I carry a G20 with a lone wolf barrel, stainless guide rod and *I think* a 24lb recoil spring (the heaviest one they sell).  It's a bit over sprung as I get an occasional stove pipe with hot loads in 200gr, the 220gr BB ejects fine though.  I need to get a slightly smaller recoil spring as I don't shoot 220gr any longer, I'm fine with 200gr.

Accuracy is very good with the LW barrel.  Next project for the gun is swapping the sights out for trijicon night sights.


I also have the S&W .40 cal lone wolf barrel for the G20 and I use the stock recoil spring with that, its very sweet to shoot the .40 with the bigger gun than a typical .40 platform and the shooting is cheaper.  Good practice ammo.   Next I want to get the 9x20 dillion barrel for hunting thinner skinned game but I might long slide it for that.

IIRC, the 22# Wolff Spring functioned reliably with the 200 grain XTPs in the G20 (OEM barrel), but 180 factory loads stove piped.

Thanks for that, with the stainless guide rod it'll take a bit more punishment being under sprung.  I think I'll buy several sizes of recoil springs for it and keep them labeled well.

I'm waiting for the ruger 10mm 1911 to pop up and I will be picking one up. I sell all the 1911's that I buy but hoping maybe this one will be a nice blend.

The 10mm is one of my favorite rounds it has more then enough power for anything you will run into, just choose good bullets in your ammo and you will be fine.

That sure is purty !!

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
