Love my G20! I added trijicon HD night sights to mine. I use a Bravo Concealment holster that's allows me to carry it with a TRL-1 attached. I think this is a perfect set up for a woods gun. I do a lot of hiking and camping in Northern AZ and my G20 is always with me. Load up a couple spare mags with 180gr Buffalo Bore and I'm good to go.
@Izzyrodthegod do you mean the .40 S&W caliber? 40mm is a grenade. If so then, yes. .40 S&W has really fallen out of favor recently but it’s still a good round. I just prefer other calibers like 9mm, .45acp, and 10mm for semiautos.
Just got my hands on one of these bad boys. Do you have any recommendations regarding spring weight? IE how hot can I go with ammo before I should consider increasing the spring weight? Thanks!
Agreed on the causes of the Kabooms. But, a 40S&W Glock will show wear faster than a 9mm. Will it 'wear out' faster? Who knows. It'll easily go 50k before you need to replace any major parts and if you can shoot that many rounds than the cost to replace the gun is relatively nothing.
Remember to change your OEM barrel to an aftermarket barrel (e.g., Lonewolf) if you are going to be shooting hard cast or lead bullets. More relevant if you are shooting the buffalo bore hard cast loads.
10mm is best suited for longer barrels in my opinion. Look at chrono numbers in some 40 loads from a G23 and most 10mm loads from a G29---very similar.
hey man, "question" do you think the glock21sf frame and slide can deal with the 10mm loads? i know storm lake and lonewolf make conversion barrels for the glock 21sf to fit the 10mm round and therfore make it into an instant glock20, but do u think that the 21 frame is good for those hot 10mm loads you mentioned like buffalo bore etc.? thanks man i appreciate what you do here on you tube keep em comin...
I bought the Glock 40 MOS and then just bought the Glock 29 and Love these guns! Hitting a milk jug at 100yrds with the 40 with Holosun red dot is almost effortless 😜 Now I’m debating on buying the Glock 20 or maybe just the 20 slide to pop on my 40 lower . The 10mm is a great round and shoots well out of these guns
Really great gun, especially for 15+1 rounds of the awesome 10mm in a semi auto for 5-600 like you said. Very hard to beat that. What kind of velocity do you get with say the underwood 155gr using that longer after market barrel? Thanks for the review as always.
Hey man love your channel. Question......what size barrel is that and from what company? I need one for my glock 20sf as well and seeing that youre using it i trust that it is reliable.
Question, I had a Glock g21 and bought a conversion barrel to shoot (.40 super ammo). I no longer have the g21. My question is , could I use that conversion barrel on a G20 slide to shoot (.40 super) ?
My conceal carry as well. I'm 6'8" and weigh 265. So it is pretty easy to conceal it. No getting around it. Hands down the best pistol pound for pound. 16 rounds of 10mm. Never leave my house without it!
I've had a G29sf for years but just traded a Kimber in 10mm for a G20sf. I wasn't going to carry the Kimber any longer and I love the G29, but thought the longer grip and barrel/slide might make it a great choice with future plans of moving to Alaska. I dunno how many times I've watched this (any many others) video but you do a damn good job.
The g20 was designed from the ground up to be a 10 mm handgun most other 10 mm handguns are designed from a 45 and converted to 10 mm which 45 pressures are way lower and could not handle the 10 mm loading
When did Glock change the chamber support for the 10mm? I heard you mention it in this video. I have a gen 3 sf model. Thank you for all your great videos too.
Just curious as to if you personally have heard of a conversion barrel for the G30sf for the 10mm? Really like the vid and really interested in chambering down from a .45acp to 10mm if its feasible. Do you think the 30sf would handle it well? Thanks and keep the vids coming
Do you think this is to much for first time handgun shooter and owner ( also same question in regards to my wife for the compact version)? I know it takes training, but I want to know for defense carry. Thanks
I do think so. Not that it can't be mastered by a beginner but the potential for developing bad habits is very high. Especially in the compact version. The VAST majority of new shooters would be much better off using a 9mm handgun with quality defensive rounds for personal defense.
Do you have a preference for the gen 3 20SF or gen 4 20? Just for a little more info, will be used as a woods gun and would be swapping barrels, recoil spring assembly, sights, maybe trigger connector, etc. Great channel BTW! Always review your stuff while I'm researching. So thanks for all that!
thanks. and thanks for convincing me to get a glock 10mm. after watching your videos and your prompt responses it inpired me to own this beast. thanks again.
Same here glock 20 gen 4 ftw!!! BTW I put ameriglo sight that have a front tritium and blacked out rear, and a ghost 3.5lb connector!!! That's all I'm gonna do to it!!!
My boyfriend wants either the Glock 20 10mm or the Glock 43 9mm for Christmas. Well actually I am sure he wants both, but that's not gonna happen. Which one do you think is a better gun?
+Katie Gillis Neither is a better gun but unless he plans on hunting with the G20 I'd bet he'll use the G43 A LOT more. Ammo's cheaper and it's easier to carry. He should put a ring on you by the way!
+Katie Gillis 9mm is cheaper ammo, but the 10mm is very very nice and a bunch of fun to shoot. It's not very costly to start handloading for the 10mm, just takes .40cal projectiles.
hey bro will the 40 shield or the glock 20 ever wear out from to much shooting. I was looking a james yeager and he said he would not recommend the 40 s&w or anything other then the 9 or 45 acp. because he said the other caliber will wear out the gun faster? Is that true bro?
I just moved to Alaska. Although this sounds like THE backcountry gun (I will be hiking, fishing, hunting quite a bit), I wonder if the added weight and recoil will be too much to have. I currently have a Glock 22 .40 and I'd imagine I would probably continue to bring that (only) to the range because of 10mm ammo cost and said weight/recoil. All that being said, if you moved to Alaska, would this be your daily outdoor driver? Appreciate your input! Great videos and new sub!
Just ordered a Glock 20 Gen 3 from Bud's great price, looking forward to shooting it and adding it to my growing collection of G-guns, Thanks for the review added to my buyers information thanks again
So I have a glock 20sf and I'm wondering what are the differences between the normal glock 20. Is it just the size of the grip or is everything different
Only the grip frame is different. its two millimeters shorter fore and aft at the back strap. Top end is the same, mags are the same, internal parts are the same.
Mrgunsngear Channel sorry about the typo. I was just going to say the difference between the two glock 20 and 20 sf but I found it. Thanks for your reply your one off a few people that do ima subscribe cuz of generosity. I purchased the M & P and the glock 20 sf because off your insite advice.
Just picked up my Gen-4 Glock 20 a couple weeks ago, my new favorite gun hands down. Thinking about a 6 inch KKM Precision barrel to up the velocity a little.
Is it better than a gen4? I'm getting one, but was gonna wait till after Christmas. Should I go put one on layaway now or is the gen4 OK, a d I'll wait?
Unqualifiedly Yes. I carry one in a safe packer "holster". I have a Viridian X5L on it and I have the slide milled to accept an RMR. You can also go with the G29 if you really want to shave ounces but you loose the full grip for like 3 oz of unloaded weight (of course if you put 5 more rounds in your 20 then there is extra weight there but...). FYI the Norwegian Sirius patrol uses them as a last line of defense against polar bears. Same-ish power and lighter than a big bore revolver...
Wish I could control the recoil like you lol work in progress with my G20sf. 10mm is no joke but it's not a big deal either. Any tips on taming this beast? Idk why but I'm twice as accurate with my G20sf then my G35. Idk if it's the 10mm round it's self or I just shoot better with the larger gun? I have fairly small hands also, I just need to get the muzzle flip under control. Great vids
Thinking about getting a glock 20 or the new glock 40 MOS. I have heard different things though regarding being able to shoot Buffalo Bore out of a glock due to the barrel (some people are saying that glock barrels can't shoot certain types of rounds). What are your thoughts? I know there are several different loads from Buffalo Bore in 10mm, one of which goes up to 220 grain I think.
The rounds in question are any unjacketed lead projectiles, the polygonal rifling of the glock barrel can be fouled by lead to the point of an overpressure failure. However, depending on the brinell hardness of BBs hardcast - it might be safe if hard enough. The brinell hardness of most hardcast lead is pretty close to the hardness of a copper jacket. or you can get a regular rifled aftermarket barrel and use it when shooting lead.
It can be done, but it is dangerous, and not recommended. The 10mm headspaces on the edge of the case neck, so 40 smith is too short to headspace properly, it is actually held in place by the extractor. Not good. Spend 115 bucks and get an aftermarket barrel, it takes 5 seconds to install, and you can use the stock mags, and recoil spring. Easy peasy, safe, and reliable. Its how I run 40 in my G20.
No sir, the 1006 was built to handle the most stout full power 10mm rounds on the market, such as the Norma's that were out at that time. They're very robust, reliable, and accurate, and have no problems handling the full pressure cartridges.
Great review on a great gun in a great caliber!!!!!!! I’m building a Glock 40 with a 4 port barrel!!! Poly 80 lower, with all the bells and whistles!!!!!

1911heaven I do too!!
Have you checked KKM?
Love me some Glock 20.
What is the "SF" designation?
Short frame. Means it has a shorter trigger reach.
Remember to change your OEM barrel to an aftermarket barrel (e.g., Lonewolf) if you are going to be shooting hard cast or lead bullets. More relevant if you are shooting the buffalo bore hard cast loads.
Do they make those barrels for the short frame?

This is super helpful (even 6 years later) thanks to the PF45 being closer to the SF model than the vanilla.

is there any truth to the rumor that you can shoot 40S&W through a stock Glock 20,,using the same mags & barrel?
garageguy879 You can; likely not reliably
It can be done, but it is dangerous, and not recommended. The 10mm headspaces on the edge of the case neck, so 40 smith is too short to headspace properly, it is actually held in place by the extractor. Not good.

Thanks.
Sooo...for a hunting sidearm that might be also used as hunting. Glock 20 or RIA 10mm???????? HELP ME
G40
What sights do you recommend for the G20sf? I'm looking for something more on the precision side with these but still be combat durable.
I have a 4th gen and love it. 10mm is my favorite round. Threw a lwd barrel in it, and now I can hand load some pretty stiff cast rounds.
Don't forget you can convert a Kriss extension for the 10mm and have 32 rounds. The Arredando extensions are also good for 20+1.
Indeed. Straight nasty.
No sir, the 1006 was built to handle the most stout full power 10mm rounds on the market, such as the Norma's that were out at that time. They're very robust, reliable, and accurate, and have no problems handling the full pressure cartridges.
G20SF is that the equivalent of a Gen 4 frame size?
Thank you.
so if you have a g21 sf - wasn't it you that converted it to a g20 sf? changing the barrel and the extractor?
Thank you
So which one do you like best G20 gen3, g20sf gen3,G20 gen4 or G20 comp.?
This is the first I've heard of them dropping the Tenifer finish. Is this true? And how much difference is there?
It's fun.
yes
Great review on a great gun in a great caliber!!!!!!! I’m building a Glock 40 with a 4 port barrel!!! Poly 80 lower, with all the bells and whistles!!!!!
Being from the rockies, I wonder if a 10mm would be ideal for a grizz/black bear or mountain lion. Any thoughts?
Would you recommend this for EDC
are they cancelling just the Gen 3's or all of the 10mm models
Indeed
I really like your channel. I would love to see you address the differences in how your different g20's shoot. Accuracy, perceived recoil, etc.
