G20 or some other 10mm flavor?

You should also look at the Springfield XD-M. I bought one when it first came out, great gun. I much prefer the feel in hand when compared to the Glocks, at least the 20 and 29SF of which I owned both. 

 

just another option. 

 

Although I enjoy my Springfield 1911 MC Operator in .45, I am not a fan it their XD series guns. I’ve owned 2. Both were turds even after being sent back for service. I will never purchase another of the XD guns.

Have owned a Glock 20 Gen4 and had the slide milled for RMR.  Several years later my wife bought me a Sig P220 Legion 10mm and I never shot the Glock 20 again and sold it.  Huge difference.  I would recommend checking into some of the various Sig P220's in 10mm.  Much more pleasant to shoot than the tupperware variety.

I am a big fan of Sig. I leaned towards the G20 due to increased capacity and a history of great functionality even in the most fouled adverse conditions.  
 

I’ll give the Sig another look.

That blows and can't blame you for not wanting to give them a try. Mine ran flawless out of the box.

I came pretty close to picking up a Kimber in 10mm a couple of weeks ago but decided against it. I have the bug again though, especially since 10mm is about the only ammo one of the local shops has in stock 

I have a DW 10mm and a SA TRP 10mm.  Both have been excellent pistols with my only problem being  finding 10mm ammo.

The Sig P220 10mm magazines have a capacity of 10.  It's my woods carry gun with a GunfightersINC Kenai chest holster.  The Sig P220 10mm comes in a few different flavors.  Legion, Emperor Scorpion, Nitron, Stainless, Hunter.  I know the Legion and Hunter are still in production, not so sure about the others.

Decided to buy a Glock 20SF 10mm pistol because of price and reputation. I sold it after one trip to the range. The recoil was brutal. Invested in a Sig P220 Hunter 6" 10mm. Totally different felt recoil and now I enjoy shooting the beast, whenever I can find ammo at a reasonable price.

Nice looking Sig!
 

Interesting about your G20 recoil. I have a gen4 and don’t find it bad at all.

I didn't read this whole thread because I'm lazy, so forgive is this is repetitive.  I sold my G20 only to purchase a G29.  I love it.  I love 10mm.  If I were owning simply for shooting purposes I'd have kept the 20 but it was a bit too big to carry for my needs.  I will buy another G20 in the future just because one cannot have too many 10mm guns

In a Glock 20 I never found the recoil to be brutal but the dual recoil spring may absorb a little recoil compared to a gen 3.  However, the gen 3 Glock 20SF was a favorite of my wife years ago. I don’t believe I have ever shot a 29.

I bought a G20 and G29 at the same time. I ended up giving the 29 to my son because I have 3XL hands. I was basically holding onto it with two fingers and a thumb. I shot full power rounds through it alright, but I just didn't like the feeling in my hand. I'm surprised anyone would think that the recoil of a 10mm in a Glock was more harsh than in a steel frame. To each his own, I guess.

I love the 20 but I’ve been thinking about getting a 29 also for backpacking.

I was at bass pro in Memphis at Sycamore view the other day looking for ammo and I made the mistake of looking in the gun counter.  They had a Glock 20 Gen 4 and I couldn’t resist and picked it up.

I have a Gen 4 Grey 20 and a Black 29 Gen 4 I love them both, my G20 handles the hottest Underwood ammo with no issues, you will love it

Great minds think alike

I’ve been wanting a S&W 1006.  Hard to find. 

[billyblazes]

Still waiting on one of my 3 local Blue Label dealers to receive a G20.  In the meantime I ordered the Magnum Research DE1911G10.  No telling when it will come in though.

[Mowgli Terry]

I never found my G20-3 or lamented G29-3 to be difficult. I have run many, many,  round through my G20. Neither of those guns proved to unbearable.

For me to get full use out of any center fire handgun it's necessary to reload. Also, the G20 and G29 have been with us for years. Wonder how many of today's wonder 10's will be around in 5 years.

If I have the hots for those other guns I'd make sure to get plenty of extra magazines.  Also, save the original box as it may make the guns more desirable to the collector.  Glock's are made to shoot.

[Thursty]

I prefer the G20 for barrel availability, I generally run an aftermarket barrel with better chamber support because I reload ‘em hot. I’ve split a few cases in a factory Glock barrel, but I’ve yet to split one in a Lone Wolf or Storm Lake barrel.

I just picked up a G29, so time will tell on that, but the G20 seems the best do it all gun. Even at 5’6 and 160 I can still conceal it if I need to, and it makes a great woods/hunting gun. 

[John_Cea]

It's hard to choose of both good you know but i'll recommend the g20 cause it's good tho.

[Kimber451911]

I have a 20SF as well as a 29SF. That 29SF barks AND bites!  

I really like my Glock 10mm’s
