Glock 20 or 29 what Gen??

Featured Replies

So after a few weeks of research I've finally decided. I'm looking at the g20 or29 with 29 being my top so far. I'm trying to shoot them side by side but my buddy with the 29 has a new story every time I call. Out the door I'm ordering that. Lone wolf 10mm replacement for hardcast bullets and the 45 replacement. If I go 29 ill also order 14 rd clips with extension mod. Rounds will be bulk target rds mostly 45 for fun. 10mm double tap 180 gr hps for the home.. and 10mm 230 gr hardcast for Alaska when ever it is I get to go :/

 

Now I'm at my question one does this sound about right?? Versatile and effective. Also what Gen I've been told stay away from Gen 4 but I like new so I ask you the pros what Gen flock 20 or 29 would you get??

I have a gen 3 waiting. I am used to 3rd gens plus i didnt like the way the 4 felt

I would go 3rd gen; As i can't stand the 4th's. Last week at bayonne pistol range i had my glock 20 and averagejoe next to me with his glock 29 you woulda had a blast! blue you missed out brother. And dont ask ray ray cause he claims 10mm or go home but he has never owned one =)

Lol. Any preference between 20 29 I figure same gun one is concealment

I have owned both. The compact Glock 29 never fit very well In my hands, especially with hot loads. The Glock 20 was a great shooter and it's soaked up recoil better than any other 10 millimeter gun I owned.

FYI, i dont think the glock 20 or 29 can be converted to 45 acp. However the 45acp models can be converted to 10mm, due to the outside diameter of the barrel. I have the gen 3 g20 and love it. I want to get a 29 down the road, but if I had to do it all over again I'd still get the 20 first if that helps

Then i may just have to get a 50 gi conversion. Lol

 

Your unreal

X2, the g29 can be converted to 40sw,357 sig and 9x25 dillon

Lolol.... almost positive the 20 can go 45 lone wolf

this is very true! you gotta adjust your grip big time for the g29, also remember the g20 3rd generation has a very thick grip, so if you have big hands your good, small hands you better get the 4th gen. with the backstraps. oh and get some underwood ammo, priced better than buffalo and double tap with true velocities.

Ok if I were to go 4th Gen 29sf with extended mag (pinky grip thing lol) would I be losing any velocity with a shorter barrel.. or if I went 20 SF compensation would I lose velocity from the compensation?? Just asking so I know.

I think I like the concealment of the 29 ( not for jersey of course) but I would need to put my pinky some where. I have paws.. lifter hands with Med size fingers fat and short wont mix well. Hands guys hands.. :wub: good replys. Can't lie I hated flocks untilled I shot one.. dirty crap ammo was used to prove a point.. the guns cycle

Last question and most important who in north Jersey carries the 10mm I've driven all over going to the local shops and no one had the 20 or 29 let alone 10mm ammo.:wacko:

The Glock 20/29 is a brick of a gun! If you want a carry 10mm Dan Wesson Cbob if you can find one is a commander size 1911 with a bobtail

Give Chris at Bullseye Tactical in Woodbridge a call. That's where I picked up my 20. Great shooter!

I owned the Dan Wesson CBOB (predecessot to VBOB). It is a very well made gun, but I felt that full power 10mm was slowly beating it to death. I came to the conclusion that 10mm is a no go in a Commander length or shorter 1911. Rock Island Armory is now making a full length 1911 in 10mm. That is intriguing, considering all the other 1911's in 10mm cost 2-3X as much (Kimber, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat).

Lolol.... almost positive the 20 can go 45 lone wolf

 

almost positive it cant lol.

 

Try lawmen supply company, they are in south jersey tho. That is where i got my g20.

 

also there would be no velocity lose from the 20 SF, its not compensated, the g20c is.

Dont forget about the delta elite! still twice as much tho lol

I shot an all metal 10mm and it was alot rougher than shooting my glock 20, not sure if its the bigger grip, the polymer but it was nicer for sure...

Having owned about every 10mm I could find at one point or another (S&W 1066, Colt Delta, Witness and three Glock 20) I came to the conclusion that in 10mm the G20 is about the finest design of a 10mm handgun ever produced. By the way I have also extensively shot a g29... I would never own one. It is a CC weapon that is inaccurate and bulky. That was enough for me, other CC weapons can work just as well if not better. I find accuracy and speed to be most important in a CCW, then concealability.

 

But enough diversion... the G20 Gen 3 is probably the finest hunting or wood SD weapon ever produced. It gives you indestructible build quality, accuracy, power, weight and 15rds of bad mojo. It is the ultimate deep woods firearm. The G20 soaks up 10mm recoil better then any steel platform, it weighs about 2/3s of the steel guns and I have NEVER ... EVER had a FTE or FTF with a G20. An I have shot alot of 10mm through these guns. I have taken two south georgia wild hogs with my g20 and both animal dropped on the spot, no fuss but with some mess of course.

 

I still own that gen 3 g20 only thing I added was 3.5# trigger bar, which I quickly removed and went back to the standard.... bought it used for $350 with Night Sites at a gun show sometime around 2000. I have never purchased a NIB g20... you can find NEVER shot or BARELY shot ones for sale all the time if your patient. People buy them for just in case the go fishing in Canada thoughts, put them in their closets for two years then covet a 1911 and sell them. Or they find out they really dont like 10mm recoil or expense. Go find a used g20, dont swap barrels out or do anything to it

 

By the way, look up Georgia Arms for their 10mm Canned Heat range and SD rounds. Have it shipped directly to your door.

Picked up my G20 at Mike's in Fairview. Went with the Gen 3 SF model, same size as the G21. Fits my hand great and very accurate. I've been trying out various ammo including full loads from DoubleTap, Underwood and Buffalo Bore and lite loads from Remington and CCI Blazer.

Did you see any of the 500 dollar lowers in there that he is gouging

No I didn't. At the time I wasn't in the market or looking at those.

I love my g20 but I really like the delta elite, its amazingly accurate. For SD, the durability and round capacity of the g20 is awesome, but for the range it goes to the delta for me.

 

as for swapping the barrels, I did with the lone wolf for shooting lead reloads and better case support when shooting max loads (which is pretty much all I shoot) and have had no issues with it

Awesome thanks all.. at least I know my round .. now I just need to hunt one down and hold them.. still undecided about 29 and 20.. I'm not a super gun Guy. I'm more a hunter in NJ I'd rather buy a mLoader over an A.R. so I plan on buying two hand guns total.. A 10mm and a 38. Revolver for the wife then I'm done....I think :huh:

For hunting, a 10mm with 200 grain (or higher) hardcast bullets from DoubleTap woul be hard to beat. Don't limit yourself to 38 special either. Get a 357mag and you can shoot either round through it. You can't do that with a 38.

 

Being a 10mm guy and hand-loader, if you're looking for a 10mm to hunt with I would personally ditch the thought of a Glock and seek out a long barrel S&W 610 with optic. If you hand-load 10mm, you have absolute endless possibilities for tailoring!
