Thank you. We also have a review on the Glock 40 (not really truly "new" anymore, but the latest in their 10mm series). The G20 is good for most anything you want to do, the G40 is cool if you want the biggest, baddest Glock there is.

Dual captured, recoil spring. Awesome video. The way you shot that 10 mm killed all my ambitions for a 357 mag revolver.

[@HammerStriker]

+jeremy beverly Thank you, the 10mm is a very powerful and capable load and would likely cover any need you may have.

[@adampolselli597]

Hi Hammer Striker! As a novice, I'm enjoying your videos and finding them quite insightful. My family and I intend on camping a lot more here in Arizona, nothing too out of the way but there's plenty of space out here. I want to be prepared and protected and I've been doing my research about the best "camp caliber" if you will and I've landed on either the .357 mag (probably the Taurus mod 66) or the Glock G20 10mm. Which would you suggest considering my use and geography? Thank you for any insight you provide!!

[@HammerStriker]

Adam, I would go with the 10mm over the .357. In 10mm you have higher capacity, the ability to dispatch any predator you are likely to encounter (2 or 4 legs) and the ease of faster reloads. With the ability to load hot or mild 10mm rounds you can balance between range and defense to enjoy shooting it. Personally, I prefer the Glocks and the Glock 20 or Glock 29 would be excellent all-around defense/range/camp/hunt guns. I have taken my 20 and 29 on wild boar hunts with full confidence it will get the job done.

[@adampolselli597]

Thank you very much! I've been leaning that direction but your advice nudged me closer.

[@HammerStriker]

We have a couple other 10mm videos that you may find interesting. The Glock 29, and a comparison between the G20 and the G29. As well as the big ol Glock 40 MOS. You can find them in our Glock playlist. Happy shopping and if you have any other questions just let us know.

[@Logan-or5qw]

I can't figure out why ammo manufacturers do not flood the market with 10mm ammo. The prices would go down. And the demand would be comparable to other calibers. I could use a box of 500-1,000 rnds. of ammo at a time. They are suppose to come out with a Gen 5 single stack in 10mm. Full size & compact version.

[@edwinzambrona6299]

Ive already bought my first xdm 45 3.8 thanks to your review sir. Now i intend to buy a 10 mm which do you think is best G29 or G20?? I need your opinion on this mr hammer striker thank you

[@HammerStriker]

+Edwin Zambrona That depends on what you intend to use it for. I have both, the G29 is great for concealed carry and still fun at the range. 10mm is one round that will take advantage of a longer barrel when using full power loads. If you are going to open carry or hunt with it then the G20 is a good choice. The larger grip on the G20 can make it easier to handle if you are looking for a range gun. One other option, if the larger gun is in consideration (budget permitting) is the G40. The G40 is great for everything the G20 is and supports mounting a micro red-do, the G40 has taken over the "hunting" role from my G29.

You will enjoy it. Get a good solid grip on it the first time, just until you are confident with it. But it really is just a big pussycat - except for whatever happen to be on the business end of it. Check out Armscor 10mm, you can buy it bulk online for less than .45 acp costs at the range and its decently hot but not ridiculous.

[@tonyincs]

Nice shot group!

[@HammerStriker]

Thank you.

[@harleysrule2176]

I stick to the Gen3s because you can tune the recoil spring weight. That can be more important with 10mm so you don't get wide velocity spreads with heavy loads.

[@Delta-gx4fm]

Lived in AK 15 years. I wouldn’t want any handgun against a grizzly. I would take a .338 at the very least. I always took my 45/70 with buffalo loads while hiking. 10mm would make a good backup.

might want to oil the slide and rails it looks and sounds a little dry?

[@marc8vino]

without the back straps and extra mag what's the difference between the Gen 4 and SF?

[@HammerStriker]

The SF (Gen 3) is the same size grip as a Gen 4 without adding any of the replaceable backstraps. The Gen4 uses the dual recoil spring setup, Gen 3 is a single. The dual recoil spring is intended to allow less felt recoil and improve reliability across varying ammo power. Gen 4 allows mag-release to be swapped to right-side for lefties. Gen 4 has more aggressive stippling to improve grip. Minor cosmetic differences beyond that.

[@marc8vino]

Thank You

[@montanamike7948]

Sf is actually 1/16 of an inch shorter in the grip from back to trigger

[@dave434]

I'm trying to decide which 10mm Glock I want to buy, The 20 gen 3 or this one The gen 4 about 50 dollars higher here in my area then the Gen 3. Your Thoughts? Liked your review here ...

[@HammerStriker]

Personally, I prefer the Gen 4s due to the replaceable backstraps and dual recoil spring. The grip body is actually smaller on a Gen 4 with no backstrap installed (roughly equals a Gen 3 SF model). You can make it equal or larger depending upon which backstrap you install. The dual recoil spring is basically a two-stage spring which helps even out the recoil. However, the Gen 3s are solid and reliable and if you choose one you are not making a mistake.

After observing the reviews & numbers the G20 puts up its really nothing bad you can say about it. The only thing is might be too much power for some people. G20 just holds its own I'll take it deep in the woods or mountains without a backup just because of what the G20 is capable of doing. The reliability & ruggedness of a glock.

[@HammerStriker]

When I go boar hunting, I will take the G29, G20 or G40 and know that whichever one I have with my there is nothing with any number of legs or slithering on it's belly that I cannot dispatch if it becomes a threat.

the glock 20 was not based off the 45.cal it was built ground up to be 10mm...

[@caseybrown5183]

Enjoyed the video. Many would argue that no handgun qualifies as acceptable defense against North American dangerous game.

[@HammerStriker]

Thank-you. "Caliber escalation" is unfortunately quite common, both in concealed carry discussions as well as large critter defense. As you read the various blogs, it starts to sound like nothing short of a 500 S&W will be useful for anything bigger than a squirrel. Though a heavy caliber rifle is guaranteed to put something down, it is usually impossible to get such a weapon in play when you get jumped. For "Oh @#$! where did THAT come from" - I feel comfortable with 10mm up to and including black bear. For grizzly, I would move up to .454 Casull.

[@asherdie]

I would argue back that all the big game in North America has been taken with black powder, so what's your point?

[@RN-zd9rj]

Hi. Have you tried shooting a .40 with this gun? Thanks.

[@HammerStriker]

I have not, though I know that technically it can be. There are a few issues to consider before doing so. It is unlikely to cause a KB so that is not a concern but the case is shorter so it doesn't headspace on the chamber ridge. Instead the extractor is forced to do that job, sorta holding the case by the edge and trying to center it in the chamber. This causes extra stress on that part an increases the likelihood of extractor failure. Additionally, average range .40 is near or below the minimum spec for 10mm's min/max range. This means that the heavier springs put into most 10mm guns to handle ammo at the top of the 10mm scale (Underwood, Buffalo Bore) may be too heavy for low-end .40. This would result in poor cycling performance (FTF, FTE, Stovepipes, etc.). Check out sites like gunbot.net where you can find good ammo prices online and you can get inexpensive 10mm range ammo for not a whole lot more than .40 that is good enough to be able to reliably cycle the gun. I won't say you cannot because plenty of people have, but in my opinion it is not the best choice to be able to enjoy your 10mm.

[@phased-arraych.9150]

Have you had any issues with failure to feeds? This seems to be the most prominent issue whenever I check the forums about the G20 Gen 4.

[@HammerStriker]

This one has been flawless from round one. I did a little looking around. Ignoring the guys who refuse to clean/oil their gun or had changed out springs and other parts for "better performance", the most likely cause is allowing it to flip. 10mm is a powerful high-velocity round and a weak grip which allows the gun to flip will burn off a lot of the energy needed to properly cycle. This will result in FTE (often a stovepipe) or FTF as the slide doesn't run all the way. I have fed this some of Underwood's beastliest offerings as well as Armscor, PPU, and Federal range ammo and it has eaten it right up and run fine.

[@phased-arraych.9150]

Thanks for the reassurance. I've been contemplating a G20 purchase for my first handgun since I turned 21 a few weeks ago. I don't want my investment to go to waste.

[@HammerStriker]

+Samuel Hopkins 10mm may be a bit intense for a first gun, unless you have good experience with a handgun. Powerful round and a bit pricey compared to 9mm.

[@HammerStriker]

As far as I know, that's how they are. The G20SF and the G4 with no backstrap are the same size, then adding the smaller backstrap makes it equal to a "standard" G20 then the largest backstrap is bigger than both.

[@montanamike7948]

[@Wildwestwrangler]

For 40s&w your better off with a 155gr or 165gr bullet!!! The lighter rounds in the 40s&w deliver more energy!!! Like for example the Winchester Silvertip 155gr bullets are generating about 500ftlbs of energy which is damn good for a 40s&w!!! But I'll stick with 10mm where mild loads still usually generate 50 to 100 ftlbs more of energy!!!

[@bluelightningrod1]

I had issues with my G20SF and gen 4 G29 with light primer strikes with European ammo. The issues occurred with PPU and Sellier & Bellot ammo. I sent guns back to Glock to no avail. I got a Colt Delta Elite instead and issue was fixed.

[@HammerStriker]

I have had problems with Seller & Bellot on some occasions in several different guns (Glocks and others). It appears they make two versions, one of which has less-sensitive primers. I think it may be intended for the open-bolt sub-machine guns that are popular over there and less likely to slam-fire. You never know which variant you are going to get at the range or online. There are "Extra Power" springs available to overcome this but you start to run the risk of puncturing a primer and will also have a heavier trigger pull. I avoid S&B because of that experience. I have not had any issues at all with PPU, though it seems to be less readily available here in Central Florida. The Colt Delta Elite is a very nice gun, though it does cost about the same as the G20 and G29 combined.

Glock 20 or Sig p320 45

[@HammerStriker]

+jeremy beverly The cartridges are different enough that you would have to first decide upon that. 10mm is a bit intense for many people while most can easily handle and enjoy the .45 acp If you compare a Glock .45 such as the 29 or 21 to the p320 then I would likely choose the Glock. Not due to any issue with the Sig, only based on the track record of reliability I have experienced with the Glocks.

[@vcutrader7079]

Is there much recoil difference on this one compared to the Gen 4 21 ?

[@HammerStriker]

Surprisingly, that will actually vary due to the ammo itself. .45 ACP is pretty consistent across range ammo and then again across defense (ie: Most all .45acp range ammo feels similar to each other across range ammo, and then the defense ammo which is usually hotter is pretty similar across that type) so when you take a .45 ACP to the range that particular gun will be pretty predictable. 10mm has a huge range of loadings, with some as weak as light .40 S&W and some (like Underwood's offerings)that approach or exceed .357 Magnum. If you try to do an equivalent comparison by getting 10mm loaded to the same percentage of the 10mm SAMI spec as the .45 is to it's SAMI spec then the 10mm will be a noticeably stronger recoil. If you get maxed out 10mm and maxed out .45, the 10mm will be significantly stronger. Most inexpensive 10mm range ammo is loaded down to the bottom of the spec and will feel almost the same or lighter than .45. So, in this case, it will really come down to what you feed them.
