

Lead yes, hardcast no

No.

Pure lead and hard cast bullets are not the same animal. I have fired literally hundreds of thousands of rounds of hard cast bullets through Glocks since the early 90s, without a single problem, ever.



There are a number articles online about the differences between the two, but suffice to say, it is not an issue at all.

Same here, same here, and same here. Bought one shortly after they hit our shores, not a hiccup since.

Sell the Glock.

Get a Smith and enjoy the quality of craftsmanship.

I'll go $300 shipped on your Glock.
Better take it, they depreciate fast!

😂 yeah i was wondering when the fine gentleman of the fire would offer to take that abomination off your hands.

I hear the Glock 20 is super popular in Alaska among folks who travel in big bear country.

Who did you hear this from? I heard there is a bear guide that prefers a 9mm

Hickok45 says his sources tell him they are popular for that purpose. I've heard others say the same thing.

Hickock45 LMAO.

I like mine. It doesn't miss a stroke.

KKM barrel, RMR sight, tall Trijicon irons to co-witness (not shown in this picture, added later).

Grip work by Luke at Sinner's Mass in San Antonio.

Quite a hammer. Don't bet against it doing its thing.

He strikes you as a liar?

I personally know several people that live and hunt in Alaska, one couple that lives in the bush year round. No roads or electricity and none use a 10mm for bear protection. Heavy 45 Colt and 454 are the most common.
What personal experience does Hickock45 have in Alaska?

Seems you misread my comment.

I've put tens of thousands of rounds through various Glocks with virtually no malfunctions. The few I saw were with new pistols that needed a little more breaking in to be 100%. I've never had a 10mm, but I've shot a lot of .40 in G22's and G23's without any problems. If I wanted a G20 I would buy one without hesitation.

No I read it just fine. The ambitious "my source" which gives no indication of knowledge on the subject
