glock 20 10 mm

[FarmerTed1971]

My G20 has more felt recoil than my Colt Delta Elite did. I still love it.

Although not high on my list of must have handguns, I have a 10mm on my want to buy someday list. It's an arguable peer to the .357 Magnum, with significant tactical advantages over a wheelgun, (I say that in spite of my great affection for my 686 plus, and an inexplicable ambivilance toward Glocks) which makes it a wholelotta bang for the buck.

I had the exact opposite experience when I shot my G20 and a 10mm 1911 side by side.

My G20 has ridiculous recoil, unpleasant to shoot. My Witness Elite match was much nicer. I predict my new 10mm RIA will be good to go as well. It weighs the same as a Witness.

It significantly outperforms the .357 Magnum. It's more on par with a .41 Magnum.

The ballistics and the ability to have it in a standard capacity semi auto were a couple of things that drew me to 10mm pistols.

A lot of it depends on what ammo your shooting. There is a big difference between PPU or some Underwood

Except when you compare actual ammunition manufacturers muzzle energy and muzzle velocities, then what I said actually has merit. If you are a Glock fanboy, and like winning pissing contests, then yes it significantly outperforms .357 Magnum, and is closer to a .41 Magnum.

OK we get it,you don't want to say the 10mm Glock out performs your wheel gun 357.
But 14 rounds of anything that is on par with or above a 357 or close to a 41mag gets my vote.
All you have to do is hand load some real 10mm or buy the better brands to get real 10mm performance.
And yes I have not just 1 but 2 g20s

I went out and shot my RIA 10mm for the first time today, about 200 rounds, including about 75 of my nuclear hand loads. It's stout but not painful. After about half a mag in my G20 I would want to stop, I'd usually only shoot one mag of the hot stuff before switching to my light loads.

A. I do like to cuddle with my 686 in a warm soft blanket, with a cup of hot cocoa and watch TV at the end of the day.

1. You never can tell what I'm polishing under my blanket.
2. If I'm watching Bill O'rielly, It's Probably the 686.

B. I haven't called anyone a Glock-tard, even once, I resent the accusation.

3. 2? I'll bet your front yard is littered with dead bears.

Gummi bears.....how'd you know?

Lol

When I was first introduced to Glocks in 1982 I knew they were accurate enough for self defense but dismissed them as a gimmick that would not be around long. Glad I was wrong. I now own several and am constantly amazed what they can do. Off a rest I can hit more than 50% of the clay pidgeons at 100 yards. Off hand they other day I shot 14 rounds fairly quickly at 100 yards and ran a 18" group. Every shot was there. On my IHMSA 22 targets I can hit them all every time from a rest. I frequently use it varmint hunting and have shoot quite a few squirrels with it.

To keep my 10mm fed I have to fire up my Dillon 550 about twice a year and run a thousand at a time. 9.4 grain of Longshot, 180 XTP, CCI-350 magnum primer set at 1.260 OAL. Produces 1325 fps. I did have to put in a Lone Wolf barrel as with the factory 10mm barrel I was getting occasional smileys on my Starline brass.
