Glock 10 mm.

I have both the glock 20 and the 29 love both the 29 will take fhe 20 mags witch is cool have a bigger grip I would not trade ether one for cheaper ammo you can shoot 40 too

I don't understand why people say the G20 is only good if you reload. I regularly find 10mm bulk ammo for 35 cents to 40 cents per round. That's completely reasonable. Sure, hot loads from Underwood cost more, but so does any self defense round in any caliber.

because, k1dude, the cheap bulk ammo for 10mm is powered closer to a .40s&w, or, as someone else said, more like shooting 38 specials out of a 357 magnum.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ... but for many it's the hot nuke loads that defines the 10mm (G20).

By reloading you can make the difference in cost between a plinking load and a nuke load basically irrelevant if you intend to shoot them with any regularity (which you should be because that's why you got a 10mm in the first place).

I carry the 20 and it is a bit heavy.



This is very true...



Its actually 4. You can also get 9x25 Dillon.

Its a 10mm necked down to 9mm its a flame thrower very loud and a ton of fun. it will push a 9mm 124G JHP 1600 FPS. I usually carry the G20 chambered with 9x25 when I am camping.

+1 on the Dillon but in 29sf

I trust my life with mine, I will again in October hunting in wolf country.

It's great but only if you reload. Otherwise ammo cost and availability kinda dampens the ownership experience if you ask me. I know ammo is available but only if you order it or go to an ammo retailer...at least that's how it is around me. I have the G20 but I shoot mostly .45 with a slide swap.

I like to be able to just go and pick up a box of ammo and go shoot it. But I can't do that for the 10mm. If you reload, then you're g2g.

The people saying the G20 is better because the G29 is too small to handle 10mm loads clearly haven't shot a G29. They handle full-power Underwood loads just fine. I don't even have visible abs and the recoil is fine for me. Even took a 120lb girl target shooting last weekend and she was fine with shooting it.

Why pick a G29 over a G20? Well, it's personal preference of course, and many of us decide to own both. I chose the G29 for 2 reasons - First and foremost, it's primary purpose for me is for a CCW backcountry gun. It's much easier to conceal, and weighs less than the G20. The other reason is that the capacity issue is a moot for some people. It's unlikely that the OP has a pile of G20 magazines from when he was a kid, and it's illegal to import them to CA. Yes, I'm aware there are legal ways to have 15rd mags in CA, but it's not easy and some people don't want the added attention from LEO. As it stands, wheh you walk out the LGS with either a G20 or a G29, you're going home with a pair of 10rd magazines.

Edit: Besides, You can put a G20 magazine in a G29 to make it bigger, but you can't put a G29 magazine into a G20 to make it smaller.

Thanks for good info guys!!

Someone mentioned that you can use 40 sw without barrel upgrade??

Tnx.

It works but isn't highly recommended. I'm just going to get the 89$ lone wolf .40 conversion barrel and shoot cheap .40 at the range and 10mm when hunting or in the woods. I got the 20sf and it fits my smaller hands great.

No problem at all. I've run 2500 rounds of .40 thru my G20. No issues using the 10MM barrel. My friend Bill Steele has done the same.

The 29sf is an awesome gun. It is on my CCW as one of my 3 handguns. I will be using it mostly for hiking and trail use, and anytime I feel like carrying something bigger than 9mm. When I first shot it, I was shocked at the recoil; much less than expected, even with the Underwood ammo. It uses the double recoil spring which really helps with recoil reduction. I do not reload, but find ammo fairly easy to get and while it is more expensive than 9mm, not so much more than 45.

Like all Glocks (except the CA version 19), it has been completely reliable for me.

It holds the same amount of ammo as the 20 (for most people) at 10+1.

The best thing about the 10mm glocks is the versatility. You are able to get tamed ammo equal to 40s&w for self defense against 2 legged critters, then get high energy ammo from Underwood, DT, etc. for self defense against 4 legged critters.

I have never had or shot the 20 because for my uses, I do not see any advantages over the smaller gun, but I am sure it is also a great gun.

[cantdance]

10mm factory ammo costs no more than 45acp or 40 S&W. I know. I actually buy the stuff and I don't reload.

[Themm]

They are both super fun guns and great shooters. The g20 is super reliable like any glock. The gen4 29 is a little finicky and gets even more so the more you upgrade it, it's taken quite some time to get it to run smooth. Double tap and underwood are your friend. Stay far far away from 10mm buffalo bore, they load lots of good rounds but not their 10mm I've had tons of bad primers and slow loads.

My friend Oceanbob is right again.

I have shot tens of thousands of 40S&W cased ammo through all my 10mm Glocks in recent years. Frankly, I load very few 10mm length cases anymore because the 40 cases work fine for both 40 loads and 10mm loads and are a darn sight more plentiful.

Where people misunderstand the advisability of using a 40 cased round in 10mm Glock, that concern started with 1911 pattern guns, where if a round somehow slipped the extractor and slid down into the chamber, the firing pin could still ignite it, causing an almost certain head separation form of kaboom.

In the Glock, first the extractor is extremely reliable and stout. But even in the 6 Sigma probability of a broken extractor which would allow the round to slide down and head space on the case mouth, the firing pin won't reach the primer, so all you will get is a "click".

Net/net, there is absolutely no problem shooting 40 out of a 10mm Glock. 1911's, not as fool proof.

I just ordered the LW 9x25 Dillon barrel
I have a need for speed and it appears you can get a 90 gr 9mm bullet sailing at over 2000 ft/sec.
