G20 Upper - Buy or Build

[Svashtar]

I put off getting a complete G20 upper for $300 online about 3 years ago, for my G21. Now I see they’re selling for upwards of $600? Uh, I guess my question is why you would pay that much for an upper when you could just buy an entirely new G20 pistol? But I know with recent gun price insanity anything is possible.

Please let me know if you have a source where I could get one, or have a good source for an aftermarket slide and parts and I’ll just build my own. I already have a 6” 10 mm barrel picked out. Some retailers have only a limited selection of parts, and practically all the aftermarket slides I see are for 9 mm models only. (?)

Thanks for any info!

Yup, buy a complete gun and sell the parts you don't want.

I purchased a G20SF a week or so ago (picked it up 6 days ago) I know its not the best price in town but it does seen like it's a better direction for the OP.

Ok, kind of what I was afraid of, but appreciate the info. I have found a manufacturer for a stripped slide, but need to check out their quality and reviews first. I appreciate the info.

Check ebay usually around $200 for a Glock 20 slide.

Why not just buy a 10mm barrel for a 21 then a recoil spring and extractor?

If the lugs/ hood doesn’t fit on your current barrel you can have it cut to the right size, if the barrel is too long you can have that cut down also.

Did you check gunbroker?

I just looked and saw 2 Glock 20 slides. They were complete with barrel and every thing that came with it as new for $695.

I did however see some slides that would work with a Glock 20 for as low as $199; keep in mind these ARE NOT Glock 20 slides. These also don't come with any other parts; Glock or otherwise.

+1 if just want to shoot 10mm out of a G21, get the 10mm conversion barrel for G21. Conversion barrels are designed to fit exactly.

You are Looking for a complete Glock 20 oem Slide and Barrel ? If your looking to save money . Doing either after market or Factory won't save much. And will proabably cost you damn near as much as a new Pistol.
I've put together a number of Slides for the Glock 20 , 6 inch Longslide and Rmr cut..
Set up. A couple from Lonewolf and a Couple from Rock Slide been very happy with them.
If the Slides work on the Glock 20 they will work on the Glock 21 as they are the same frame. I'd recommend going to a 21 or 22 lb Flat wound spring seems to provide the best recoil Reduction and reliability.
Good luck with your endeavors.

I'm not looking for anything, the OP is.

Purists for simplicity and peace of mind go for the stock versions of things...

If you are adventurous go for the mind bending world of mods.
