Springfield has been making one for years!  ...ok, so Springfield does not have the 10mm or the Aimpoint sight.  But not having the name Glock on the slide makes up for that :chuckle:

And the Leupold Deltapoint is one of their worst products.  3.5moa dot?  When many even cheaper red dots are 2moa.  And 7.5moa per click? You've got to be kidding!

There sure are a lot of naysayers in here.  I'd pass on the red dot, too.  But with 15 Rounds of Buffalo Bore 180 gr. JHC at 1428 fps from a 6" barrel, what's not to love?

It seems like a great alternative to the old standby .357 Magnum revolver.

Well yes Campmeat.  Pretty sweet!  I'm seriously considering dropping a 40 Super barrel in my Kimber! But... I have a couple of 44mags... I don't really need to.

40 s&w and 10mm just don't really float my boat.  And a Glock? Well, like I said, I don't do plastic.

I like all calibers myself. I have plastic guns and steel guns. As long as they work and look good, I'm OK. That RIA is a pretty nice gun and handles the recoil very well.

So G20 is a good hiking and general PNW woods gun.  But add an inch barrel length, and you wouldn't be seen with it for being thought a mall ninja.  You guys kill me.

I only looked at the pic so maybe this will be a stupid question but is this a whole new gun or will the longer slide/barrel etc. work on a Gen4 G20 or vice versa, will the shorter hardware from a G20 work on this G40???

Figures they'd release this now. I bought a Gen 3 last year and I'm (slowly) assembling pieces to drop a 6" slide onto it. I dont care for the "checkering" on the Gen 4's, I dont need the extended controls nor the optic but 6" of 10mm goodness is a wonderful thing!

When you shoot 400-500 rounds in a afternoon, any glove helps. Then again most don't shoot that many in a year. ;)

A "standard" G20 is a 4.5 inch barrel. Going with that you gain just shy of two inches of sight radius (not a big deal with optics but makes a difference with irons obviously). Velocity wise you're gaining about 100fps when using the heavier bullets (above 180g).

Maybe not huge gains but a few ounces is worth the gains in my opinion, YMMV.

A 500 S&W is a much better choice for that!

I would like to see the pros and cons on a 6 in barrel over a 5 in?

Besides weight, lol



A "standard" G20 is a 4.5 inch barrel. Going with that you gain just shy of two inches of sight radius (not a big deal with optics but makes a difference with irons obviously). Velocity wise you're gaining about 100fps when using the heavier bullets (above 180g).

Maybe not huge gains but a few ounces is worth the gains in my opinion, YMMV.

Nice chart!
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

If ya want a semi auto with some punch, build a 460 Rowland.
shoots well with a light compensator. and that 45 cal bullet moves right along
Not a boat anchor like a .50.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

Now that's a round! Have just a little trigger time behind that caliber  ;) it gets into a practical woods defense round imo.. :tup:
