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.

 

[Rigormootis]

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.

typical forum fanboys who do not realize the 9mm is a more than adequate round.

shot placement. period.
: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

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

 

[crsuribe]

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

 

[Arnold Kuhl]

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

 

[DeltaSteve]

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.

Yes swapping out to the conversion barrel is all that is needed for 40S&W, 357Sig and 9x25Dillon. The appropriate cartridges will feed from the G-20 magazines. :supergrin:

Some people have shot the 40S&W from the 10mm barrels without ill affects. I prefer to use the conversion barrel because the casing headspaces on the case mouth and not the extractor. Also the longer free chamber can cause the shorter 40S&W bullet to shave off material as it makes the jump from the shorter casing across the end of the chamber cut of a 10mm barrel. :whistling:

Very good point. I think that it's unfortunate that many shooters don't seem to have a firm grasp of the concept of "headspace." Over the years, and doing reloading for more than 20 years, I've developed an appreciation for headspace.

I personally would never shoot a .40S&W cartridge out of a 10mm gun, without using a converstion bbl. But as you point out, many folks do without ill effect. But I insist on correct headspacing, for the sake of accuracy, but mainly for the sake of safety.

This 9x25 Dillon thing has got me interested. I'm guessing it's kind of a wildcat type of caliber, which may bear some further research on my part. But first, I have to get my hands on a new Gen4 G20, which are quite scarce right now.

Arnold There is some 9x25 info and data here on GT; http://www.glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228796

And also some stuff on the 10mmFirearms forum, http://10mm-firearms.com/index.php

The barrels at 6" are much better for bringing out the the true potential of the 9x25Dillon
The Dillon Dies are on the expensive side but well worth the money to form and size your brass and it has a seater die and crimp die in the set but there is no neck expander die, I use the 9mm or 357Sig expander for this operation.
Best regards!
