Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Glock 10mm

I went with the Glock 20 and love it. Def limited here in regards to newer handguns

I shot a bunch of my Poly-Coat 40+P loads through my Gen 5 G20. The gun gobbled them up.



The Gen5 G20 is a solid gun.

I have a G20, I believe it’s Gen 3. Mine is very accurate. They are big and heavy. Nothing bad to say about it; I like it, a lot. But it is a big, heavy gun. You should be sure to handle one before buying. I have big hands and the grip still feels phat to me.

I have a G20.4
Very accurate with OEM barrel
I don't think it's much bigger than a G17

I put a KKM barrel on my Glock 40.

I have a 6" KKM 10 MM barrel I used on a gen 3 Glock. does anyone know if it would fit a Gen 5?

I carried a mag of this stuff when I was and armed guard in a bank. (team never quit ammunition).

Those and a mag of hard cast check a lot of boxes.

I went through the same review about 4-5 years ago and ended up with a G20. It shoots Buffalo Bore and Underwood 200's reasonably well, carries well in my HPG, and is very shootable. I like the G20 alot.

I toyed with the idea of G40 a time or 3 but when I want serious firepower I pull out the Ruger Hawgleg (480 R) or the baby Hawgleg (45 colt w/warm loads). I'm more accurate with either Ruger at 50 yards than I am the G20 - but I didn't buy the G20 for 50 yards shooting, more like 50 inches when it matters.

Got this one four or five years ago to pack around at the Campfire hog hunts. Cabelas had the Gen 3 on sale and I had enough points to get it free.

Pretty much paid the original cost by upgrades. Put on some tritium Trijicons a Zev trigger and a KKM barrel. Had some frame and slide alterations then cerakote. I like how it came out.

Have never owned a Glock....

What have I missed ?

Never have had any issues with my XD-M's

Let the flames begin

The main advantages of a Glock vs something like the XD is that it's a dream to strip down to the last part and reassemble, unlike the XD. Also, therefore, replacing parts is that simple, too, and there's tons of aftermarket support for Glocks. Not nearly so much for the XD. They are likely about equally reliable and robust, though.

I can not imagine any thing easier than a SA XD M Elite to pull down to clean

I can do it in the dark with a blind fold

Pic......45 ACP

Well…an XD sure has a way of making a Glock look pretty by comparison.

There's no denying that the XD is more complex, and the XDM even more so. But I think it's worth it. I never shot any Glock as well as I do the XDME.

Had a gen 3 SF. Liked it. Wanted a threaded barrel so I figured I’d pick up a G21 and convert it to 10mm and have a 45 too. You can pick up a used g21 pretty cheap and convert to 10mm for ~$150.


I purchased a Gen 5 21 and really like it. Unfortunately they changed the Gen 5 enough the aftermarket barrels don’t fit and converting to 10mm isn’t currently possible. Guess I’ll have to buy another gen 3 or 4 so I can use my suppressor when it gets out of jail. Or hopefully someone will offer a threaded barrel option

I started with the above gun with the 4.6" barrel and had enough issues it got sent back to the mothership. Mag drops while cycling the ammo and failure to feed were on again, off again problems. It shot really well when I got it back for about 5 rounds then started its acting up again. The tall cowitnessing iron sights weren't for me either.

Traded it for a new Glock 20sf gen 3 and life is good.

JLimbo, that's nicely done!

I was dissatisfied with the 20 even after changing the front sight and connector. Bought the M&P and tried to sell the Glock. Then I realized it's just as good, maybe better than the new kid. Heavier, but softer shooter. Trigger not so bad after all the dry firing. Maybe more reliable, but I got confused shooting so much 40 ammo. Glock don't care but M&P does often enough. This isn't even an academic problem if you just shoot the proper ammo. I'd rather shoot hot stuff in the Glock for sure even if the Smith is slightly more accurate with current sights, and is more tolerant of the hard cast stuff, which I don't believe in to begin with. But many do.

I carried a G20 and one in the SF configuration daily for several years every where. The G20 was the first gun I carried when I got my concealed weapons permit. I had no problem carrying it in an IWB. I used silver tips when I carried every day and 200 gr hard cast in the woods. It worked well on pigs and deer and luckily I never had to shoot someone in self defense (knock on wood).

We are actually planning on shooting some 10mm at steel this weekend if we brave the heat.

My glock is a model 20 gen 4. I have the kkm barrel (both 10mm and 40sw...found out I probably didn't need the 40sw barrel from others experiences...but had already ordered it and will use it as needed), the original factory barrel shot fine but I wanted confidence with reloads and didn't want to worry about the factory polygonal rifling warning. I also bought some trijicon sites and had them installed for three dot woods walking/site picture in the shade.

It's a good pistol, no issues with 500 rounds thus far. I'd purchase again if I ever lost it.

I also have a 10mm/40mm Blackhawk - wildly different platform - very fun to shoot.

YMMV,

John
