The same reason people buy the Prius...

Can't say I would disagree with that...Some want cheaper others buy expensive. But the main drive is LE contracts. Also remember that LE has a duty to act, by that I mean, they serve and protect. In saying that they really don't want to kill the perp if they can bring them to justice. Any missed shots (property damage) or innocent people (injured or killed) will bring about lawsuits and are bad for public relations of a department! Also LE work in close proxsimity to each other (CQB so to speak) and they don't want to hit each other.

With all that said, many departments are using 40S&W & 9mm with many returning back to 9mm guns and many are carring tazers as well.

This is why we don't see any 10mm guns being developed.:crying:

People liking the 10mm may find the needs for the for it to cover a wider range of circumstances, distance, heavier cover, hunting and self defense needs, even though the 10mm enthusast are alive and well, searching for the next great modern featured 10mm semiauto guns.
Examples like;
M&P 10mm
10mm XD
EAA 10mm (if they get their quality control better)
SAR 10mm (if they ever import those)
Taurus 10mm
VLTOR Bren Ten (revised)( but they dropped the ball)

With all that said Glock is the only mass produced, work very well, rugged, reliable and reasonably priced hand guns chambered in our farorite cartridge. Yes there are the 1911 styled guns which I consider custom guns (since Colt dropped their DE's) and their pricing reflects custom guns! :wow: With today's modern CNC machines they should more reasonably priced. I think this is why I like the Fusion line, if I were to get the 1911 style.

Meanwhile as I wait for my next 10mm gun, I'll just continue to enjoy the S&W10xx series guns and the Glock 29 to satify my needs! :supergrin:

 

Colt still makes the Delta Elite.

Quite simply, in regards to Glock in 10mm...I can afford it and I trust it.

The same reason people buy the Prius...

The main reason I bought Prius is performance. LOL. LOL

Actually, I bought them (2) because of the Continuously variable Xmission and the immediate power when you press the pedal. Good gas mileage is just nice, but not the driver. Over 150k miles and strong as ever.

Similarly, Glock is lighter than 10xx, easy to clean, reliable, durable enough. Not costing half of my bank account is nice, but not the driver.

Just want to illustrate that decision to buy is fragmented, in general.

+1 erfect10: Best in my book

 

I only own two Glocks now the G19 and G20 but have owned others in the past. I like the G19 because it is my favorite sized Glock and feels the best in hand. It's easy to carry but still provides high capacity. I have the G20SF because it is fun to shoot. I hand load all of my ammo so the cost of 10mm is not much more expensive and in some cases less expensive than anything else I load. I'm keeping a look out for a good S&W 10 series too.

Sure, 9mm is a great round for self defense and is really not that much different than a 40 or 45. I usually carry a 9mm as they weigh less than my G20 or 29 and hold more bullets. I can also get more rounds on target.

However, that is where the 9mm stops. The 9mm is simply self-defense caliber and nothing more. The 10mm is much more versatile. You can load it with 135gr pills all the way up to 200gr or more. It's excellent for deer and boar.

I would NEVER take a 9mm as a trail gun or hunting sidearm. I guarantee that a 9mm makes a terrible hunting gun, while the 10mm can compete with 357Mag revolvers.

I remember a guy about a year ago claiming that the 9mm is perfectly adequate for bear defense as long as you dump the mag. Right... The 10mm is the MINIMUM I'd want to carry when going into bear territory.

There is a lot of good load data . It can be loaded light or heavy and hot or mild it is a great cartridge and keeps getting better. I love my gen 3 g20 so much I bought another and have not touched my .45 since.

 

I've had my g20 gen3 since Feb of this year. Although ammo is not available locally, there are countless on line providers and the prices are equalizing out with other popular calibers. The varieties of load size and velocity are countless.
Reloading will be my next step to increase the experience with this platform. I read the 10 ring without fail for my enjoyment of further learning from the gurus posting there.
The g20 feeds and fires all types of ammo from wild to mild and is a hoot to shoot!:

 

Curious to know what type of pocket holster you're using for the G29 ? I've considered it with cargo pants

AHolster makes a great kydex pocket holster for the 29. Have a good tight belt however.

 

I have no warm feelings for my G20, really. It's just another 10 on the shelf. The G29, though, is for some reason a gun I feel is exceptional. If I didn't own one, I'd think it was a lame attempt to make something too small and compact for the job it has to do. Owning one, I feel it is a marvel.

I think maybe I have just gotten to the point where I have no fondness for any handgun that I don't feel I would carry--or at least would want to carry.

Other than all that, I feel I owe Glock $600 just to repay them for their commitment to producing a 10mm. In fact, I feel this burning need to send my money to anyone that produces a 10. I think I'll write out that check to Fusion right now...

Just go ahead and send me that G20 ... I'll give her some lovin' And I agree, go ahead and write out that check to Fusion. You will be a better man for it.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Over the last 10-12 years, I have bought and sold 2 G20s, 3 different S&W 10xx series, 2 610s, and one 3rd gen G29. I was never truly satisfied with any of them (well, maybe I really wish I still had my 6.5" 610) until I bought a G29sf. The "SF" frame made all the difference for my hands. I now have 2 G29sf pistols...they are my only 10mms. I've even got my eye open for another SF/4th Gen.

 

I only own two Glocks now the G19 and G20 but have owned others in the past. I like the G19 because it is my favorite sized Glock and feels the best in hand. It's easy to carry but still provides high capacity. I have the G20SF because it is fun to shoot. I hand load all of my ammo so the cost of 10mm is not much more expensive and in some cases less expensive than anything else I load. I'm keeping a look out for a good S&W 10 series too.

The G19 is also the Glock that feels best in my hand. I also shoot it more accurately than any other. This is why I have some to appreciate the G29sf so much. To me, it carries and points very similarly to the G19 -- that can even share many holsters.

:tongueout:

During training back around early 1990-ish, we were shown a dashcam vid...
it showed a man on his front porch engauging LEO's with a pistol,
the man was hit 19 times by 9mm rounds, including Two headshots...
(those two shots removed brain matter & placed it on the wall behind him)
yet he kept on firing until his ammo was depleted,
then threw the pistol at LEO's,
and whipped out a knife and Charged them...at which time a smart officer
brought out a 12-gauge and nailed him with two blasts,
finalizing him next to the squad cars.

Moral of the story?
9mm was created to replace .38spl, and has very similar ballistic properties.
With all the Good and Bad of that particular round...
And sometimes a 350 pound crackhead is going to shrug off the tiny 9mm you shoot at him...

While 10mm has its own foiliables,
I'll take those issues over 9mm's weakness any day.

Slap a Lone Wolf long barrel & Longslide on the 20
& go Hunting with it...makes the world a different place for that pistol
:nsb::nsb::nsb:

 

Own a G 20 10mm Great for Hunting
G 29 great to carry

10mm vs 4 legs good
10mm vs 2 legs dead and down

My G20 is dual purpose!

 

My G20 is dual purpose!

My g20 has many purposes, 9mm, 357sig, 40s&w and 10mm.

 

I love mine and have had more fun with it than with my gf

 

I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed. But my question is this:
Can I convert a G20 into a .357SIG or .40S&W by simply installing a conversion barrel for that particular caliber (i.e., Lone Wolf)? Will the G20 mags accommodate .357SIG and .40S&W rounds? Is anything else required other than the conversion bbl.?

Thanks,
AK

 

Have a number of 1911 by various semi-custom makers. Have 6 or so pocket pistols and a P200sk ........ect., ect. Although I've got to say I like 'em all for one reason or another. My g3 Glock 29 is pretty doggone sweet . Some people say it's a little too snappy on the recoil but my wife loves it too.
