I have no experience with the glocks mentioned, but the 357 sig can be a pain to reload, but if you have good brass it isn't so bad. Neck tension is the biggest problem, after you find a bullet that feeds well into your gun.

 

Since you're stepping up to a big-boy caliber and won't need that girly 9mm Kahr, let me know how much you want for it...

Love 10mm

 

Since you're stepping up to a big-boy caliber and won't need that girly 9mm Kahr, let me know how much you want for it...

Lol, I have been going back and forth in my head with selling it. Its a beautiful gun, shoots superb but I just don't use it. I even have some nice R.Grizzle leather for it. The gun and holster are sitting on the shelf right now. Then I decide I want to keep it, then I decide I want all Glock, idk... Do you you have a G29 you are looking to get rid of?

 

10MM shooting full power loads = Big Smile
10MM shooting regular overprived store bought run of the mill that equals .40s&w = eh, whatever

Lol. That's for sure.

 

I had a glock 29 and found that shooting 10mm in an unsupported chamber is probably not good. All my brass was bulged pretty badly and I had one go kaboom. Glock fixed the pistol no charge but they took about 3 months to fix it. I would stay away from buffalo bore or any of the other actual full power 10mm loads if you would like your glock to stay together. The recoil of the 10mm was really not that bad. I found it was not as snappy as .357 sig and was more like shooting some really hot 45acp loads.

 

Lol. That's for sure.

One day, I was swapping back and forth between my 20, and 1911. After shooting DoubleTap Ammo through the 20, and swapping to the 1911, I then knew how Neo felt in the Matrix when he could watch bullets fly. It honestly felt like I could almost watch the .45ACP powered slide unlock, and start it's lumbering motion rearward in ultra slomo.

Cliff Notes:
10MM full power is very, very cool.

 

I love the Glock 20. It is what I carry in the woods. If you already have a .45, you could check out some of DoubleTaps hotter loads for a woodsy .45 gun. However, getting another firearm is never the wrong answer.

 

10mm is awesome and will do the job, I like the 200gr cast lead out of my G20 KKM 6in barrel! or a 135JHP screaming out @ 1800 fps! but for bears I will shoot my Alaskan 480.....



and when the 10mm family gets together....

 

and a G29 is about the same size as a G23/G19 just a little wider.

 

For "hot" or nuclear loads in a glock, get an aftermarket barrel with better support. I have fired true 10mm out of factory barrels with my gen 3 20 and 29 with no effect on the gun but it's hell on brass. I also add stronger springs (20 to 21 lbs is enough). As many here know, I love my 3rd generation S&W 10mm's, they will shoot it all, ask for more, and give you change back.

 

I agree with everything Dorton said. Once I get going reloading I may get back into 10mm. I used to carry a S&W 1006. I loved that thing, but ammo was insane and most was weak out of the box.

On another hand, my .357 sig is nasty with factory ammo. I'll punch through 1" polycarb panels stacked 3 deep with the right bullets. There's also a 65gr bullet or it that travels 2450fps. That's nuts...

 

I had a Glock 20 and loved it. IMO, even the target ammo is a nice round. The only reason I don't have a 10mm is the price and limited availability of ammo.

 

Finally found that thread I meant to post earlier.

Hunter did a lot of work with the write up for Gunclassifieds. I'm sure he's got some good info for you.
On the buldge:

I bought the factory Glock barrel from Lone Wolf http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=546&CAT=122
I have had no issues with bulged cases or even tough resizing with fired brass. I did not want an aftermarket barrel due to the tighter tolerances.
I am having great luck with Unique powder and a few different bullet weights.

 

I have a G29 and I love it. Its not bad at all to shoot.

 

Yeah, I think I might need one of these animals. I have a reloading press and I would mostly shoot my G19 at the range but it would be fun to unleash the beast once in a while. I suppose it would make a nice hiking pistol too.

I know that Firepower does not have any to rent, I will check out Eagle and Shooters Express and see what kind of offerings they have.

 

I have a glock 20C and have a 6" Lone WOLF barrel. I also had a grip reduction and stippling performed also. Ammo is not that bad ordering from Underwood ammo. It is my favorite outdoors pistol. More power than a 357 and holds 15 rounds. What is not to like.

I've been tryin' to hold off on a 29, but talk like this is killin' me.

 

I was just watching some Hickok 45 videos of the G20 and G29, those 10mm rounds hit hard!

Shrek, I am kinda torn between the 20 and the 29 right now. If they had a 19/23/32 sized frame I would have went and bought one today. I am gonna have to handle both offerings and see which I like better.

 

Well, if you want full size the 20 is awesome. I've said it before, if I had to choose between my 20 or 21, I'd pick the 20.

People talk about price and availability of ammo, but if you find something you like you make the commitment and go with it.

I am not too worried about the ammo, I will reload for it. If I get one, it will be for limited/occasional use, hiking, home defense etc... I would be tearing through hundreds of rounds per session like I do with the 9mm.

As for full size, I am not sure if I like it. I can be very picky with aesthetics and the other Glock full size guns like the 17 and the 22 don't do it for me. I will have to check out the 20 before I make a decision though. This is the one area that has me leaning back to .357 sig, I can get a G32 and have the same size pistol as the G19. This may take me several weeks and wavering back and forth lol.

 

Just a thought, is conversion an option? Most 45s can be converted to 10mm, right? How about a compact 45-10mm conversion? For occasional use the conversions are perfect. I don't own a 357sig, just a conversion for my 27. It's great for the little I shoot the round.

 

Nevermind... Just checked there's no 45 compact either...
