I've had my Gen 4 Glock 20 for about 6 years now, and it the pride and joy of my gun collection. I had the same problem with my G20 when I first got it, I wasn't expecting that hard upward snap and it took me about 3 or 4 rounds to get used to it. I also have a .40 S&W Glock 22 which also has a bit of a snap, but the Glock 20 has even more snap, and after about 3 or 4 mags your wrists start feeling it. Most calibers will push backwards before the barrel rises but not 10mm it's just that hard snap. Love taking my 10mm to the range because even with hearing protection the thing still sounds loud and anyone around will stop and look to see what is going on.
Yep, little old Connecticut has bear issues also which could be solved by opening up a hunting season. Although our bears are not as large as ones that you may encounter but they can still make go badly. I have very respect for wildlife so that’s why my EDC is 10mm they are of course the Glock 20 Springfield XMDE 3.8 and the 4.5 and also the S&W both the 4 and 4.6. I hope you had or going to have a safe trip to Montana and back.
The 20 is my favorite pistol I own. It’s a bit of a pain to carry because of its size. But it’s shots so good I can’t bring myself to put it down for a smaller nine.
It’s not my favorite pistol out of all pistols, but my 2nd favorite Glock behind the G21. I’m not a huge Glock fan boy but I am 45 years old and I’m on that 45 drug can’t help it so the 20 and 21 are my favorite Glocks.

I had the G29 and loved the concept but it had ftf and battery issues because I (Gene) have small fat hands and because of the recoil added with the thickness I had trouble keeping a firm lock on it. I hate it but moved to the 20. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
My first pistol was a Glock G-30 that I keep converted to 10mm. I named her Marcey, after my Ex. Because she's a sweet piece, But she's expensive to feed. And she gets a little too heavy to carry after a while. She'll slap the s*it out of you when you trigger her. And if she goes off in the house, the neighbors are probably calling the cops.🤪
Statistically speaking, a g20 is more than enough firepower, even for grizzly. I like having more than enough firepower for Arizona black bear when my girlfriend suddenly stops in the forest and says "listen did you here that? Sounded like a snorting noise" the rest of the day I'm just watching my back, head on a swivel, faking like I'm calm lol but without my g20, whats the expression? oh hell no!
@@nodescriptionavailable3842 that's when you use your .45acp gun you brought to shoot her and then let the momma bear eat the nice sweet girlfriend. I mean Ex GF lol
I have the G20 and the G40, the G40 has a KKM barrel with compensator and is amazing to shoot but way to big for CC, great in a chest holster for hunting
I have had different experiences of having different types of pistols honestly I have made my decision to go with Glock and the Glock 20 is my favorite and every day carry
Different gun, sort of, but I recently bought the Glock 21 in .45 acp. I have rather small hands, at least compared to the huge grip on this pistol. I got two grip extensions with mine, both extended beavertails with one having spacers in it that actually does make the grip the size of the original 21 and one that is so thin that it really doesn't matter or make any difference at all. I put the thin one on, shot it for a while and took it back off. As I said, I can't tell the difference in shooting the pistol either way as far as thickness of the grip. I like it so well with it on, both in function and looks I put it back on and it will probably stay on now. Seems to me to improve my grip on the gun as far as how uniform I hold it.
Supposedly the 20 and 21 are exactly the same with different barrels and different mags. I’m sure thicker materials to to handle the extra power of the 10mm round. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I carry a Glock 21 and Glock 20. I swap between the two daily. 45 auto has less of a snap but with the compensator I threw on the 10 it works like a beast
I have G21 gen 4 and did the 10mm conversion. Picked up 3, g20 mags and the kkm 10mm barrel. 2 different calibers in one pistol With a quick barrel and mag swap. I keep the 10mm loaded with Barnes tac-xp 125 grain & the 45 acp with Hornady 165 critical defense.. The 45 barrel & mags have been in the safe since I did the conversion. 10mm is my EDC / H.D gat blaster.
HEY GUYS. I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND WATCHED IT. I WANT TO SAY THAT I FELT THE NEED TO REMIND YOU BOTH, THAT WHILE YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE, THINK WHATEVER YOU LIKE, AND MAKE VIDEOS WITH WHATEVER CONTENT YOU LIKE, IF THIS VIDEOS PURPOSE WAS TO TALK ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF SHOOTING 10 MM FOR FUN, RANGE, OR EVERY DAY CARRY SELF DEFENSE? THAN YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THE FOCUS OF THIS TEST! THE TEST IS ALL ABOUT, IS 10mm COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO HANDLE, CONTROL, AND SHOOT EFFECTIVELY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION FOR SELF DEFENSIVE SITUATIONS????? YES OR NO??? I BELIEVE YOU HAVE BOTH ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS! YES IT IS! HOWEVER! IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE CARRYING 10MM EVERYDAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND TRY TO STOP ANY THREATS TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS? THAN OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL HAVE TO PRACTICE WITH THIS ROUND AND GUN ( THE NEW GEN 5 20 IN 10mm GUNS ARE THEE BEST TO DATE! NOT ONLY IN BRAND, BUT THE GEN 5 20 HAS EVEN STRONGER SPRINGS, AND IMPROVED TRIGGER, AND FRONT SERATIONS TO MAKE THE OPERATION AND SHOOTING EXPERIENCE EVEN BETTER ( MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE COMFORTABLE ) AND THE SIGHTS ON THE NEW GEN5 GLOCKS ARE ALL IMPROVED TOO. ( BUT REMEMBER ALSO IN TERMS OF SHOOTING ANY GUN? THE SHOT IS GOING TO GO WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING! IN 95% OF THE TIMES YOU SHOOT. THE OTHER 5% IS ALL ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF THE PARTICULAR GUN, AND HOW WELL YOU CAN CONTROL IT ) YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT IF YOUR ABILITY. ANOTHER POINT TO CONSIDER HERE IS THE BRAND OF AMMO! AMMO IS ALL DIFFERENT TO SOME DEGREES. YOU CAN FIND A LOWER GRAIN AMMO THAT IS EASIER TO SHOOT AND STILL AS EFFECTIVE AS OTHER AMMO. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH 10mm AMMO THOUGH, IS THE AVAILABILITY OF IT. ITS NOT A CALIBER STOCK PILED BY MOST GUN STORES, SO ORDERING A SUPPLY ON LINE WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST. ONE MORE THING TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A CALIBER? IS ITS OVER ALL EFFECTIVENESS. YOU CAN TAKE ANYONE OUT WITH A SINGLE 22 CALIBER SHOT IF PLACED RIGHT IN THE HEAD! BUT IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO RUN YOU DOWN IN A CAR, VAN, OR TRUCK? A 22, 38, OR 9 IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOU! 357, 45, 10mm, WILL! THE 10MM ROUND WILL LITERALLY STOP A TRACTOR TRAILER IN ITS TRACKS!!! IF YOU CAN HIT THE RADIATOR OR THE DRIVER THROUGH THE WIND SHIELD!? I BELIEVE THE 45 WILL ALSO GO THROUGH A TRACTOR TRAILER RADIATOR, ENGINE PARTS, AND WIND SHIELD TOO. IT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION? AND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM? FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON? A 9mm WITH AN EXACT PLACED SHOT IN THE HEAD? WILL BE EFFECTIVE ENOUGH. BUT IF THERE IS BIG BODY FAT, BIG MUSCLES, BODY ARMOR, SEVERAL LAYERS OF CLOTHING, OR VEHICLES OR CONSTRUCTION OBSTACLES, FROM YOUR ATTACKERS???? A 9mm IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOU!!!! I PERSONALLY LIKE TO BE PREPARED FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING! BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW.. THE 45, AND THE 10MM WILL HELP YOU THROUGH JUST ABOUT ANY POSSIBLE VARIETY OF SITUATIONS AND CONDITIONS! AND FOR ME, THAT IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!! SELF DEFENSE, SELF PRESERVATION, AND SURVIVAL! YOU WANT TO "STOP" THE THREAT/S!!!! SO THAT SHOULD BE EVERYONES FOCUS!
I have this particular Glock I have to say that I’ve never a problem with it and for a 10mm it does manage recoil very well. Sadly I’m in blue Connecticut the land of 10 round max gun control.
@@GSquaredTactical yes I've been a subscriber for sometime. Yes, for one person but however sometimes the bad guy works with others and they're carrying the standard capacity because they care nothing about the obeying the law. You're under no magazine capacity ban in your state I am. Have a great one.
@@GSquaredTactical I’m a retired corrections officer by the way. It’s a felony if you’re caught with a standard capacity magazine. I hate that they Connecticut and other states under this draconian measures exempt law enforcement officials and from this unconstitutional act because this 2A right belongs to all not to just certain classes of people. Moving to a more friendly 2A state is out of the question because I take care of my dear mom stricken with dementia. We’re not as bad as New York Or Commiefornia but a right denied is a right denied. I strongly dislike those two states thumbing their noses at the historical Bruen decision by Clarence Thomas. I thank you for replying back and I will continue to watch and enjoy your channel.
I’ve argued this point with of my gun loving family. IMO, when it comes to handguns, there is No other I would walk through “The Valley” with. And I’ve shot from .22 thro 500 mag. Pretty much all the popular frames. 10mm properly loaded, I cannot see anything more controllable, with one of the greatest capacities. 10mm rides between the .357 and .41 magnum with underwood, etc. lemme know if anyone besides Jerry Mich can unload a revolver as fast and accurately with a Glock 20. G40 is a slower draw but an even more powerful and accurate shot. The True litmus test is simple. What do the majority of Alaskan outfitters carrying now in brown bear territory? Not magnum revolvers. 10mm. Usually a Glock. Accuracy in stressful situations is key. Having well past double the capacity of a revolver, and you being able to lay fell the hell on target. It’s the smart choice. Sorry all you wheel gun lovers. Todays 10mm isn’t your fathers Oldsmobile or revolver. 😂
I sold my Glock 20 a few days after I bought my Springfield XDM Elite compact 10mm last year. The XDM beats it in every way. More accurate, less recoil, smaller, better looking, better sights & trigger, never jammed. A total win!!!!
Imma huge 10mm guy... 2 -1911, Tanfoglio, 2 - Springfield.... I clearly have no intention on ever going Glock 10mm they just don't interest me... I've shot em but nahhhh I'm good
@@GSquaredTactical hey we're all gun guys & for the 2nd amendment that's what matters!!! I'm new to your channel but love all the info & content... I'm subscribed now & will definitely like n share!!!
Springfield xdm 10 smokes the 20. I've got a gen 3 and 4 20 and I have the xdme 3.8 and 4.5. Springfield shoots full power my glocks jam on. Also has standard rifling to shoot hardcast. Metal sights lighter and better feeling trigger. Still like glock in 9mms but got no use for a 10mm that don't shoot the full power reliably. Got to replace the barrel recoil spring mag springs plastic sights and still ain't in the league of the xdm.
That’s what everyone keeps saying I guess I need to break down and buy one for review I just hesitate because I had a bad experience with a Xdm 45 and haven’t ever bought one again. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I’m 99% sure they already have a gen 5 out. My local gun shop was on the phone with one of his vendors and he said….”you have gen 5 G20’s heck yes I want a couple when did that happen?” I haven’t saw them but that what he said. I’ll check his website and see. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I have the same gun and the Glock 40 I think if and when I hope never the crap hits the fan, your gonna want a big gun.10mm at least.it should stop a predator.dont know why people want all the what I call tiny guns.
You know I’ve heard the argument over and over and even saw the ballistics test and while 9mm is impressive compared to years past it still doesn’t have the knockdown of the 45 and 10mm not even close. So I (Gene) for one am with you. I have 9mm and love them fun to shot but for carry I’m on that 45 and 10mm drug. Thanks for watching and commenting
