I too also have 2 Glock 20s. 3 serial numbers apart. Got them from my Grandfather when he died. They are first gen but handle perfectly. They are the reason I'm a 10mm fan now. Even have matching holsters for them, if I ever want to be over powered.
I couldn’t tell the difference either. About the same slide mass reciprocating in the Gen 3 and Gen 4. The recoil in 10mm happens too fast to notice any difference in my opinion. The G20 is among my favorite Glocks.
I had a Gen 4 G20 10mm and I loved the finger grooves coming back, the three magazines (although, I bought from a Pawn Shop and it only had one mag, why a person who is pawning a firearm, needs magazines for a gun they no longer have is beyond me, unless they want a Gen 5 or future generations). I love the gel cushioned side grips. I really enjoyed it, but even with the double recoil spring and the full size barrel and frame, it had a decent kick to it. I would say stick to the best generation, which is, IMO, the best. It even single cycled .40 S&W but I only did that for a few mags worth of ammunition toot fuck up the extractor, which broke on my Beretta PX4 Storm .45 ACP, great gun, well Beretta, so goes without saying. The Gen 5 has no new or added safety features, no finger grooves and only is differentiated by the ambidextrous slide release button, which has sucked on all Glocks, they should make it more beefy. Quality firearm, nevertheless.
@@davsny5they did beef it up a bit on the gen 5. Also gen 5 has a more accurate barrel, and if you're a good shooter you'll notice the difference as the gen 5 barrels group better, and the gen 5 triggers are improved over gen 1-4.
@@godsfriend4120 Never. I Have never had a Glock malfunction in any way. I have Sigs, S&W’s, Berettas. They all malfunction once in a while. Not a Glock. Not the best bullseye shooters, but in a gunfight, I’ll take the Glock.

@@moneygettaextraordinar722 I want to and will own a Glock at some point because of their historical significance. Make real good guns that work very reliably (shoot without a problem the overwhelmingly vast majority of the time). But I think, personally, that if Gaston's last name had been Johnson or Wagner, etc. they might not be in business anymore unless the guns were at WalMart for $299. Which would be a heck of a deal for a gun of Glock's quality though at that price. Need a longer finger nail to operate one of those plastic parts though. Glock makes good guns. But has the best name of anybody in history to pull out in the hood lol. I want one as I said for sure but it wont be my go to in a self defense situation. keemy.
I have both gens in 10mm. I prefer the gen3 because it’s so much easier to choose different recoil springs and guide rods for the various hotter loads. The gen3 just gives one more options based on the load one chooses to carry. For regular factory loads, I keep my Gen 4 loaded with them. For hotter DoubleTap, underwood or BuffaloBore, I prefer the gen3 all day long. Currently my gen3 has a stainless uncaptive guide rod with a wolff 22lb spring, loaded with 200gr DoubleTap lead hardcast bullets. It’s my last ditch bear backup gun on bear rifle hunts.
@Jon C every gun jams every once in awhile. Lol Hickok knows that, that why he said limp wrist. In this scenario, that’s exactly what it was. Try shooting any striker fired gun down at the stomach with your left hand. You will get a limp wrist if your not hulking the grip.
My brother is a retired lieutenant in our town of Ogden Utah police Dept and during the change over to Glocks. He also taught hand gun to other cops. At first he didn't like the Glocks but has learned to love them. I have a 9 mm 1911 Colt combat commander that I like but only shot one Glock. Nice work as usual man. Like it!

Hickok45 has big hands. To a mere mortal like myself, the gen3 G20 grip, even the SF version, was too big to get a comfortable grip on. My gen4, with the smallest backstrap installed, is perfect for me. I love it, it’s now my favorite Glock. Apropos to nothing, I just rewatched Strain 100, just to see the ending. You are a great actor, sir.
I have a gen 4 G31. Kept getting stoppages at the range and it took me a while to figure out what was happening. Gen 4’s (and 5’s) decided to improve on perfection and move the mag release back a bit and make it enormous. Apparently I was inadvertently bumping the mag release somehow. Slap the bottom of mag and back in battery. Got home and added the next up size back strap and problem solved. Has not happened since.

Love my Glock 10mms. The best difference I can tell between the Gen 3 and 4 comes down to the grip texture, mag release and the trigger. I love the Gen 4 grip and longer mag release, but the Gen 3 trigger is just easier to get a better, smoother pull out of with less work.

I also own a Gen 3 20SF and a Gen 4 20 and cannot feel any difference between them. I also have 40 S&W barrels for them and cannot tell any difference with that caliber. I also own some Glock 9mm's in Gen 3 & 4, again, no difference that I can feel. I have a Gen 4 21 in 45 acp, but do not have a Gen 3 mate to compare that one with.

Getting one of these soon for a woods gun. I have a sig 365xl and a Glock 23 gen 4. I carry the Glock with a holosun, backup trijicon sights, streamlight trl-8g and talon grip.

I have the Glock 29, Glock 20, Glock 30, and Glock 21. I enjoy them all. My group use the Glock 21 and 30 as carry guns. The 30 is for on body carry and the 21 for off body carry in my go bag.

@@dmonster1528 as I live in a rural area, they already have for many years. As I said, the sheriff’s departments have selected this as their duty side arm. In Los Angeles where I lived for a large part of my life LAPD has chosen this as one of their duty side arms. There are many mountainous areas and deserts areas there and in all these varied rural areas these firearms work flawlessly. Although I must say my 2 favorite side arms are 1911s and S&W 3rd Gen Stainless steel side arms in .40 and .45 ACP. For a time these were issued to LAPD and CHP(Califorina Highway Patrol). I hope this answers your question(s)
@@dmonster1528 I own 3 Glock 21s and 30s. These are part of a self defense system. I also own the Glock 20 and 29. The reason has to do with defense in a court of law. On advise from firearms Attorneys both in Los Angeles and here in on the Gulf Coast of Florida they recommend using the firearms and ammo as the typical Deputy/Officer. This has to do with the ability to defend your choice of firearm and caliber if you have to defend yourself from an attack and they again defend yourself in a court of law. Speak with a firearms attorney in your area and see what they say. As stated above, my favorite side arms are 1911s and S&W 3rd Gen Stainless Steel handguns in .40 and .45 ACP but that is not what law enforcement use in my area and in Los Angeles. FYI - LAPD SWAT use 1911 specially design and built for them. When I was training with members of that team I used 1911s and S&W 3rd Gen .45 ACP. The S&W handguns are still authorize on duty side arms for patrol officers I hope this answer your questions.
@@k4vms I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. The reason this is so near and dear to my heart is i have a gen 4 g21 with about 100 rounds thru it and i think the world of it. Previously i had a g30 never fired it and sold it for half the price bc i wanted something with longer grip and barrel length. B4 that i had a .40 smith wesson and my very first was a hi point lol Anyway its come to my attention that the g20 in 10mm is getting a lot of attention. As it's the most powerful glock in production. The capacity is a little better. Is there a big difference in recoil between the 21 and 20? If it was based on pure performance which one do you prefer? I really like how the 21 performs with the right hollow points. The 20 has the best penetration of any caliber i've seen. I'm really stubborn about my guns having to be brand new. If i was able to purchase a 20 but it meant losing my 21 what advice would you give me? I live in the city but i would like to hunt occasionally lol I'm so thankful for ur help and if u read all this crap then I'll be looking forward to hearing your opinion. I think I've turned it to a gun fanatic lol 2nd amendment and all that lol
My Glock 20 is a Gen 4, totally love the firearm. 10mm is a beast of a round, and a great all around round, I like shooting my 10mm even more than shooting my .44 magnum because I like the feel of that hard upward snap.
Would absolutly get one except for that every five years I need to prove that I used every single handgun I competition otherwise I'm forced to sell. You guys have it good in the US and A
Just got a g20sf a few months ago and man I love it! So much heavy massive firepower! I'm loading 9 grains of longshot under 180 xtp or 180 everglades and those are badass clocking 1280 fps outta the stock barrel and 1380 outta my 6 inch kkm barrel. Its just awesome.
Actually, it's the other way around. You can find a large array of recoil spring weights for the Gen 3, up to a 24# spring and everything in between. As a matter of fact, many convert their Gen 4's to the Gen 3 recoil spring system, or at least they use to. The flat wire recoil spring on the Gen 3's will go a long way before you need to replace them.
Love the videos. Have 12 min left on this one then off to watch Sun shoot Around 116. That's a lot of Sundays. Also not poking fun but I may have watched one or two videos where your hat brim was not crooked! Thank you kind Sir!
Ha, ha! At 12:06, you say "I'll shoot a couple at long range too whether hit or not." And the next four shots went right to the distant gong. You are one of a kind, sir!
I’ve owned gen2-5, the difference is the modularity of backstraps/grip sizes and the fact that almost every pistol is converting to duel springs. Gen4 is my preferred generation but I love them all except for gen5. The only next gen I like is 43X and 48.
It's funny that you made this video right now. I have been deciding between a Glock 20 and a Glock 29 and I am leaning towards the G20. Now I don't know which generation Glock 20 to get, the Gen3 or Gen4. Maybe you should have waited until you put the Talon grips on the Gen 4 before you attempted this comparison. Maybe you could try it again once you get the grips put on. 👍
G29 is pointless as a 10mm for EDC or woods carry. Get the slim frame (SF) G20 it's concealable and has full 15rd loads. Gen 3 very reliable, cheaper, and easiest to find custom parts. Gen 4 reliable and comes with Match grade barrel but not as customizeable at the moment. Either one you cant go wrong.
Love my G29SF as a edc/woods carry piece slapped on the talon grips and piece grip ext made good bit of difference in grip for me but if you feel like the g20 is a better fit go for it cant go wrong either way.
Hickok,,,,after reviewing & pausing video to measure recoil & muzzle flip/jump it is VERY clear that gen4 has considerably less muzzle jump & recoil,,,but it all boils down to individual shooter & how they perceive it & interpret recoil,,,,nice video,,,thanks..
Man is it nice there I listening to that bird out there. Sounds like New England a bit I grew up in Maine living in Vegas now. Been watching your videos all morning lmao! Great stuff man i see you enjoy the classics a lot. I’m the new innovative type guy lol
I just posted a mag dump of my Glock 20 and good ol' Hickock had to out-do me with TWO Glock 20s lol... man these things are so fun to shoot. The power with capacity is amazing.
Good video. I have the Gen 4, 20 but no access to a G3 for comparison. BTW, kudos to John for giving us a shot of your cool, "Hickok 45 Glock" holster. Really nice!

Me to im trying to decide which one i want
@@jimwest1967 the answer is always both
@@jimwest1967 if you ever have to deal with S&W customer service you will regret buying the M&P. The chances are high too because they have very poor quality control.
@@fatoni698 i own M&Ps. Though ive never had to deal with customer service till recently. Havent had a problem with them yet
M&P has too much recoil. There's a substantial difference recorded and video'd by multiple TH-camrs about the topic. Better off with Glock or Springfield 10mm line.
You Sir, are a gift to us all. Please keep 'em coming...
Love the 10mm btw.
Getting one of these soon for a woods gun. I have a sig 365xl and a Glock 23 gen 4. I carry the Glock with a holosun, backup trijicon sights, streamlight trl-8g and talon grip. But I do carry the sig every once in awhile. But in my area, there are SOME bears. And when I go camping I need something bigger than a .40. Gonna have to find a gen 3 Glock 20.
You have grizzlies?
@@Wildwestwrangler no thankfully, just black bears. They are usually pretty passive but every once in awhile, you’ll run into the odd starving or protective bear.
@@deepb249 I use them all the time . Have way more fun shooting guns then getting an ice cream cone like an 8 year old.
Why the Gen 3 over the Gen 4?
@@jaytay7989 it’s cheaper lol there’s really no difference
In just two seconds of the video, he started shooting. Awesome 👍
Even watching you shoot I 👀 no different between the two generation G20's. But it's a BIG difference with the 180 American eagle than those trophy bonded loads ‼️
Tough part about buying 10mm range ammo. So much of it is just loaded to .40 S&W specs.
This man just duel wielded 2 10mm handguns. legendary
Glock Gen 3 10mm best gun .
HICKOK45 FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Both are outstanding service weapons.
I have the Glock 29, Glock 20, Glock 30, and Glock 21. I enjoy them all. My group use the Glock 21 and 30 as carry guns. The 30 is for on body carry and the 21 for off body carry in my go bag. There are several reason we choose these firearms for that purpose, cost, reliability, and in my part of the country the Glock and in particular the 21 and 30 are the choose of LEOs in this area.
I enjoy your channel very much
Ricky from IBM, Ret
I really appreciate ur input! Why choose the 21 and 30 opposed to a 20 and 29 🤔
Would ur 21 hold up in the woods?
@@dmonster1528 as I live in a rural area, they already have for many years. As I said, the sheriff’s departments have selected this as their duty side arm. In Los Angeles where I lived for a large part of my life LAPD has chosen this as one of their duty side arms. There are many mountainous areas and deserts areas there and in all these varied rural areas these firearms work flawlessly. Although I must say my 2 favorite side arms are 1911s and S&W 3rd Gen Stainless steel side arms in .40 and .45 ACP. For a time these were issued to LAPD and CHP(Califorina Highway Patrol). I hope this answers your question(s)
@@dmonster1528 I own 3 Glock 21s and 30s. These are part of a self defense system. I also own the Glock 20 and 29. The reason has to do with defense in a court of law. On advise from firearms Attorneys both in Los Angeles and here in on the Gulf Coast of Florida they recommend using the firearms and ammo as the typical Deputy/Officer. This has to do with the ability to defend your choice of firearm and caliber if you have to defend yourself from an attack and they again defend yourself in a court of law. Speak with a firearms attorney in your area and see what they say. As stated above, my favorite side arms are 1911s and S&W 3rd Gen Stainless Steel handguns in .40 and .45 ACP but that is not what law enforcement use in my area and in Los Angeles. FYI - LAPD SWAT use 1911 specially design and built for them. When I was training with members of that team I used 1911s and S&W 3rd Gen .45 ACP. The S&W handguns are still authorize on duty side arms for patrol officers
I hope this answer your questions.
@@k4vms I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. The reason this is so near and dear to my heart is i have a gen 4 g21 with about 100 rounds thru it and i think the world of it. Previously i had a g30 never fired it and sold it for half the price bc i wanted something with longer grip and barrel length. B4 that i had a .40 smith wesson and my very first was a hi point lol Anyway its come to my attention that the g20 in 10mm is getting a lot of attention. As it's the most powerful glock in production. The capacity is a little better. Is there a big difference in recoil between the 21 and 20? If it was based on pure performance which one do you prefer? I really like how the 21 performs with the right hollow points. The 20 has the best penetration of any caliber i've seen. I'm really stubborn about my guns having to be brand new. If i was able to purchase a 20 but it meant losing my 21 what advice would you give me? I live in the city but i would like to hunt occasionally lol I'm so thankful for ur help and if u read all this crap then I'll be looking forward to hearing your opinion. I think I've turned it to a gun fanatic lol 2nd amendment and all that lol
Kept tapping the rewind to get that opening rapid fire from the world famous Kentucky gunslinger.😉✌️
Nice and GREEN for the day of release.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! 🍀🍀🍀
Hickok45 is the man. 🤙🏾🤙🏾. Learned so much from this old timer. Got me into guns and Glock specifically. God bless. 👍🏽
You should have a tutorial on shooting. One of the best in the business without optics, scopes, red dots , green dots , night vision’s 😂😂😂.
The Glock 20 is by far my favorite glock, the 10mm is powerful enough to stop large animals and attackers, such a great round
Wolff spring and metal guide rod. Better than both stock options for RSA and stone cold reliable.
Gen 3 better by far then a gen 4
My Glock 20 is a Gen 4, totally love the firearm. 10mm is a beast of a round, and a great all around round, I like shooting my 10mm even more than shooting my .44 magnum because I like the feel of that hard upward snap.
It just feels right
Now that's how to start a video right there!!! It was great to meet you, Keep in touch for sure!
Thanks. It was great to visit your shop there in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, as well as enjoy the beach "scenery." :-)
Would absolutly get one except for that every five years I need to prove that I used every single handgun I competition otherwise I'm forced to sell. You guys have it good in the US and A

@@la-li-lu-le-lo9444 oh cmon its obv a borat reference
Gen3 Barstow barrel
Shoots great
Always love watching your reviews thanks
Man Hickok....you literally read my mind...recently had to make this decision. You rock, Hickok!
Hey Hickok how about a round 2 glock 20 vs 1911 10mm
Love your channel man!
Just got a g20sf a few months ago and man I love it! So much heavy massive firepower! I'm loading 9 grains of longshot under 180 xtp or 180 everglades and those are badass clocking 1280 fps outta the stock barrel and 1380 outta my 6 inch kkm barrel. Its just awesome.
Actually, it's the other way around. You can find a large array of recoil spring weights for the Gen 3, up to a 24# spring and everything in between. As a matter of fact, many convert their Gen 4's to the Gen 3 recoil spring system, or at least they use to. The flat wire recoil spring on the Gen 3's will go a long way before you need to replace them.
What about the oem recoil spring 17 pounds for 200 grain ?
I like my gen3 Glocks purly for the finishes they had are more durable then the newer ones
Love my gen 4 G20
I have the gen 4 g20 and love it. best glock ever🙏🏽
Like Elliot Ness, The Untouchables 🤣
Love the videos. Have 12 min left on this one then off to watch Sun shoot Around 116. That's a lot of Sundays.
Also not poking fun but I may have watched one or two videos where your hat brim was not crooked! Thank you kind Sir!
Grandpa wick
Love my Glock 20 good video Hickock!!!! fellow Tennesseein checking in
Having owned both gens I prefer Gen 3. The frame feels like it's better quality and the tenifer slide can't be beat.
Hitting that gong ( 4 for 4) at that distance with a semi automatic is impressive. Good review. Thanks
Glock 20 Gen 4 was my first gun
That’s quite the gun to start out with
@@vic2796 I knew I wanted a 10mm and this shop had a gold and bronze cerakoted G20. Definitely don’t regret my decision. Now I have a 43X and 40
Love your good honest reviews. Thank you!
Ha, ha! At 12:06, you say "I'll shoot a couple at long range too whether hit or not." And the next four shots went right to the distant gong. You are one of a kind, sir!
Love my 20SF (only Glock I like), great to see you reviewing them
I own the Gen 3 SF and it shoots Great......thanks for the Video.......🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
I’ve owned gen2-5, the difference is the modularity of backstraps/grip sizes and the fact that almost every pistol is converting to duel springs. Gen4 is my preferred generation but I love them all except for gen5. The only next gen I like is 43X and 48.
I didnt like my 48. Finish was too slick . Love my gen 4 20 tho
What don’t you like about the gen5? Just curious
What's wrong with Gen 5?
Why is Gen 4 superior?
It's funny that you made this video right now. I have been deciding between a Glock 20 and a Glock 29 and I am leaning towards the G20. Now I don't know which generation Glock 20 to get, the Gen3 or Gen4. Maybe you should have waited until you put the Talon grips on the Gen 4 before you attempted this comparison. Maybe you could try it again once you get the grips put on. 👍
G29 is pointless as a 10mm for EDC or woods carry. Get the slim frame (SF) G20 it's concealable and has full 15rd loads. Gen 3 very reliable, cheaper, and easiest to find custom parts. Gen 4 reliable and comes with Match grade barrel but not as customizeable at the moment. Either one you cant go wrong.
@@fight4ourright306
Thanks very much for the insight, I will probably be taking your advice. I really appreciate it. 👍
Love my G29SF as a edc/woods carry piece slapped on the talon grips and piece grip ext made good bit of difference in grip for me but if you feel like the g20 is a better fit go for it cant go wrong either way.
Hickok,,,,after reviewing & pausing video to measure recoil & muzzle flip/jump it is VERY clear that gen4 has considerably less muzzle jump & recoil,,,but it all boils down to individual shooter & how they perceive it & interpret recoil,,,,nice video,,,thanks..
Im in awe to how green it is there already. Where I'm at the snow still has a bit melting left and we wont see leaves until about end of April.
Man is it nice there I listening to that bird out there. Sounds like New England a bit I grew up in Maine living in Vegas now. Been watching your videos all morning lmao! Great stuff man i see you enjoy the classics a lot. I’m the new innovative type guy lol
I just posted a mag dump of my Glock 20 and good ol' Hickock had to out-do me with TWO Glock 20s lol... man these things are so fun to shoot. The power with capacity is amazing.
Good video. I have the Gen 4, 20 but no access to a G3 for comparison. BTW, kudos to John for giving us a shot of your cool, "Hickok 45 Glock" holster. Really nice!
Would love to see a Hickok 45 review of the new M&P 10mm.
I have both of these glocks very powerful
I have so many different caliber handguns now. Do I want to add another caliber? I have to think about it.
I have handguns chambered in most common calibers. And several in 22lr. I figure if things ever do go sideways, I'll be able to aquire ammo for some of them
@@shadowwolf2524 That is one way to look at it.
