Glock 20 Gen 4 10mm

[CaNINE]

I’ve gone to the new Alaska Guide Creations holster and running it attached to my bino chest rig. The holster removes easily to attach to belt when in camp. Will test this set up over the next year to see how I like it. Taking to Alaska this summer for hiking and fishing trips in POW.

I bought the Kenai chest rig for my Redhawk 45 LC, bad mistake. Fits nice and wears nice but with the holster molded to the shape of the gun the cylinder form on the inside part of the holster pushes into your chest, not very comfortable. May not be the same on a semi. Like said before, being hard molded plastic it's noisy. Mine's for sale, left hand.

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?

A 22 lb recoil spring is a good idea, and it'll still function fine with the milder loads too.

The stock barrels do fine with cast bullets, as long as the bullets aren't undersized. If they are, they'll lead up aftermarket barrels too. Most of what's said about cast bullets in Glock barrels is pure fabricated rubbish that just keeps getting repeated. I shoot cast bullets most of the time, in a bunch of different Glock models and calibers, so I'm not just guessing.

I've got the 20 and 29 SF. My 20 has a GSHolster and is very, very tight and fits well on me.

Good to know..thanks for the input.  I'll start with the stock barrel and see how she shoots.

Check out Killer-Innovations out of Tumwater for a barrel. Rick is making some really cool barrels. Maybe not 10mm, but ask.

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.

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.

One option for a chest rig that converts from chest to pack belt molle webbing to normal belt is the US Army Surplus M12 holsters, which you can get pretty cheap, and which allows either side belt carry, left or right handed.

Add a chest harness for chest carry.

Add a molle adapter to fit to your pack belt.

It's a pretty versatile and bombproof setup.

I have had my Gen3 short-stroke and fail to eject with the 21# recoil spring, so be sure to try it out if you plan to carry lighter loads with the stronger recoil spring.

Curious to know how this rides and how smoothly the gun comes out of it. I don't have my bino pack straps cinched down super tight so I'm picturing the gun flopping or bouncing around while walking and hard to pull from the holster without pulling the whole holster.

Yea I’m curious how it will work in practice.  I like the torso straps fairly snug so may be ok .  I’ve worn it around the house and it felt ok. Need to do some hikes with it wearing a pack to get a good feel for it.

I have the 22 pound spring, but the original barrel in my G20 (gen2).
What barrel issue has been experienced with the hard casts?

P.S.  it's my favorite pistol ever.

Mole skin quiets down those kydex holsters a lot. 

[MADMAX]

Any pics of the fix with moleskin?
 BTW
Good idea bud

Thanks in advance

[jasnt]

I don’t have a pic but will take one when I get home.  It’s just adhesive mole skin works well.
