Glock 20 questions

I was considering getting one of these somewhere down the road, if for no other reason, I like diversity in the collection. Does anyone have experience with this gun? Is the grip larger like on the .45? Is 10mm ammo easy to find? Can I pick it up at Wal-Mart or do I have to go to a gun shop? Also, what is the relation in size of 10mm vs. calibers we are more familiar with.-Marcus

    The frame is the same as the Glock .45 and you won't find to much 10mm ammunition at the "marts", and even some gunshops. I've had a Model 20 since they came out, it's a sweet shooter when stocked with downloaded 10mm rounds (ie .40 S & W velocity). The 15 round mag. is plenty of firepower, although extra mag.s rate premium prices everywhere.

    How's the recoil? Similar to .45?-Marcus

    With the light loads, the guns "feels" softer that a regular .40 cal., but let loose with a few true 10mm rounds and you'll remember that its a magnum.

    The felt recoil of my G-20 is considerably more than my Sig P-220 .45acp, but it is manageable for an experienced handgunner. Unless you have relatively large hands, the G-20 is a handful. I cannot say enough good things about the G-20, aftermarket, drop-in barrels can be purchased in .40 S&W and .357 Sig for the G-20 and both utilize the existing magazine. A 6" 10mm barrel is also available. With these extras, its a potent package. 10mm ammo is readily available at Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas, haven't seen it in any of the 'marts. You won't be dissapointed in the Glock 20. If you handload 10grns of powerpistol under a 135grn JHP is a helluva 10mm load.Regards,Jon
