I have the Glock 20sf as my woods gun and I like it

Do yourself a favor and if you get ammunition to practice with, do NOT cheap out and get the weak cheap stuff, either practice with what you intend to use as your woods load (I use Doubletap hard casts) or if you’re gonna use FMJ, atleast get the SIG FMJ that’s an actual heavy hitter hot load, not the cheap stuff like Sellier & Bellot or others that make you feel way more accurate than you are with a 10mm   :twocents:

Also I got a drop leg holster for it and I’d suggest something like a shoulder or chest rig. I’m selling my drop leg not because it’s a bad holster I just don’t think it’s the right choice for a glock20 filled with 200gr hard casts  :chuckle:

I do love the ballistics of the 10mm for woods defense, it’s the best you’ll get from a semi auto.

If you haven’t yet check out chukes outdoor adventures on YouTube he’s a guy who lives in Alaska in griz country and swears by his Glock 20. He also does holster reviews for it

Hope I helped  :)

Great stuff, thanks. I have a pretty good spot on my pack belt that I put my holster on, planning on keeping that the same. Good info on the ammo. That is spendy stuff, but burning a couple boxes to be sure where I'm hitting would be well worth it. Might end up reloading for it so I can actually shoot it without feeling a hole being burned in my wallet.

I personally like the glock 29 with the gunfifghters chest holster.   Hard to go wrong with the 10 in grizz country.  Very accurate gun with plenty in the magazine.

Agreed, that’s my set up as well.  Gunfighters Inc. Kenai is an awesome holster but not cheap.. Neither is a lot of stitches or,  your life.  Only downfall is I can’t wear my binoculars on my chest when wearing the Kenai or, at least not where I like them to be and have the Glock handy.   :twocents:

Springfield has a couple new 10mm out, they may be worth taking a look at as well.

Yes hand loading is not something I’ve ever ventured into yet but 10mm is definitely a hand loader caliber, haha.

I just brought it up because the first time I took my g20 to the range I was shooting the s&b 180gr FMJ and was pretty accurate, the recoil felt light, then when I shot some hardcasts it was all crazy.

Last time out I tried the sig (which you can occasionally get on sale for about 19$ btw, much more reasonable) and when I switched to my other ammo it was the same amount of recoil/snap as the FMJ

I bought one this fall to replace a 41 mag that was my go to woods gun.
Lately going alone felt I need more capacity
Got a decent deal on full size G20, accurate shooter

started shooting with Blasers, Cabelas had Herters on sale so grabbed a couple boxs for play, will end up getting a box of hardcasts for woods carry.
Got some hollow point sigs also but not sure on hollow points for in woods bear stopping power.

Holster wise I like a cross-draw, but didnt feel the holster I bought was secure enough ( no snap) so changing that up and will sell it if anyones interested in it

Just found BlackOvis.com had the Kenai chest holsters on sale for $135 and then had an additional 20% off on website coupon and free shipping
So new Kenai gunfighter holster ordered for $108, pretty good deal so if your looking for a quality chest holster- dont wait

That holster is louder than a tin can full of rocks. I made a few product review videos and sent them directly to GunFighters. No response. I wouldn't be caught dead in the woods with that thing on, it's so damn noisy.

FWIW GS Holsters while less known makes a better for the price chest holster than the Kenai. You can get one for 75$ or the “gen II” for 95$ (the cool colors are 10$ extra)

If you look at Chukes outdoors in YouTube he does a review of both and admitted that GS is a better value and even dis regarding price he likes the GS better. I have it for my g20 and love it

Been eyeing a 10mm as well for a few years now. I carry my 9mm all the time in the woods and I use the Alien Gear Molle holster and it's amazing(I carry it on my hip strong side). The only thing is that you have to have molle webbing on your pack where you want to carry and lucky for me my Kifaru pack has molle around the waist belt so it fits perfectly. I never notice it on me, rides very well and when it rains I don't have to worry about it as much sense it's kydex. For the price I am very happy with it and when I do have the cash for a 10mm I will be buying another one for sure. I love the 10mm round, hate the cost of ammo and the limited options but it's a great woods gun. Just my  :twocents:

No way do I want my holster attached to my pack. If you're one of those guys who eats, rests, and poops with your pack on, maybe that's a great idea, but if you don't, where is the gun when the pack comes off?  I'll take a good holster connected to my person, please.

I’m in the market for a G20. My plan is to run the buffalo bore 220 grain hard casts. This load harnesses the full potential of the 10mm. I’ve read that you need to upgrade to a 22 lb recoil spring and a aftermarket barrel like a lone wolf or KKM. The stock glock barrels don’t do well with hard cast bullets. Anyone experience this?

That's a fantastic point, I would love to try a chest rig as I've always heard that is comfortable and I like having the firearm right there.
