Very practical. Just know your ammo. If you're worried about over penetration use 135 gr. bullets. Double tap also makes a round that fires a 135 gr hollowpoint over a 90 gr. ball.1. How practical is it? In terms of home defense-over penetration, distance, etc.
Not often as ammo is high.2. How often do you take to the range?
Whatever is cheapest for practice. Double tap for home defence/carry. Dont reload...yet.3. What 10mm ammo brand do you use? Do you reload?
It's as much power as you can reasonably get into an automatic pistol [aside from .40 super] So I chose it for home defence as well as concealed carry.4. What would be your main purpose in owning a 10mm Glock?
Best gun Glock makes imo.Thinking about my next purchase, but want to hear GlockTalkers thought on this model.
......1. How practical is it? In terms of home defense-over penetration, distance, etc.
Practical? I would much rather overpenetrade and have a hole in the wall but a dead assailant, than shoot them with a .45 and have it bounce off.
2. How often do you take to the range?
I put a few mags thru it weekly most weeks, you can never have enough practice, and I have some leeway at work and shoot on my lunch breaks sometimes.
3. What 10mm ammo brand do you use? Do you reload?
I don't think I've shot factory ammo in over a year, yes I reload, a lot!
4. What would be your main purpose in owning a 10mm Glock?
Make neat little holes in the front of things, and big giant holes on the other side. I'm gonna try my damndest to get a deer this year with mine, almost got a coyote last year but even with how flat shooting it is I did'nt have the skill required to make a 200 yard shot with it.

Thanks!!!

Versatile round for hunting, self-defense, and flat shooting for target. I'd say pretty practical. HD? Especially with Doubletap Equalizer rounds :-D
2. How often do you take to the range?
How often do I shoot it? Got a 22lr kit for it so its guaranteed use every trip to the range.
3. What 10mm ammo brand do you use? Do you reload?
Reloads from the Gun shows, HSM, I want to get into reloading ASAP.
4. What would be your main purpose in owning a 10mm Glock?
Wanted a reliable big bore pistol that was easy to shoot and high capacity magazines. The 20sf fit that to the bill. The 21sf works too, but I like the recoil pulse on the 10mm and the modular ability to switch down to 40 or 357sig with a simple change of a barrel.

None of us are gonna say anything bad about the glock 20 and the 10mm. We're glocktalkers. :supergrin: I always wonder about people who complain about shooting 10mm being too expensive... SHOOTING in general is expensive.
Thanks!!!
It's practical. If you don't mind the hugeness of the grip it's not a bad pistol.1. How practical is it? In terms of home defense-over penetration, distance, etc.
Seldom. I took mine a week or so ago since I had some 10mm ammo I hadn't burnt up. Recoil is not an issue, it shoots easily even with warm loads.2. How often do you take to the range?
Reload. I have shot DT, but I didn't get very close to advertised velocity out of my G20. Brass is expensive and unless you can find a lot of it for free (like .40 S&W), then it becomes somewhat of an issue.3. What 10mm ammo brand do you use? Do you reload?
Being able to throw the same weight bullet maybe 150 fps faster. When the .40 can go 200 fps faster than factory .40 ammo, adding an additional 150 fps could compromise performance somewhat, depending on bullet used. I can get plenty good enough performance out of the .40 while getting loads of brass initially free. I've debated getting rid of the G20, but it's long since paid for and generally getting rid of a gun is something most will regret at some point down the road.4. What would be your main purpose in owning a 10mm Glock?
The 10mm is a good cartridge. Way too over-hyped on this board, but still good. It's got an edge over the .40, but it isn't huge. I personally think it shines brightest with heavy weight bullets. If you can afford it, it's not bad, not great, but not bad. I like mine but if I had to get rid of it I wouldn't lose any sleep. I'm fine as is with the .40 and .45 and the way I see it, is that if either one of those don't get the job done, neither will the 10mm.Thinking about my next purchase, but want to hear GlockTalkers thought on this model.
Thanks!!!
I love the G20...every time I take it to the range people want to shoot it thinking it will be a recoil monster, but then they are amazed at how manageable it is. Even new shooters have gotten good groups with it. It is fairly reliable but does require a firmer grip than a europellet, for sure. If you do not grip it firmly it will sometimes fail to return to battery. If I am firing slowly this never happens, but when I am ripping through a fast drill I have done it once or twice - in fact the other night I had an FTF at the end of the night which I believe was related to fatigue.1. How practical is it? In terms of home defense-over penetration, distance, etc.
Never shot anything inside my house, but I love my 20. It is comfortable to shoot but I do have big hands.
2. How often do you take to the range?
Once every couple of weeks, generally burn 200-300 rounds.
3. What 10mm ammo brand do you use? Do you reload?
If I shot it, I made it first. I mostly shoot copper plated 180 grain bullets, because they're cheap.
4. What would be your main purpose in owning a 10mm Glock?
I live in Canada so my purpose is target practise and nothing else. I own a 10mm because I get bored easily and waiting for .40S&W rounds to hit the target was annoying. I would never, ever use a gun to defend myself. I would just hand the criminal a flower and petition for a basketball court to be built in their neighbourhood at my expense.
