I am looking at adding a 10mm G20.
I love the .40 caliber Glocks that I have and also loving on the gen 4 RSA vs. the gen 3 version of same. It may result in just buying a gen 4 or perhaps even building one from an 80% gen 3 frame I have. I've built 80% before in Glock and 1911 and they have all turned out to function feed and extract great and also have wonderful accuracy.
My use for the G20 will be somewhat limited with the probability of low round count through it annually. It will used more so for adventures in the areas where black bears and some grizzlies live. I would be shooting it enough to become familiar with it but again the annual round count would most likely be under 500 rounds. To build a 1911 in 10mm would take around 3 months for my schedule with all the fitting and polishing and blood donation while a Glock 20 could be put together in about 3-4 hours.
I will be running Underwood 200g through it almost exclusively and my own hot reloads that will produce velocities and pressures very similar to the Underwood rounds. I have other shooters that fill the needs for shooting a lot and I see the 10mm, for me, to be only a consumer of hot rounds.
If I could find a Glock 80% in a gen 4 large frame it would be an easy decision, but I'm not aware of those out there to be found. Most of those 80% are in gen 3.
QUESTION: Considering the intended ammo to be used would there be concerns between selecting a G20 in gen 3 vs, a gen 4 in this situation ???
