Glock 20, Glock 21: 10,000 ft lbs of Stopping Power [Full Review) by Nutnfancy

[@DasGonz13]

The Navy SEALS chose the MK 23 because it was the same gun Solid Snake used during the Shadow Moses Incident to prevent a nuclear attack against America.

[@Evan_Bell]

I'm 18, Living in Europe (strict gun regulations) Never fired a gun, probably never going to own one. I just watch your vids for entertainment and information. Shows how good they are. I love glocks and the 17/20 would be the sidearm I would buy. Great review.

[@wiryone1]

Come to America. Seriously, consider immigrating (to a free state). It might take a long range plan to do it. We need more people like you to be here and to be active to stave off gun grabbers. If America and the constitution goes down, there will no other place to go and live freely. I talked to an Australian who did exactly this.

[@robkilcollins310]

your enthusiasm for the 10mm is contagious. Great review!

[@Czechmate99]

I was sold after finding out that special operations scouts use the G20 to fight polar bears in the north pole.

[@jonahpatton9920]

When i heard "10000 ft pounds of energy in a pistol" i was like "what the fuck!! Is that 10mm round traveling at 5000 fps! How the fuck is that possible! A 30-06 isnt even that powerful what the fuck!" I though i had fallen in love and that i found my next handgun, then i realized he meant the whole magazine, heart is officially broken

[@QuiksiIver]

G17 is for fighting your way to a G20

[@AFDoc00]

G21 is an amazing firearm. Utterly reliable with over 500 rounds of mixed ammo. And accuracy beyond my abilities. A beast.

[@jerrybrown1446]

Took my brand new gen 4 G21 to the range yesterday. I LOVE it! It's my first Glock, and it won't be my last!

[@MrSoAmazing]

I was very surprised at how smooth my Glock 20 shot while at the range with it for the first time. Recoil is not an issue at all and it's very accurate. Simply a joy to shoot.

[@Ariana321]

Female shooter myself, and I picked up a G20 a little over a month ago myself to replace my ancient M1911A1 for CCW. Absolutely loving this thing.

[@Whathe1790]

I would like to see the M&P 10mm

[@lukereiser]

I can sleep at night knowing you favorably reviewed a firearm (G21) after I stupidly bought it pre-review.

[@theshapeexists]

i hated hearing people trying to tear up my 9mm or 40 saying i was underpowered, which is b.s. and most of them were 45acp folks. i love all calibers but wanted to completely avoid the argument and got a glock 20. you simply cannot top the power with a small frame auto..period. 10mm is where its at if you wanna kill a human or a bear in a self defense situation.

[@Czechmate99]

Agreed. I currently use an XD45 with extended magazines (16+1) to compete with the capacity of standard 9mm service pistols but the extra velocity and sheer power of the 10mm definitely makes up for 1 less round.

[@KK4TheBunker]

My brother's brother in law is a Philly PD detective, he carries a G21. IIRC, the Philly PD is moving away from 9mm to .40 and 45acp as standard for their officers.

[@Armedlegally]

I just bought my gen 4 Glock 20 pretty much completely based on this review last night. I will be shooting it this weekend I really can't wait. The gun feels so good in my hand. Thanks again for all the great facts and reviews Nutn!

[@angiepolinski2588]

+Armedlegally Awesome man! I just picked up a Gen 4 G21 with the fde frame. Loving it!

[@aggieguy1225]

Any chance there is a G40 review in the works? I would really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the larger platform for 10mm.

[@daddyflip8584]

flip was here! I choose the 45 for ammo availability and cost, tending toward service and military rounds for that purpose. The other rounds are "second kind of cool" but with lesser utility. Good vid.

[@rrreins]

Well, you got it right! ...again nutn, and obviously I want one-21 I mean. Thumbs up for the feature length. No joke, this is the stuff I would pay to see in cinema.

[@scotth2431]

The Glock 21 is one of my all time favorite pistols

[@TsugaC]

The 10mm is a much overlooked gem that outdoorsmen and security types need to give serious consideration. It has fine penetration that has no problem with putting opponents down regardless of whether or not they're hiding behind a solid core household door or an automobile door.

[@LancesComicReview]

I took my Model 20 to the local IDPA up here in Washington. Someone asked me what gun I was using. I said Glock model 20. Someone yelled out, your using a bear gun... My eyebrow went up. I think TNP doing well in the WA. IPDA.

[@zapzapboom]

iv had my gen 3 g21 for a long time! its coming up on its 10,000 round birthday! Its never had a malfunction other then bad ammo that didn't fire after being struck! love my gun! trust it with my life! cant go wrong!

[@loglew]

10mm is awesome...i saw guy in an IDPA match shoot a target full of masking tape covered holes...and all that tape basically exploded off the target...wow factor +10

[@MARSOC44]

Very happy to see you gettin back to your roots with some good ol' glock reviews! This is exactly what I've been craving to see on your channel lately. Keep em coming Nutter!

[@dontworryaboutathing7338]

Waiting for my 10 day Cali wait to be over for the g20 sf. Add 1 more to the 10mm club!

[@MineEngineer]

I love your videos. They are well structured, entertaining, and very informational. You can spend 4 hours watching crap reviews, or at TNP 1 hour for the best reviews ever. Keep up the good work.

[@moneywithsig]

Finally!!!! The exact review I was looking for. G20 on the Xmas list.

[@phm14]

I bought 2 G20s a couple of months ago. One is replacing a 4" 629 44 mag for a back-country protection pistol. It shoots softer than I expected. The Glock is far ahead of the few other production options.

[@David-lj8zo]

What's the TNP thoughts on .357 SIG? State troopers in the Volunteer state carry it, and I have it on authority from local law enforcement that it's penetration power into vehicles is superior to what most LEOs carry (TN), the .40.

[@nutnfancy]

+David It's a cool cartridge, but we haven't gotten one since we're at critical mass for calibers. As a carry or defensive ctg, it's great! As a plinker or test platform, a little too much cost to be worth adding a whole new set of mags and ammo. -TD

[@David-lj8zo]

+nutnfancy just want to say, thanks for the reply! Love this channel.

[@WarnerKrause]

Awesome review, Nutn. I really appreciate the work you put into these videos. Bring back your outdoors videos, though! You've said yourself that the backpacking videos are the heart and soul of TNP. You gave us a short video a little while ago, but it seems like you're giving up on those types of videos.

[@QRFCombatVET]

I love my Glock 21SF 3rd gen. (13+1). I can easily buy a Glock 20 but it is really hard to find 10mm ammo even at gun shows.

[@gunchief0811]

i own a g21(sf) AND IT'S EXCELLENT another beautiful thing is that anyone who owns the G21 can just buy a complete G20 and swap the lowers and u have the same exact lower for each upper. just buy the specific magazines they both fit the same mag well. this will save u from buying both weapons. but still being able to shoot both calibers

[@stevenjohnson3620]

I like your points around 14 to 16 minutes in, and a 357 sig is great for that also. And is a great round. But it's pretty hard to find handguns with the features that i like chambered in 357 sig. 10mm is also my favorite round, it's funny how many people try to deny it potential as a carry round.

[@georgiabowhunter]

Great review, I love my 10mm Glocks. The 10mm really is one of the most versatile pistol rounds. With the proper load it is an awesome self defense round and an ideal woods gun. Word of advise to fellow viewers, if you become serious about the 10mm you need to reload your own rounds. Underwood makes incredible ammo and even if you reload you won't be able to touch their FPS numbers, however, you can reload your own practice 10mm ammo for as little as .30 cents per round.

[@wyatthurst3820]

If I bought a g20 could I just put a g21 slide on it and run a 45 mag in it and run 45?

[@4HI-4LOW]

I have been conceal carrying my gen4 glock 21 for about 9 months now and love it, everyday and everywhere. I also use it for for whitetail hunting here in Georgia with some hand cast hard cast 220gr bullets.

[@alexanderbush2856]

the mk23 was chosen for higher velocity and accuracy and holds something like 14 rounds of 45....

[@SaltyOldDawg]

I am SOOOOOOOOO glad you did this review! I'm a G29er and I must say I've totally fallin in love with the 10mm cartridge! I agree with some minor mods, mostly of my choosing, but I only regret not trying this round out sooner. Thanks Nutn! Great review of of this great cartridge!

[@mattv2099]

The reason I bought my g20 was as my outdoors anti bear self defense gun.

[@magoonicus]

Awesome vid nutn I've owned my G20 for about a year now, and man do I love this gun!! I carry this gun almost every day. Keep up the good work, and keep the vids coming.

[@jeffd1337]

Glock should send you a Christmas card, this video convinced me to get the 20 as my next handgun

[@ogdadbod]

Finally a review on my favorite big bore semi autos

[@hackersremix]

Side note. It seems that in a staph comparison into energy delivered to target, the 10mm beats a 5.56 in same barrel length rifles under 16 inches. Meaning, you Need about 15 or so inches to get the power of the 5.56 beyond that of the 10mm in the same length barrel. That is why you can hunt from a 6 inch barrel glock 20 at 75 yards.

[@hackersremix]

Straight

[@Dedrithhimself]

This has been an hour of my life well spent, thanks for the great video.

[@BudgetBugout]

Great intel! Great vid as always! I've modeled many of my vids after yours. Keep up the great work!

[@9Nightmen9]

22c with SXZ40 Personal Protection 180gr. JHP. 1010 muzzle, 954 50yrd. Love it. The C has great control for a small guy like me. Love the vid man.

[@johndavis1312]

let's see how many "experts" imbue their profound wisdom on us of how you can't have a pistol that delivers 10,000 ft/lbs. thank you so much, no one would have known, especially nutn.

[@poppabear9279]

Still rockin my custom G20... after 2 years. Out of all my handguns (which I have a LOT) the Glock 20, chambered with my own Montana gold reloads or Federal HST reloads is flawless, zero failures with a 22lb recoil spring and KKM Match barrel and handles almost everything perfectly. Love the gun. It's what I carry no matter where I go in the wilderness, or even to the range. It has been my #1 gun since I got it. Incredible ballistics, makes crap fly long and makes stuff shatter or explode better than any other handgun I own, including my 357 mag, my 45.. everything. Love the 10mm. The biggest hidden secret in handguns and handgun rounds. Love watching this video just to confirm how smart I was when I bought that 10mm.

[@xxxxtripxxxxOSG]

That Hornady XTP definitely would not be my choice for bear if I was in bear country. If it had to be 45acp, which would not be my first choice of caliber, I would go with the Buffalo Bore 250gr hard cast hands down.

[@sgarretson315]

I absolutely want the Glock 20 as my next handgun and I hope that the 10 mm round continues to be sold in the future. Such a great round deserving more recognition. Nice review, thank you.

[@GreatBigRanz]

any pistol carbines shoot 10?

[@barry960]

You can put a Mech Tech system in 10 mm on a large frame Glock frame, making it a handy carbine, and they might have a 10 mm option for a 1911 frame too, not sure. Then there were the 10 mm FBI MP5s, so it's possible there could be an H&K 94 option in 10 out there, although I haven't seen one before. At least we know magazines exist for that though.

[@bavang0728]

I have been waiting for this review FOREVER!!!! Im the proud owner of a Glock 20 SF Gen 3. Everything Nutn said couldn't be more true. Can't wait to take my 20 hunting for Whitetail this season!!!! Thank you for everything Nutnfancy!!!!

[@thundercoach18]

love my G20 it is my EDC hand gun because doggs run in packs

[@steelhorses2004]

Nobody does a review better than TNP!!! Total awesomeness, Keep em coming!

[@boominrick1987]

I shoot 40S&W out of my G20, cycles just fine. I also run a 6" kkm 10mm barrel

[@WaterGremlin1]

I use Double Tap 200 gr WFN bullets in my G20 while stopping the woods in AK. Haven't had to use it in a defensive situation but I am confident in its ballistics and capacity. Some AK big game guides use it as a backup and have had to put down bears of the black and brown variety.

[@mariocarneiro7237]

Nice video ! I live in Alaska when I go fishing or hunting, my glock g20 with the Viridian X5L Flashlight / Green Laser Combo and the Viridian holster always goes with me. Bears usually flee from the laser!

[@oberon1020]

Wow you were not lying when you said that feature length would feel short. Also great video, I really like the editing in this video.

[@Velocity4000fps]

The 10mm is a great hunting cal.

[@anthonylanci]

Just picked up my Glock 21C and my matching Glock 20C. Love them both. good luck finding them compensated anymore. good video. Made me feel really good about choosing these guns.

[@6548ww]

I have to admit this has been a very educational video and I have an opportunity right now to buy a Glock 20 and 21 both are full size Gen 4s,i was just gonna get the Glock 21 but I can afford both so I may go ahead and get them and have the best of both worlds, the Glock 20 and 21 are very difficult to find at my local gun dealers hear in Georgia and its the 1st time ive seen both a 20 and 21 at the same time in the same store I just happened to have lucked up and Cabelas has 3 of each in stock so my chances are good to be able to get both and I got 1 question- what am I looking for when I buy 10mm ammo? to make sure I get the good stuff>? you said some 10mm rounds are loaded to same specs as .40-S&W?-i want the best 10mm loads I can buy in a store-tell me what to look for,,also I subscribed to your channel -thx for all the good info

[@powellsa]

"...seemed like five minutes!" FREAKIN' HILARIOUS! Funny you put this up yesterday...I sold my Para double stack .45 weekend before last and bought a third gen 20SF this past weekend. LOVE the firepower...will be my daily carry gun. One of the amazing stats is the 10mm has more ft lbs of energy at 100 yards than the .45 has AT THE MUZZLE - AMAZING power in a carry-able pistol. Waiting on my Underwood 200gr XTP rounds (they're back-ordered). GREAT GUN, GREAT REVIEW, NUTN' !!!

[@brockking1246]

I picked the 21... I'm a 45 fanboy :D

[@devnull128]

Ha! I am one of those who hates long videos but must admit, you got me on this one. Watched all the way to the end bud. Great video.

[@Justin_GFM]

Lol "Get your credit card ready, see ya!"

[@JoeyP322]

I have been a huge fan of the .45 ACP since I was in the military... My off duty carry is a Glock 36. I have heard great things about the 10 mm, and sir, you have convinced me. (We carry Glock 22s at work). I'm going to purchase a Glock 20 now... (With Buffalo Bore bullets of course) Awesome video. I can't say thanks enough!

[@TheMsjayhawk]

joey p Navy/Marine Expert with the .45 here (I know that makes me old). G20 or Tanfoglio Elite Match (sold in US by EAA). I have had both. The Elite Match is like a 1911 on steroids. I just love the all-steel heavy gun. Buffalo Bore is OK, except it costs a fortune. Get Underwood for more performance and half the price, or Parabellum Research V-Supreme. www.tanfoglio.it/eng/catalogo/sport-amp-competition/match.html

[@JoeyP322]

Thanks for the info. Like you, I also love the steel pistols, especially like an M57, CZ52 or a P64.

[@hawk6111]

It's pronounced plane o, Plano tx

[@alpha1k-]

my guess for the cause of the failure to eject on the 20 is cuz when you were using the bench as a rest you were limp wristing it. its possible you need a firm grip on the 20 cuz of that tough spring meant to handle the 10mm. limp wrist shooting can sometimes not allow the slide to make a full stroke.

[@7magzach878]

Shooting through obstacles... 9mm, 40, 45. 10mm... why no mention of .357 sig??

[@ODVenture]

Hey, I finally bought something BEFORE you reviewed it. Bought my Glock 20 about 6 weeks ago from Impact Guns, and also bought the Lone Wolf long barrel and slide - with slide melt red dot for hunting. Great job Nutn, keep the vids coming!

[@D5quared91]

This vid is great, but Nutn focus mainly on the G20 and doesn't mention much about the G21, which IMHO is a more practical combat sidearm.

[@demongawl]

But it's not a second kind of cool.

[@marktullos2162]

hey nutn! big fan, I have a glock 20 gen 3, I was in the army when I purchased the gun so I was on that program, got the 20 for 480$ with 4 mags! I had to wait 5 months but well worth the wait. I wanted to let you know if you don't already, I shoot 40sw with a conversion barrel from lonewolf, that's it! no mag replacements, they fit perfect in 10mm mags, no malfunctions yet, underwood is my fav ammo to use full power 10s when im havin fun to save money ill switch barrels, one thing I love is my 5.2 inch ported barrel by lone wolf too help with the mussel flip alil I think you would love it. I experienced some FTE like you when I first started shooting it FYI it was my first gun....... yes I started with a G20 and I probably was limp risting but I have a lot of haters too, so I got a 22lb spring and whala, it runs like a dream, when I saw your vid I was like new spring would help it think the underwoods velocities contribute to the need of a stiffer spring but what do I know. Good shooting Great Vid.

[@Fahrenheit38]

That Glock 40 thats coming got me so excited.

[@williamkerry7217]

Cant tell you how long Ive been waiting to see your reveiw of the G20 & 21. OUTSTANDING. I've had my gen 3 for about 8 months. I bought it for my side arm while pig hunting, my old side arm was a ruger super redhawk chambered in 454 casull. I went with the Glock SAWC reasons. Man I love the 10mm. great vid bro. keepem coming.

[@UnckieBub]

460 Rowland for me. But I still like the 10mm

[@socketman]

Nice have a 20 and a 20c already, definitely love the gun, loved the review thx nutn

[@ZeroGorDIE]

10mm too loud for self defense?

[@RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

+ZeroGorDIE I have never in my life heard that question asked before. It doesn't matter if it's a .22 or a 50BMG, a gun is fucking LOUD. Don't worry about noise, man.

[@ronp5755]

Damn you NutnFancy!! I have been pondering a Glock 20 now I definitely want one. I have bought a Glock 41 and got a used 21. So this is one I will get. 2015 will be the year of the Glock for me.

[@Tripandfall321]

that .45acp 200 grain xtp would be a terrible bear round

[@GeraldThomasphotojunkie]

Just read a great article on Glock in the November NRA issue of American Rifleman magazine covering the history and the present of this great pistol. I own the Gen 3 Glock 27 and love every minute of it! And I love the NutNFancy Project!

[@LAV2147SSgt]

Dammit, i didnt believe you that i would watch the whole video and i friggen did

[@bombink1968]

Thanks NUTN! I too am retired Team Blue and each $ counts. I was thanked for 8 different war zones with Chapter 61 so I DIDNT get retire/disability even though I had enough time. BONED as a hero! You allow the working man to purchase/Choose with your FIELDBACK (coined my own term, yes, PLEASE USE IF LIKE!) and MINIMIZE chances of failure. From an AMMO troop to you, THANKS!

[@chraw1983]

am i the only one who still thinks the 357magnum is still a good bear gun. Bill jordan killed a grizzly bear with one in the 1930s. this is when the 357mag first came out and they were trying to prove what it would do. i dont dispute the power of the 10mm but the 357mag is right there with it. i think its much better than the 45acp as far as ft/lbs of energy goes. sure the bullet diameter is small but so what. the energy is still there. this is just my opinion though and i havnt heard any one else mention it when talking about the 10mm

[@MarkAndrewEdwards]

Love the video, man. Nice to see 10mm love. I bought my 20 earlier this year. I love it. It's replaced my much-loved XD9 as my EDC sidearm. I've even started collecting holsters for it, a sign of true love/infatuation. It is just so pleasing to shoot.

[@Carolinacaveman]

the only thing turning me off from a glock is the lack of the external safety. Charlotte NC police have got to S&W MPs over the glock for that very reason.

[@bruinranger13]

M&P trigger is less safe by design, still no need for the safety

[@convex7456]

ya that worries me too with my daughter in the house. but with a PARENT IN THE HOUSE with brains. i know she will be fine if i get the glock. if i get the 20 the ONLY time it leaves me is if i am sleeping

[@bruinranger13]

+dieing REPUBLIC honestly bud I wouldnt fuck with 10 mm, blows guns up, way too much recoil. For a bed side gun get a rifle or a shot gun, if yoh are intent on a handgun go with 9 or .45. They dont blow guns up and the ammo is cheaper.

[@convex7456]

Chris Farrar has 10mm every destroyed any glock20 29 or glock40s?????

[@bruinranger13]

+dieing REPUBLIC eventually yes, the life span of the gun is much much shorter than .45 or 9. .40 cal glocks have a much shorter service life than the 9mm, same goes for 10mm vs .45. For the average person you might not shoot it enough to kill it, but if you arent an avid shooter the 10mm recoils way too much, if you are an avid shooter you could see the gun die on you. The 9mm guns can go upwards of 80k rounds.

[@NewtonWashinton]

Yeah i sure like my Glock 20SF, I use underwood 155gr fmj and also 155gr HP. with my lone wolf 9" barrel getting 1620 fps avg 903 ft lbs energy x18 with my glockmeister +2 mag extension. 16,254 total energy ,... Good video, oh btw i use my guides choice chest holster, and under my jacket for shopping. I really was surprised i agreed with everything you said,. Damn nothing to argue about :)))

[@nateo200]

I would pick 10mm in the form of a G29/G20SF vs .45 in the form of a G30SF everytime if 10mm was a safe bet in terms of availability :/ I suppose if SHTF I could still shoot .40S&W out of the 10mm (albeit risky) or just throw in a .40S&W barrel but still. I wish a major major LE agency would use 10mm, would solidify the availability for the future.

[@aarondavid7149]

Have both!

[@nateo200]

Aaron David I plan on it! But its money and in NY State its a process to get a gun everytime now with these crazy new laws. Gonna go with a G30S first and then go for a G29 or likely a G20 with a bunch of different barrels for different calibers to avoid having to go through all the BS of buying more and more guns.

[@aarondavid7149]

nateo200 In your state with those SHITTY laws I think you are absolutely on the right track, but in most circumstances outside of THE BUSH the 45 is a great man stopper and will be available. Do you have to register in the state? I mean for every single gun you own, even those grandfathered in? I'm not trying to piss you off I just want to talk to someone "in" on the hopefully not new norm of firearm ownership. I'm in ARK and I hope that never comes my way. It's important that this kind of info is shared because I'm on your side and It makes me proud to hear this from my brothers from the Blue states. Keep shooting and CARRY ON!

[@aarondavid7149]

Aaron David Please rant at me

[@fletchschubert5044]

nateo200 Curious as to how the G30s will handle underwood ammo, i.e. higher pressures with that barrel? Underwood 45 acp is 1200-1300 fps. Nice.

[@JBerryMO]

Great video, but I think the 20 and 21 each deserve their own. Although the same size, they do have different personalities.

[@readyrepairs]

desert eagle - 13000 ft lb less bullets more power. glock 19 - 9000 ft lb more bullets slightly less power. and the above numbers are standard cartridges... not some buffalo whatever. the gimmick of saying the glock 21 has 10k stopping power... is a fail. 10mm is a mid range caliber -- nothing else. its smaller than a 50 cal.... bigger than a 9mm .. it is what it is -- nothing more. its not like its magic.

[@jmsmith1019]

Finally!!! The famous G20 talked about go to war sometimes seen on Nutn in EDC gear checks!! Thanks.

[@mwb78]

10 months later... 400 rounds through the Glock 20 and still loving it.

[@cudarocker]

NutnFancy, YOU ROCK! Thanks for making a great vid on the 10mm Auto! My favorite pistol round by far and one I would love to have a carbine for. I'm not big on Glock but this vid has changed my perspective on wanting one. Like I said, YOU ROCK!

[@bryanshow6887]

Great vid. Love the depth of it you always manage to hit on all the different aspects and give a really good idea of the capabilities of a product and how to apply them

[@ChrisCoyoteV117]

Sweet review. I'm glad I bought that G21 Gen4 yesterday!

[@mocapactor79]

I got a 2nd gen G20, with a case of 20mm double tap ammo hollow points...LOVE it! Will be getting the sub compact very soon. Thanks for the rad video man!

[@godsmck124]

I've had similar jamming issues with my G20. This may be off or wrong, but I've found it tied to three things: 1) Dirty magazines 2) Proper/strong grip while firing 3) Resting on stationary props. The G20 is, as you have reviewed, a phenomenal weapon, but it's not for everyone. For me, I will never get rid of mine though I may get a .40 barrel conversion to ease the pain of target practice on my wallet.

[@acecamper]

totally worth my time, best channel on youtube
