    That's what I was thinking.

I'm about to pick one up as well.  I fondled one the other day and liked it enough to decide to buy one.  The trigger is actually really good IMO and it feels great in the hands.  It felt as good as the VP9 I held.  The decocker is a non issue to me.  It really took some pressure for me to actuate it and I can't imagine it would decock the gun accidentally.     Yeager did a video on it and has a few in rotation for his training classes.  He claims that nobody has ever accidentally decocked one.     At it's price point, I feel like it's a great value.  

I got one as a Christmas present and I love it.  I've put about 300rds through it so far with no malfunctions.  It carries like a dream too....super thin and lightweight.    I'm going to check out those mag gut kits as well.  Never heard of em before.

  Hah!  I like that.       But of course!  You aren't a real man if you don't own a 1911 in .45, no?

What if I told you I own M&P's, Glocks, and Rugers?  Does that make me a freak?

    I've had one for several years now and love it.  It's a great press and Hornady's customer service rivals Dillon's.  I've broken a part or two and they send replacements free of charge even though it was my fault and I told them so.  Caliber changes are really quick with Hornady's bushing system.  Switching calibers with same size primer takes a matter of seconds.    I really can't think of anything to complain about.    With all that said, I'm sure you would be happy with the Dillon also.  They have a strong following

    Yep, I totally understand.  I just really don't want the extra length and weight.  Plus I just won a gen 3 SF on gunbroker for $430 so I can stomach paying $145 for the slide milling a little easier.

    I want an RMR on mine, so I'll either be sending it for the slide cut or buying a dovetail mount.  I started a thread about getting your slide machined a little while ago, so if you are interested take a look. 

    It actually makes a lot of sense.  Do you have any experience with suppressors to base your opinion?  The muzzle blast of 10mm is intense, as well as any centerfire pistol of any caliber.  Not that I need to justify it, but hunting with suppressors is great.  Obviously you aren't going to wear ear pro the whole time because you need to hear game coming in.  You likely won't have time to throw muffs on before taking a shot, so suppressors do the work for you.  I like being able to take a shot without my ears ringing for half a day. 

I was debating G20 vs. G40 a few weeks ago as well.  I've decided on the 20 for multiple reasons, some of which may not apply to you, including suppressor use.  Add a suppressor onto a 6" barrel and you have quite a long setup.  The 20 is lighter and shorter, thus more appropriate for suppressor use.  You also do not give up much in the way of speed with a 4.6" vs 6" barrel.  According to ballistics by the inch, using a Hornady 200xtp, you only lose approximately 69 fps.  This number hardly makes it worth the added length/weight to me.  Plus, I can gain most of it back by tweaking handloads :rock:   Once again, your intended use is a little different and you may really feel the need to get that extra 69 fps. 

    Excellent.  Thank you.

    Comms - I'll likely be acquiring a G20 very soon and will be handloading some nuclear ammo for it.  Are you running the factory barrel?  If so, have you noticed any ill effects from not having a fully supported chamber?  Excessive case bulge or anything like that?   I'm planning on getting a gen 3 SF for what it's worth.

    I actually talked to Tom on Friday.  He said if I got it to him pretty soon, he could have it back to me in 3 weeks.  They will also be offering pre-cut slides for the G20, but he said they won't be in production until 2nd quarter 2016.    I've also thought about doing something like this:  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/448637/trijicon-rmr-pistol-mount-glock-matte   Seems like a good non permanent solution although it would put the sight a little higher and you would lose back up sights.

    I'm semi (no pun intended) in the market myself.  I don't believe you will find anything FA for 3k.  Even Mac's are pushing 5-6k now.  I had intended on getting a m11 9mm, but at those prices I may end up saving a bit more for an UZI.   Take a look here:  http://dealernfa.com/

  Mind posting a pic of your G20 setup?   If I'm reading them correctly, $145 includes milling AND plain black suppressor sights? Without refinishing the slide that is.  Seems like a great deal.

    Santa bought me a shield too, but I don't get to touch it till Christmas.  Looking forward to shooting/carrying it.  Santa went with 9mm...so I hear.

  You can.   http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=175327&CAT=237   But, yes, it would be a very long setup....hence the preference for a 20 with RMR.  

    What was the turnaround time?  They quote 16-24 weeks on the website. 

    Well it's not so much the weight of the gun alone, but I'll be using a suppressor quite a bit so length comes into play there too.  Another inch or so and another ounce or so adds up.  It seems like the 20 would be a more manageable package with a can on the end. 

So, I want a 10mm glock with an RMR on top.  I like the idea of a G40 MOS but it seems hefty to be carrying around the woods.  I would prefer to have a G20, but I was wondering who to send it to and how much it would cost to get the slide cut for an RMR?   Since we are on the topic, has anyone tried the Burris fastfire?  That would be a little more affordable if it will hold up to 10mm abuse.  

    I'll have to check my notes when I get home, but it may not help you because I'm using an aftermarket Silencerco barrel.

I've used them for quiet suppressor loads.  I used 2.8gr HP-38....soft shooting and really quiet.  Functioned fine out of a G17 and a 1911.

  No battlefields.  He's not basing it solely on this test....was on the fence anyway.

I was pretty shocked it failed right away as well.  I expected more from HK.   My brother is in the market and looking at the VP9 as an option.  I sent him the video and he's now leaning more toward a G17.   I agree the test was extreme at the end, but falling in a mud hole?  Hell, that is completely plausible. 

    Well my ruger ranch in 223 shoots MOA or better with the right ammo, and the other samples I've seen do the same.  Trigger is much better than the Axis trigger in my opinion.   Either way, both will work fine for deer at <200yds.
