my 2 cents

I was a gun dealer for several years as a pawnbroker. The choice I made for myself was Glock 20 with extended mags.

My holster holds an extra mag, so with 2 ultra high cap mags, one in the pipe, and one extra in the grip hole, I am moving about with 38 rounds of magnum firepower.

I don't keep a sidearm to impress the guys at the sporting clubs, I keep a sidearm to protect myself and my family.

I like your style.

I've leaned toward the 1911 side of the equation. While I own a couple of stock Delta Elites, my carry is a Kimber Eclipse 10MM, which is better setup for carry than the stock DE.

Having said that the G20 has always been a draw due to its capacity. The problem has been that the grip was too big to point naturally for me. So I've decided to give the G20 a new chance at being a carry gun by sending it to Cold Bore Customs to have the grip reduced. I'm hoping for the best, but the evaluation of the pistol when it gets back will be the deciding factor.

Good luck with your G20, SC

I own two delta's . Love them a lot. I own zero glock 20's , but would like one for a carry gun in rural areas and when out boating. The glock is lower maintainance and likely is not anyones show piece. The 1911 is my favorite platform, so I would stay with that choice for me off the top. I dont think either gun would serve you poorly or be a bad choice. Sounds like you got the glock due to money. That is not a bad choice.

I have two Deltas: 1-blued & 1-SS. I also have the G20SF (Still Fat).

The Glock wouldn't be a bad deal if the damn fat grip wouldn't twist out of my hands, especially at faster firing paces. If Glock were to make these 10mm and .45ACPs with single stack mags, they might just have a little something.

Anyway, the SW 610 would still be the best 10mm handgun following by the Ruger Convertible that was made for only one year.

I wouldn't mind getting a Smith M610 at some point.

I'm just much more into the old blued Smiths.

I shot one of those that time when you and I and Proguncali met in San Jose at the indoor range. It was a nice wheelie, but I kept thinking why 6 rounds of 10mm when you could carry 15+1 in a lighter package. Or 8+1 in a 1911 which is every bit as accurate as the revolver.

I hear you. My G20 is in transit to Cold Bore Customs. His extreme reduction looks to me like the best solution to the oversized G20 frame that I have yet to see.

I want this pistol to work better for me. Just the stats on paper make the G20 pretty attractive. If it turns out sweeter than honey on a nipple maybe it'll entice you get up this way shooting again some time.
