What an awesome review. I have the Glock 30S and now I want the Glock 20 Gen 4 only because of this review. Awesome job. I'm a Glock guy and I respect all pistols but definitely love Glock. Awesome job. Keep up the great work. I will definitely be getting the Glock 20 Gen 4 due to this review
Thank you. We also have a review on the Glock 40 (not really truly "new" anymore, but the latest in their 10mm series). The G20 is good for most anything you want to do, the G40 is cool if you want the biggest, baddest Glock there is.
@@TheBadassOne17 I like to run underwood ammo myself, when I use it for my edc I generally carry there 180 grain jhp, when I'm looking for a hunting/ animal defence round i like there 220 grain hard cast, or there extreme Penetrator rounds. But glock doesn't suggest shooting hard cast through there oem barrels
@@MrMooreOG i have a holster from huckleberry tactical right now, one of the few company's that I could find to make an iwb light bearing holster with a red dot
Hi Hammer Striker! As a novice, I'm enjoying your videos and finding them quite insightful. My family and I intend on camping a lot more here in Arizona, nothing too out of the way but there's plenty of space out here. I want to be prepared and protected and I've been doing my research about the best "camp caliber" if you will and I've landed on either the .357 mag (probably the Taurus mod 66) or the Glock G20 10mm. Which would you suggest considering my use and geography? Thank you for any insight you provide!!
Adam, I would go with the 10mm over the .357. In 10mm you have higher capacity, the ability to dispatch any predator you are likely to encounter (2 or 4 legs) and the ease of faster reloads. With the ability to load hot or mild 10mm rounds you can balance between range and defense to enjoy shooting it. Personally, I prefer the Glocks and the Glock 20 or Glock 29 would be excellent all-around defense/range/camp/hunt guns. I have taken my 20 and 29 on wild boar hunts with full confidence it will get the job done.
We have a couple other 10mm videos that you may find interesting. The Glock 29, and a comparison between the G20 and the G29. As well as the big ol Glock 40 MOS. You can find them in our Glock playlist. Happy shopping and if you have any other questions just let us know.
I appreciate the video - to the point and educational. I've been wanting a 10mm auto for years, and just now getting to it. Your vid helped me 'pull the trigger' on the sale. Thank you.
I can't figure out why ammo manufacturers do not flood the market with 10mm ammo. The prices would go down. And the demand would be comparable to other calibers. I could use a box of 500-1,000 rnds. of ammo at a time. They are suppose to come out with a Gen 5 single stack in 10mm. Full size & compact version.
That Glock 20 can handle that 10 mm cartridge like no other hand gun in the market. Okay, I might be a bit bias since I also own one, and I am very pleased with it's performance. Good break down on the spec's info...
Jose Hernandez I have a Gen 4 21 with a 20 Oem Glock & a Alfa wolf threaded barrel the dual springs are the same at 17lbs the lower is the same the only thing I changed was the extractor & bought 2 10mm magazines
I stick to the Gen3s because you can tune the recoil spring weight. That can be more important with 10mm so you don't get wide velocity spreads with heavy loads.
Lived in AK 15 years. I wouldn’t want any handgun against a grizzly. I would take a .338 at the very least. I always took my 45/70 with buffalo loads while hiking. 10mm would make a good backup.
You will enjoy it. Get a good solid grip on it the first time, just until you are confident with it. But it really is just a big pussycat - except for whatever happen to be on the business end of it. Check out Armscor 10mm, you can buy it bulk online for less than .45 acp costs at the range and its decently hot but not ridiculous.
Nice review sir and ive been longing for a glock 20 ever since but unfortunately they are not sold here in the phillipines hope in 2017 gunshow its already available. Again thank you for a very informative review of this gun mr hammer striker sir
Underwood is excellent ammo, they even have a couple loads that approach 750 ft/lbs. Underwood is what I use when hunting or in the woods and carrying one of the Glock 10mm pistols.
Own 3 10mm-gl 20/gl29/sw1076 tried new offering from SELLIOR&BELLOT 10MM 180 GR FMJ YESTERDAY -1165 fps medium speed round for $14 a box of 50.Sga ammo.
After observing the reviews & numbers the G20 puts up its really nothing bad you can say about it. The only thing is might be too much power for some people. G20 just holds its own I'll take it deep in the woods or mountains without a backup just because of what the G20 is capable of doing. The reliability & ruggedness of a glock.
When I go boar hunting, I will take the G29, G20 or G40 and know that whichever one I have with my there is nothing with any number of legs or slithering on it's belly that I cannot dispatch if it becomes a threat.
Thank-you. "Caliber escalation" is unfortunately quite common, both in concealed carry discussions as well as large critter defense. As you read the various blogs, it starts to sound like nothing short of a 500 S&W will be useful for anything bigger than a squirrel. Though a heavy caliber rifle is guaranteed to put something down, it is usually impossible to get such a weapon in play when you get jumped. For "Oh @#$! where did THAT come from" - I feel comfortable with 10mm up to and including black bear. For grizzly, I would move up to .454 Casull.
I went 10mm for a reason. Was seeing way to many bad guys taking 5 or 6 shots from 9mm's and still moving. Saw a video where a cop shot a guy 5 times then his partner had to shoot him 3 more times with their 9mm's. And he wasnt wearing body armor. Then I watched another video of a man shooting a 400lb black bear twice with a 10mm. took it down. Nuff said.
The SF (Gen 3) is the same size grip as a Gen 4 without adding any of the replaceable backstraps. The Gen4 uses the dual recoil spring setup, Gen 3 is a single. The dual recoil spring is intended to allow less felt recoil and improve reliability across varying ammo power. Gen 4 allows mag-release to be swapped to right-side for lefties. Gen 4 has more aggressive stippling to improve grip. Minor cosmetic differences beyond that.
For 40s&w your better off with a 155gr or 165gr bullet!!! The lighter rounds in the 40s&w deliver more energy!!! Like for example the Winchester Silvertip 155gr bullets are generating about 500ftlbs of energy which is damn good for a 40s&w!!! But I'll stick with 10mm where mild loads still usually generate 50 to 100 ftlbs more of energy!!!
Ive already bought my first xdm 45 3.8 thanks to your review sir. Now i intend to buy a 10 mm which do you think is best G29 or G20?? I need your opinion on this mr hammer striker thank you
+Edwin Zambrona That depends on what you intend to use it for. I have both, the G29 is great for concealed carry and still fun at the range. 10mm is one round that will take advantage of a longer barrel when using full power loads. If you are going to open carry or hunt with it then the G20 is a good choice. The larger grip on the G20 can make it easier to handle if you are looking for a range gun. One other option, if the larger gun is in consideration (budget permitting) is the G40. The G40 is great for everything the G20 is and supports mounting a micro red-do, the G40 has taken over the "hunting" role from my G29.
This one has been flawless from round one. I did a little looking around. Ignoring the guys who refuse to clean/oil their gun or had changed out springs and other parts for "better performance", the most likely cause is allowing it to flip. 10mm is a powerful high-velocity round and a weak grip which allows the gun to flip will burn off a lot of the energy needed to properly cycle. This will result in FTE (often a stovepipe) or FTF as the slide doesn't run all the way. I have fed this some of Underwood's beastliest offerings as well as Armscor, PPU, and Federal range ammo and it has eaten it right up and run fine.
Thanks for the reassurance. I've been contemplating a G20 purchase for my first handgun since I turned 21 a few weeks ago. I don't want my investment to go to waste.
+Samuel Hopkins 10mm may be a bit intense for a first gun, unless you have good experience with a handgun. Powerful round and a bit pricey compared to 9mm.
As far as I know, that's how they are. The G20SF and the G4 with no backstrap are the same size, then adding the smaller backstrap makes it equal to a "standard" G20 then the largest backstrap is bigger than both.
I had issues with my G20SF and gen 4 G29 with light primer strikes with European ammo. The issues occurred with PPU and Sellier & Bellot ammo. I sent guns back to Glock to no avail. I got a Colt Delta Elite instead and issue was fixed.
I have had problems with Seller & Bellot on some occasions in several different guns (Glocks and others). It appears they make two versions, one of which has less-sensitive primers. I think it may be intended for the open-bolt sub-machine guns that are popular over there and less likely to slam-fire. You never know which variant you are going to get at the range or online. There are "Extra Power" springs available to overcome this but you start to run the risk of puncturing a primer and will also have a heavier trigger pull. I avoid S&B because of that experience. I have not had any issues at all with PPU, though it seems to be less readily available here in Central Florida. The Colt Delta Elite is a very nice gun, though it does cost about the same as the G20 and G29 combined.
I was looking to get the Colt Delta Elite Rail but the gentleman looking to sell it went ghost on me so I ordered a Glock 20 Gen 4 instead today :) sure saved myself a pretty penny hahah
I bought one. Hate the gas nitride finish. Shipped with scratches from the factory and the plastic front sight was caved in. Definitely not USPS proof.
Personally, I prefer the original Tenifer finish, it is smoother and loos nicer. I have not had any problems with the new finish but the original one was nearly indestructible.
Glock is the best gun out there the 1911 is a joke.Glock is by far better than SIG .sorry but it's true.the 17 ,21,or the 20 you can't go wrong.and a Blackhawk holster.its like a Philly cheese steak people you have to get sum with red hots and a ice cold coke Rock the Glock baby
I'm trying to decide which 10mm Glock I want to buy, The 20 gen 3 or this one The gen 4 about 50 dollars higher here in my area then the Gen 3. Your Thoughts? Liked your review here ...
Personally, I prefer the Gen 4s due to the replaceable backstraps and dual recoil spring. The grip body is actually smaller on a Gen 4 with no backstrap installed (roughly equals a Gen 3 SF model). You can make it equal or larger depending upon which backstrap you install. The dual recoil spring is basically a two-stage spring which helps even out the recoil. However, the Gen 3s are solid and reliable and if you choose one you are not making a mistake.
@@HammerStriker Thanks for the reply, Appreciate it ! I'll figured it out, Its not going to make me or break me far as the extra 40--50 dollars Long as its worth the extra, You know...
I have not, though I know that technically it can be. There are a few issues to consider before doing so. It is unlikely to cause a KB so that is not a concern but the case is shorter so it doesn't headspace on the chamber ridge. Instead the extractor is forced to do that job, sorta holding the case by the edge and trying to center it in the chamber. This causes extra stress on that part an increases the likelihood of extractor failure. Additionally, average range .40 is near or below the minimum spec for 10mm's min/max range. This means that the heavier springs put into most 10mm guns to handle ammo at the top of the 10mm scale (Underwood, Buffalo Bore) may be too heavy for low-end .40. This would result in poor cycling performance (FTF, FTE, Stovepipes, etc.). Check out sites like gunbot.net where you can find good ammo prices online and you can get inexpensive 10mm range ammo for not a whole lot more than .40 that is good enough to be able to reliably cycle the gun. I won't say you cannot because plenty of people have, but in my opinion it is not the best choice to be able to enjoy your 10mm.
Gen 3 mouth better gun who needs back straps that all get loose at pin springs recalled early models gen 3 gold standard model I take a five and 3 Glock 10 mm is a beast terminator round
+jeremy beverly The cartridges are different enough that you would have to first decide upon that. 10mm is a bit intense for many people while most can easily handle and enjoy the .45 acp If you compare a Glock .45 such as the 29 or 21 to the p320 then I would likely choose the Glock. Not due to any issue with the Sig, only based on the track record of reliability I have experienced with the Glocks.
i just picked up a used Glock 20sf gen 3 in really great condition clean as a whistle for $400 cash out the door i wanted the gen 4 but the gen 3sf has the same feel/grip as the 4 but? i may still go ahead with the 20 gen 4? just to have a new one,,great review thx
Surprisingly, that will actually vary due to the ammo itself. .45 ACP is pretty consistent across range ammo and then again across defense (ie: Most all .45acp range ammo feels similar to each other across range ammo, and then the defense ammo which is usually hotter is pretty similar across that type) so when you take a .45 ACP to the range that particular gun will be pretty predictable. 10mm has a huge range of loadings, with some as weak as light .40 S&W and some (like Underwood's offerings)that approach or exceed .357 Magnum. If you try to do an equivalent comparison by getting 10mm loaded to the same percentage of the 10mm SAMI spec as the .45 is to it's SAMI spec then the 10mm will be a noticeably stronger recoil. If you get maxed out 10mm and maxed out .45, the 10mm will be significantly stronger. Most inexpensive 10mm range ammo is loaded down to the bottom of the spec and will feel almost the same or lighter than .45. So, in this case, it will really come down to what you feed them.
all pistols should be Glocks all Glocks should be 10 millimeter a lot of people do reviews on Glock twenties and don't have the real deal Ammo To Go With It if you're going to get a Glock 20 shoot the real deal stuff Underwood
What it can do that a 44 mag 45 acp 357 sig is 10 mm can go all way Thur a level llla vest with Ventura extreme defense ammco or pentrater it go Thur plate llla a 44 mag wount videos also five foot seen go Thur three slabs jell with 220 cast type bullet s a beast terminator round makes other look like wimps ha under wood ammco good

Hi Hammer Striker! As a novice, I'm enjoying your videos and finding them quite insightful. My family and I intend on camping a lot more here in Arizona, nothing too out of the way but there's plenty of space out here. I want to be prepared and protected and I've been doing my research about the best "camp caliber" if you will and I've landed on either the .357 mag (probably the Taurus mod 66) or the Glock G20 10mm.

10mm is much more lethal than any other calibers in a handgun. Over six hundred foot ibs of energy which is amazing.

Underwood is excellent ammo, they even have a couple loads that approach 750 ft/lbs. Underwood is what I use when hunting or in the woods and carrying one of the Glock 10mm pistols.
I accidentally ordered the Underwood 220 grain on accident for self defense, isn’t that kinda overkill ?

you in okc looks like a popular indoor range there
We are actually Florida based, there is a small regional chain with very nice air-conditioned ranges.
Liked the video but disagree with small lighter gun having less recoil.

Sf is actually 1/16 of an inch shorter in the grip from back to trigger
Dang! I wish I could shoot like that really dude!
that is a great gun and a great caliber but I'll stick with a.45 like my model 30.
William Hampton glock 41 beats that
For 40s&w your better off with a 155gr or 165gr bullet!!! The lighter rounds in the 40s&w deliver more energy!!!

Whos heard of the mech tech carbine conversion unit for the glock?

might want to oil the slide and rails it looks and sounds a little dry?

I think it may be intended for the open-bolt sub-machine guns that are popular over there and less likely to slam-fire. You never know which variant you are going to get at the range or online. There are "Extra Power" springs available to overcome this but you start to run the risk of puncturing a primer and will also have a heavier trigger pull. I avoid S&B because of that experience.
I have not had any issues at all with PPU, though it seems to be less readily available here in Central Florida.
The Colt Delta Elite is a very nice gun, though it does cost about the same as the G20 and G29 combined.
I was looking to get the Colt Delta Elite Rail but the gentleman looking to sell it went ghost on me so I ordered a Glock 20 Gen 4 instead today :) sure saved myself a pretty penny hahah
I bought one. Hate the gas nitride finish. Shipped with scratches from the factory and the plastic front sight was caved in. Definitely not USPS proof.
What your thoughts on the finish vs other Glock Gen finishes?
Personally, I prefer the original Tenifer finish, it is smoother and loos nicer. I have not had any problems with the new finish but the original one was nearly indestructible.
Glock is the best gun out there the 1911 is a joke.Glock is by far better than SIG .sorry but it's true.the 17 ,21,or the 20 you can't go wrong.and a Blackhawk holster.its like a Philly cheese steak people you have to get sum with red hots and a ice cold coke Rock the Glock baby
I'm trying to decide which 10mm Glock I want to buy, The 20 gen 3 or this one The gen 4 about 50 dollars higher here in my area then the Gen 3. Your Thoughts? Liked your review here ...
Personally, I prefer the Gen 4s due to the replaceable backstraps and dual recoil spring. The grip body is actually smaller on a Gen 4 with no backstrap installed (roughly equals a Gen 3 SF model). You can make it equal or larger depending upon which backstrap you install. The dual recoil spring is basically a two-stage spring which helps even out the recoil. However, the Gen 3s are solid and reliable and if you choose one you are not making a mistake.
@@HammerStriker Thanks for the reply, Appreciate it ! I'll figured it out, Its not going to make me or break me far as the extra 40--50 dollars Long as its worth the extra, You know...
underwood are very hot not a fair compare
Hi. Have you tried shooting a .40 with this gun? Thanks.
I have not, though I know that technically it can be. There are a few issues to consider before doing so. It is unlikely to cause a KB so that is not a concern but the case is shorter so it doesn't headspace on the chamber ridge. Instead the extractor is forced to do that job, sorta holding the case by the edge and trying to center it in the chamber. This causes extra stress on that part an increases the likelihood of extractor failure. Additionally, average range .40 is near or below the minimum spec for 10mm's min/max range. This means that the heavier springs put into most 10mm guns to handle ammo at the top of the 10mm scale (Underwood, Buffalo Bore) may be too heavy for low-end .40. This would result in poor cycling performance (FTF, FTE, Stovepipes, etc.). Check out sites like gunbot.net where you can find good ammo prices online and you can get inexpensive 10mm range ammo for not a whole lot more than .40 that is good enough to be able to reliably cycle the gun. I won't say you cannot because plenty of people have, but in my opinion it is not the best choice to be able to enjoy your 10mm.
Gen 3 mouth better gun who needs back straps that all get loose at pin springs recalled early models gen 3 gold standard model I take a five and 3 Glock 10 mm is a beast terminator round
Nice 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you.
Glock 20 or Sig p320 45
+jeremy beverly The cartridges are different enough that you would have to first decide upon that. 10mm is a bit intense for many people while most can easily handle and enjoy the .45 acp If you compare a Glock .45 such as the 29 or 21 to the p320 then I would likely choose the Glock. Not due to any issue with the Sig, only based on the track record of reliability I have experienced with the Glocks.
i just picked up a used Glock 20sf gen 3 in really great condition clean as a whistle for $400 cash out the door i wanted the gen 4 but the gen 3sf has the same feel/grip as the 4 but? i may still go ahead with the 20 gen 4? just to have a new one,,great review thx
Walter thats a great deal. I just paid $600 for a brand new Gen 4.
La glock 10 auto, una potencia superior, ni 45, ni 40 sw, ni 357 sig, 10 auto lo más potente
Is there much recoil difference on this one compared to the Gen 4 21 ?
Surprisingly, that will actually vary due to the ammo itself.
.45 ACP is pretty consistent across range ammo and then again across defense (ie: Most all .45acp range ammo feels similar to each other across range ammo, and then the defense ammo which is usually hotter is pretty similar across that type) so when you take a .45 ACP to the range that particular gun will be pretty predictable.
10mm has a huge range of loadings, with some as weak as light .40 S&W and some (like Underwood's offerings)that approach or exceed .357 Magnum.
If you try to do an equivalent comparison by getting 10mm loaded to the same percentage of the 10mm SAMI spec as the .45 is to it's SAMI spec then the 10mm will be a noticeably stronger recoil. If you get maxed out 10mm and maxed out .45, the 10mm will be significantly stronger.
Most inexpensive 10mm range ammo is loaded down to the bottom of the spec and will feel almost the same or lighter than .45.
So, in this case, it will really come down to what you feed them.
GREAT VIDEO I want one then i am done with Glocks 21 22 22 20 maybe a 40 LOL
all pistols should be Glocks all Glocks should be 10 millimeter a lot of people do reviews on Glock twenties and don't have the real deal Ammo To Go With It if you're going to get a Glock 20 shoot the real deal stuff Underwood
What it can do that a 44 mag 45 acp 357 sig is 10 mm can go all way Thur a level llla vest with Ventura extreme defense ammco or pentrater it go Thur plate llla a 44 mag wount videos also five foot seen go Thur three slabs jell with 220 cast type bullet s a beast terminator round makes other look like wimps ha under wood ammco good
