Glock 20 & Glock 29 with Heavy Hard Cast Buffalo Bore bullets

[@poptya]

After watching a ton of hickock videos, it's easy to underestimate just how mind-blowingly accurate he is with handguns.

[@1jimmarch]

He's using a specific technique only available to people who are hand and eye dominant on either side. He's right handed, left eyed. He's got his right arm dead straight, right cheek on his right bicep, left eye behind the sights. This gives him an extra point of stabilizing contact. I'm wired the same way. Hurts us doing long gun work but in handguns, we can lean into it. For close range we tighten both arms, elbows bent and dropped, bring the sights closer in.

And as I don't collect this gun should do well as CCW. The guy at the store I bought it from was as happy as I was about this weapon and highly recommended it. He was ex sheriff so I trusted his expertise.

[@TrollingWithFlames]

[@WarriorSpirit3a]

My EDC is a Glock 29 (smaller) 10mm. It is a tack driver and has been very reliable. I carry it with Winchester 175 grain Silver tips. Recoil is really not bad and probably less than my G-23 and G-27 in that department, in part due to the massive slide on these things. I feel more confident with it than a .45 because this will punch through car doors and like barricades if needed and a .45 may not.

[@jona5517]

Old post I know, but with the right ammo, 45 will do the same. I like both cartridges and trust them both.

[@barrebabyugk4life]

i LOVE this guys backyard range!!!

[@TheWhip8100]

I was doing the same thing when I began shooting again after about 15 years of not shooting much. Typically what causes that is Recoil Anticipation. This means that you are pushing forward slightly in attempt to "combat" the recoil. Just relax and let the recoil happen and your shots will hit center. It takes discipline and practice to get rid of the habit, but you can do it! Hope this helps.

[@hickok45]

Great video! I just picked up 50 Underwood 220gr hard cast rounds for about $50, which included shipping. Still a little steep, but seems cheap compared to the BB. There's a good spreadsheet I found for comparing the energy from these two rounds too. I believe the Underwood round was about 100fps faster than the BB too, which considering it's a cheaper round makes it all the sweeter. Here's the data: UNDERWOOD 220GR HC - 1,211fps - 717 ft-lbf BUFFALO BORE 220GR HCFN 21C - 1,109fps - 601 ft-lbf

Necking down is decreasing the case diameter at the bullet end, as in a .357 sig. The .40 case is a shortened version of the 10mm case, the diameter is the same, it is the length which is reduced.

[@HopeProphecy]

What happened at 3:50 of this video? Did the gun jam? Could this have been caused by using the heavier 220 grain bullets? Sorry, newbie here. I just want to make sure that the 220 grain is a reliable round to take into bear country, and that it won't be more likely to jam than lighter loads.

[@driverjohns6051]

This happened to me as well. from what I have discovered, the powerful round is locking the slide back. To avoid this I purchased an aftermarket 23 lb spring to better handle the powerful BB round. Hope this helps.

[@HopeProphecy]

@@driverjohns6051 Makes sense - thanks! I now have a 22lb spring in mine, along with a 6 inch aftermarket barrel. The ramp of the barrel was also machined to allow the larger cast loads to feed reliably, and it has worked well so far with the 200grain Under Armor. Still need to test the 220 grain.

[@driverjohns6051]

@@HopeProphecy Good to know about the ramp of the aftermarket barrel. I have a lone wolf aftermarket barrel and the double tap hard cast rounds would have FTF and on occasion lock back even my 23 lb spring.

@@driverjohns6051 Yes, that makes sense. Mine is Lone Wolf as well. I happen to live near their factory, and they machined the ramp in front of me the same day I bought it. I'm sure they would do that for you free of charge if you mailed it to them.

[@rbrtck]

I don't have a 10mm pistol, but just for fun I've shot the .40 S&W load of the Double Tap 200-grain WFNGC hard-cast boolit, and had at least one failure to feed out of a box, as I recall. This is out of a dead-reliable pistol that hadn't had any such failures before or since. As far as I can tell from limited experience, the load is pretty reliable, but perhaps not quite as reliable as FMJ or hollow-points. Normal factory 10mm/.40 bullets always have a flat nose or meplat, and those tend to be 6-6.5 mm wide, while the 200-grain WFNGC's meplat is about 8 mm wide (and punches nice, clean holes in paper like a SWC round), which is a significant difference and could be a factor in its reduced feeding reliability (if in fact this is true to begin with). The Buffalo Bore boolit appears to be similar, although I don't have one to measure. Another potential factor is that the hard lead may not be quite as slick as the copper jacket alloy (usually gilding metal--a mild brass). Overall it works, but for actual woods carry in grizzly country I think I'd opt for a .44 Magnum, .454 Casull (or an extra-hot .45 Colt load), or at least a hot .357 Magnum load in a revolver.

[@cdalton3169]

I have four glocks. All hang and occasionally misfeed or stove pipe... especially the G36! That’s most likely not the cartridge but the gun. My G41 never fails!!! Try the new Springfield in 10mm XDM Elite. No stove pipes or misfeeds... great content!

[@kspdt]

from Buffalo Bore Hard Cast Bullets in Polygonal Barrels HARD CAST BULLETS IN POLYGONAL BARRELS True hard cast bullets (as opposed to lead swaged bullets) that are properly lubed will not lead foul polygonal barrels any more than any other type of rifled barrel. Ever since Glock Corporation warned to not use lead bullets in their pistols with polygonal barrels, a myth that hard cast bullets will lead foul polygonal barrels has become wide spread in some parts of the firearms world. However, the myth is untrue. Hard cast bullets are not "lead" bullets. (See my article on "Dangerous Pure Lead Cowboy Bullets") Pure lead or nearly pure lead bullets have a tendency to foul any barrel, not just polygonal barrels. Years ago, when several Glock pistols experienced cracked barrels because of fouling build up from shooting pure lead bullets, Glock issued a warning not to shoot lead bullets in their polygonal barrels. From that warning, the myth that you should not shoot hard cast bullets in polygonal barrels was born. Provided you use real hard cast bullets with good lube, you can shoot them all you like in polygonal barrels without causing lead fouling deposits at the front of your chamber or anywhere else in the barrel. If you are concerned about lead fouling from hard cast bullets, all you have to do is to clean your barrel after firing hard cast bullets and before firing any jacketed bullets. However, in my experience, quality hard cast bullets won't foul a Glock polygonal barrel or any other type of barrel but lead bullets normally will.

[@matthewmandregan1467]

+kspdt Your comment was very informative and i enjoyed reading it. Thank you for contributing something positive to the internet.

[@samtaylor7800]

kspdt thank you for the info. will gas checked hardcast bullets from doubletap reduce chances of fouling even more?

[@JeffinTD]

I shot many hard cast bullets from a 1st gen 9mm Glock back in the day, with no leading and with plain based bullets. Just use quality bullets and data specific to cast bullets from a reliable source, and use your head and when developing a new load check the barrel periodically. I do use gas checks for 44 magnum at higher power levels. Whether a gas check is needed for 10mm would depend on choice of bullet, powder, and charge level.

[@louisstaiano4566]

Pure lead bullets you are right no good for any pistol I used to make my own wheel weights are you still water drop them I used to make them just like Buffalo Bore those are good bullets but you going to pay some good money if you're not making them yourself

[@TheCastleKeeper]

Yes. It will be held in place by your extractor. The headspace is different. If you fire too many of them one of two things will occur; The front end of your chamber will get dirty and will need to be cleaned or it may cause a KB, and you'll over stress the extractor and it will crack and break causing a real nasty lock up. But, yes, it's okay for a few rounds or in an emergency.

[@dougphillips7524]

I got to have a Glock 29 10mm; I've been saving up for a 10mm for awhile & the G29 runs $520 & I saw a kimber 10mm for $1400. I'm getting the Glock which holds 10+1 10mm.👍

[@DanielQihuaiNg]

If you are asking whether a .40 S&W bullet will travel down the barrel of a 10mm, it will, because they have the same diameter. But to fire a .40 S&W cartridge in a 10mm semi-auto pistol is not recommended (very different chamber dimensions)

@@FrankO-ek1ec Yes, some have said that they shoot hardcast out of stock barrel with no major issues (maybe just needing to clean it more frequently). But others recommend to ket a KKM or Lone Wolf barrel in order to shoot the heavier led bullets. Personally, I will probably stick with the stock barrel and buy 200 grain hardcast underwood for the woods - I probably will not end up shooting much of it anyway.

As Mr Hickok said, the hardcast rounds are absolutley ideal for defense against a large wild predator, as it will garner maximum penetration. As for the 2 legged predator, hardcast will OVERpenetrate, & possibly hit an innocent in a self defense scenario.

[@standyourgroundnow]

Don't forget if you get the Glock 29 in 10mm, you can drop the same sized 40S&W barrel in there to fire the cheaper 40S&W. My neighbor just found out about this and is going to get a 40S&W barrel to do this so he can shoot at the range more.

Glock doesn't manufacture compact pistols when it comes to 10mm Auto and .45 Auto because there's no real benefit to having a compact pistol with the larger cartridges. They do, however, manufacture the model 38 which is chambered in .45 G.A.P. which utilizes the 19/23/32 frame.

cuz 10mm is a beast. it has similar ballistics to 357 magnum. the recoil in a compact 10mm would be too much.

So why isn't it "too much" for the sub-compact? This also bothered me when looking at the glock lineup. I understand why they don't have a compact 45acp because they need to justify the existence of their 45gap round for which they do make a compact. But why don't they make a compact 10mm?

I do beg to differ. I had a M&P .45 a few years ago. It was listed as "stainless" (with black finish) but it would rust if you looked at it too hard. Turns out that it was a common problem and S&W had metallurgical issues which caused it. Of course, stainless will rust if neglected long enough, but this was not neglected. Also, the .40 M&P's had issues with cracks in the slides. Hickok himself had that problem, as did many others. No more semi-auto M&P's for me.

Tumbling 220 doesnt have alot penatration but it cuases alot of serious damage. Back in days with 55grain 5.56 was to bounce it on ground bout yard from target to get it to tumble to get 55 grain spining to really rip some flesh up .

wow, that is a beautiful Glock 20. I've been wanting a G20 but it makes me think twice due to ammo cost. great video.

@edition420. In Missouri, you can hunt white tail deer with anything larger than a rim fire. I bought my glock 20 to use during black powder season which has been expanded to allow pistols.

You know what Hickok45? You should be on Top Shot.

[@seventhSabra]

That's pretty accurate. My 20SF, 29SF and 30SF converted to a 29SF have less recoil than the 21SF and 30SF assuming a roughly equivalent load. .357 is much more of a snap (like hot .40), 10mm is a strong push backwards, and .45 is a push with a fair amount of snap. Just got a second 21SF to convert to .460 Roland (will still shoot .45 ACP), should be fun. 10mm is still by far the best pistol round especially if you need a round that can take a bear but not be overkill for a bad guy.

Hickok You are certainly a great shot. Very accurate.

[@thefinder808]

What you should be saying is this: "A .460 Rowland (while not nearly as available) can be somewhat more powerful than a 10mm when shooting at targets under 75 yards away." The 10mm can be almost as powerful, is a flatter shooting round, and is exponentially easier to find (ammo and handgun).
