Just picked up a hardly used, almost new 10MM Glock 20 Gen 5 MOS this past week at my LGS. Shot it Friday. It is one bad *** gun.

I purchased some Underwood ammo for it as self defense ammo and now I'm ready to go.

Can't ever go wrong with a Glock!!

If my Delta Elite NM Gold Cup wasn’t so damn sexy…plus a trigger made in Heaven…. I’d buy a G20 as they are dangerous! And mean ugly.

They feel very brick-like in hand, but I really like mine regardless. It’s got the highest firepower to weight ratio of any handgun I can think of. Popular in dangerous wildlife areas.

Funny how the .9mm Glock, probably the standard of police handguns, has seemed to become the defacto standard for bear defense in 10mm chambering. A lot of Glock 20's end up in Alaska.

I had one (gen. 3 I think) but sold it a few years back. It was a good gun. It has since been replaced with a Glock 41 MOS w/ a red dot. 240 grain HC FN .45's at about 1000 fps hit pretty hard.

Way back when Glock came out with the G20 I bought the first one I found
I have owned over a dozen Delta Elites, still own one and I kept my 10mm Double Eagle
I did replace the Glock barrel with a Lone Wolf 6” barrel. The gun fits my hands nicely
I do prefer my DW 1911 style 10mm but I like them all

I really like mine. I added a Holosun MOS sight and could not be happier.

My 'go to' farm gun has been a .45acp Model 30, but this one is getting carried more, especially after dark. The holsters are from a gentleman down the road that has a tack shop. The last pic is my well worn Model 30.

I get that Glocks are excellent guns…but they feel like you’re holding a 2”x4” in your hand. Having said that I do own a Glock 29 and 30.

The Glock grip angle also doesn’t feel natural to me. After a life of shooting 1911s anything else doesn’t feel right.

I agree, I am a 1911 guy as well. I am not a fanboy of the different 9mm variations, but the large frame Glocks just work for me.

The Glock is certainly a proven 10mm platform. So much so that I was thinking of picking up a G29.

I have a 20 and a 29. Both are accurate and reliable guns. And I'm not worried about them rusting in the rain!

G20 is not for someone with petite hands

I have a Glock model 40, which is really not a 10 mm for small hands.

No glocks in our house and no 10mm wanted . 1911's and m&p's handguns cover our needs from personal defense or for big bears on a alaska fishing trip .

If more velocity and bullet weight is needed on target than a underwood 40sw or hst 45 loads then I'll grab a mag ot two of some 45 super ammo .

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I went thru the LFI-1 class with Massad Ayoob with a Glock 20. He said that he believed it to be the best serious defense pistol available (at that time). I not longer carry it as it is too big and heavy for my old arthritic body but I do shoot it now and again. I had to have a butt job on it so it fit my hand reasonably well. I have "used" it once, dog attack. One well-placed 10mm will put a pissed off pit bull down pretty fast.

When I speed hiked for exercise, rain or shine, most days a week, I carried my Glock 20.

I've had 3. First had rails break in a known failure of "E" series metallurgy.
Second is replacement "G" series from Glock under warranty.
Third was Gen 4 that I sold in attempt to downsize inventory.

I also own a Glock 29, my first 10mm(because I couldn't find a 20), a STI Nitro 10 1911, and a Springfield Armory Range Officer Operator.

I prefer 1911's in all shapes and sizes to any other carry gun. I mostly carry "j" frames and Lt. Wt. Commanders in .45.

Glock 20 is a good gun. I added a Cominolli safety to mine because I like manual safeties. G20 is accurate, reliable, powerful enough for me, and easy to maintain.

I've had a variety of 10mm guns over the years, but I always keep a Glock 20. It's one of my favorite Glocks and one of my favorite 10mm's. My current one is a Gen 5 which I prefer over the previous 20s I've owned. And as blocky and large as the G20 grips feels in my hands, I shoot it rather well. It just works.

In the running for the ugliest pistol ever produced. That being said I have a 21 gen 4 for home defense. The interchangeable back straps and the ease of changing the mag release to left hand make up for the lack of grace.

I have a Glock 20 gen 2 and a Glock 29 gen 3. I think Glock is the best platform for a 10mm.

Just staring at a stripped g17 frame and a g20sf frame it is hard to tell the difference in size. In contrast the gen3 standard frame is a handful!

I've shot many Glocks and am pretty accurate with them but don't like the feel and prefer a manual safety. Never had any desire for a 10mm but we started backpack camping in the mountains and my fiancee insisted I get a handgun for bears. I got an M&P 4" 10mm and it's turned into my favorite handgun! Great ergonomics and trigger, perfect reliability, accurate, light recoil, and I shoot it better than my other center fire handguns because the tall, funky sights.

My last duty pistol was a G40. Worked forest patrol in the PNW; rugged and remote country with little radio contact (and damsure no cell coverage), so no back-up available. Wolves, cougars, and bears abound, as do drunken 300 pound heavily-armed "woodsmen," so I wanted big, fast bullets and lots of them to back up my department-issued M14.

If you feel like you're holding a 2"x4" in your hand,
it must be a Smith M59?
That's what everyone would say when I let them
shoot ours.
At the range with a J frame carrying Air America pilot
buddy, who started carrying Glocks, said my Colt GC, with
OEM grips, felt too thin, and my Colt GM, with .325" Ebony
grips, was just right.
He and others said 45s, just have too much recoil.
I gave them really light loads. I guess fear of the 45,
exists at both ends.
Fun day at the range.
We should thank Glocksters, for making the M59,
feel great again.

Our newest gun is a Glock 20, as it's better for
concealed carry in the Rocky Mountains, then a
629/4" when hiking on populated trails, said our son.

I wonder if my stainless Ruger Officer could be
made to shoot 45 Super?
Don't want to use the old Colts.

If I bought a 10mm, it would be a G40.
Would buy a high capacity Glock in 45 Super,
with a fully supported chamber and a 6" barrel.
