10MM for backcountry self defense
BKMFR:
I really like the 10mm and have taken deer, Black Bear, and even a few Coyotes with it... I used it for roaming the back country around Cooke City Montana where we seen multiple Grizzlies plus other areas of Montana and Wyoming. My 10mm is a Kimber and I love it! :twocents:
Firedogg:
You want the 10mm, get the 10mm. It will put down anything you will run into in this state. Full power rounds are easy to find, and with the G20 you also have the option of shooting 40S&W for less rxpensive plinking, clean it real good before going back to 10mm or get a dedicated barrel.
I find my G20 is softer shooting than my Delta Elite. I have smaller than average hands and have no problem with control or comfort. I get groups a hair under 2" at 25yds, around 4+" for me at 50yds, but some others who shoot better than me have gotten better groups with it than I can.

:) go for what you like cuz if you go for what you don't you won't like what you went for :chuckle:
Glocks are proven guns, 10mm a proven cartridge. :dunno:

I bought my Glock 20 - 10mm for the METH CAMPS!

My reasoning too

I bought a gen4 G20 for a woods gun. Recoil is fine. Those 220g hard cast rounds certainly go boom, leave a cloud of powder at the end of the barrel.
Someone in eastern WA shot and killed a spring bear from 10' using a 10mm. I believe he used 180g jacketed hollow points. I think he shot the bear through the head, but I know the bullet penetrated 16" down through the neck, per his post on this site.
I think a 10mm can do the job.
