I'm thinking about getting a 10mm Glock to add to my collection. I read the description on the Glock website not much help. Where does the short frame show up? and what's compensated? Is the "C" model ported? The "C" model is no longer being made, but there's new old stock available. I live in the Calif. nation so I can't buy the 4's and 5's. The "SF", and "C" models are on the Calif. roster. What's the difference between these two pistols? This won't be a carry gun, range, and HD. Thanks GT

The GLOCK 20C has two cuts in the slide and barrel that allow gasses to escape, which helps tame recoil. It uses the standard size G20 Gen 3 frame. The G20SF has a short frame, which compared to the standard frame, reduces the distances from the back of the slide to the face of the trigger by approximately 0.08”.

The C model will be slightly softer shooting, but you’ll have a little more work to do when it comes to cleaning the gun, as you’ll have more carbon buildup from the gasses escaping through the cutouts. I’d rather get a threaded barrel and better comp than buy a 20C, if using a comp were something that interested me.
The advantage of the SF model is the slightly smaller grip size, so it’s easier to reach the trigger. Since I run my Gen 4 large frame guns with a backstrap, the smaller frame size isn’t much of an advantage for me.
The guns are basically the same other than the differences I mentioned.
