I have owned both the 20 & 29. I came to the conclusion that to get the most out of the 10mm it's a handload proposition, or buy expensive factory ammo. I loaded a lot hot loads in different aftermarket barrels, and never felt confident in the combination. I ended up buying Buffalo Bore for hunting/protection to solve that issue.I suggest you go with a 9mm or 45acp. I know they are far behind the 10 in power, but try shooting a 10 in rapid fire like you would in a self defense situation, then try the same with 9 or 45.

plus if you have a glock "brick" once you jam you can just smash the bear in the head with it roflol

I bought a Gen4 G20 from carpsniperg2 a couple years ago. After shooting a couple other Glocks I found out I'm just not a Glock guy. I think they are a good weapon at an affordable price but you either like them or you don't and they just aren't for me. Did a trade deal with a guy today for this little beauty, it's a Sig TACOPS 1911 10mm.
