I sold my Charter Arms Bulldog 44 special and my Ruger SS Security Six 357 and used the proceeds to buy a NIB Gen 4 Glock m20 10mm.

Came with 3 15 rnd mags. The trigger really isn't that bad. DA on the first shot then SA and decently crisp on all the shots after so long as I don't release the trigger all the way.

Found 150 rounds of CCI ammo for 100 bucks....should be a good fishing gun.

10mm is a beast-that should indeed be fun. Buddy of mine has Glock 10mm and he really likes it.

My first handgun was a security six 357. Loved that gun.

I find a good knock on the head with a little club is usually sufficient. ;D
I call it C&R - club and refrigerate.

(seriously, I do understand the rationale; it just takes some getting used to when its not part of your experience.)

LOL. Some of these Idaho Brookies can be quite vicious. Best to be prepared and well armed.

Dave, now you need to get some 10mm dies. I have emailed you a PDF copy of the Glock armorers manual.

Thx.

So far, the only ammo I could find here in Idaho was CCI Blazers which have non reloadable cases. I just needed some ammo. When this stupid ammo crisis normalizes and I believe it will, I will get into loading for it.

I love this Gen 4 Glock. I think my wife wants one in a 40. I think I will go with the SF frame gun for her....slightly smaller grip.

Dave,

There has been a decent supply of 10mm here, .40S&W too. Seems like a lot of the 10mm factory stuff isn't loaded as hot as the originals. The best bear loads will be the ones you roll yourself, like a heavy flat nose FMJ moving along at a good clip.

Buffalo Bore makes some heavy 10mm loads. I will likely pick up a box or two until I can roll some of my own. I shot it ten times today, to see if it went bang. The only ammo I could find right now is CCI Blazer 200gr fmj in non reloadable cases. It seemed pretty much right on at 20 yards.

Advertized vel is 1050fps...which is not bad but not at full potential for the round. Recoil is smooth and for a Glock, the Gen 4 grip is decently comfortable. They come with some grip attachments but they only make the grip bigger IMHO and are for shooters with bigger hands than mine.

If the 10mm ammo situation doesn't get any better in your area, you could always pick up some new Starline brass if you get some dies. I know Buffalo bore says their hard cast loads are safe for Glock factory barrels, and I'd certainly test some, but just be sure to heed the Glock warning on possible over pressure situations and barrel leading with the polygonal rifling.

Nice, the 10mm has always interested me. I think if I ever get one, I will go for one in a 1911 frame.

You should look at underwood ammo online. Just as hot as the Buffalo bore at half the cost. I carry the glock 29 for fishing or backpacking and it shoots quite nicely. Also bought a drop in 40 cal barrel from kkm and can shoot the 40's when at the range. The trigger on my glock got much better with use.

Agree with Russell on Underwood ammo, I forgot about them. I've been wanting to get some of their 9mm loads, but they are always out of stock on that now.

Ordered 300 rounds tonight. Thx. I ordered 150 rounds of 135gr JHP which are smoking hot @ 1600fps and 150 rounds of 200 gr TMJ which are pretty dang hot @1200fps.

You will definitely notice a difference from the blazers.

I did some research on whether or not I would need a heavier spring on this Gen 4 Glock. As it comes with a dual recoil spring set up, many think it is unnecessary. I think some time, I will order a heavier one from Lone Wolf anyway but for now, it appears as though the Gen 4 20 will handle hot rounds just fine.

I am thinking of saving up for next year and get a Gen 4 Glock 32 357 SIG. This is a round that intrigues me. The gun is slightly more compact and nicely so. I had a Gen 4 Glock 23 40 S&W in my hands the other day which is basically the same gun. It felt good. The 40 S&W bores me. But the 357 SIG....yup, I think I could get into that round.

You can pick up an aftermarket 357sig drop in barrel for that glock 20 and you don't even need new magazines.
