The Glock 20 is what got me into reloading. Loading your own is a great way to exploit the versatility of the cartridge. I have loaded weights from 135 gr to 209 gr. Jacketed, plated, lubed lead, and coated lead. Since 2016 most of my ammon is loaded with my cast and coated bullets. Mild to wild.

So, yeah, it's pretty darn great with reloads.

It does chuck brass a ways. But I just walk a little farther to pickup my brass. A heavier recoil spring helped a little, but it just made the gun less reliable.
 
@Borg Warner 's post inspired me to post a little about my favorites powders. I have loaded 13-14 different powders into 10mm cases. Accurate No. 9 stands above all others in weights from 150 and above.

For modest "FBI" loads, WSF, Unique and Silhouette work great.

For in between, Blue Dot is you want good groups, flash and bark. No. 7 for a more civilized experience. Longshot fills that bill too and is more efficient.
 
I'm pretty much where you're at- #9 or VihtaVouri N105 for the hot loads, Silhouette and Longshot for lighter loads. Truth be told, I rarely load the lighter stuff anymore.
But I never did like Blue Dot- muzzle flash just never did it for me.
Blue Dot is a bit rough around the edges. No doubt. What I like is that it flat works with a lot of bullet weights and load data is plentiful.
