SigP320 M17 or the sigP365 are both great guns Id recommend looking into as well.

SIG P365 XL, for accuracy and conceal..ability? Great weapon.

I have a G 40.  That long slide does take up a lot of recoil. It is no worse than my ported 17 L..  You will have slightly quicker follow ups, plus a little more umph in the round with the long slide.  Underwood Xtreme  for ammo.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

I have a G20 that I love.  My favorite pistol.   But it's too big to CC.

My CC is a Ruger LC9S, which is fine but I am gonna get a Sig P365XL.    Same size and way more capacity.
I'm looking for more capacity in my CC, and narrowed down to Sig P365XL and Springfield Hellcat.
I just like the Sig better after shooting them.

Thanks for all the great responses all! I think I’ll have to put them in my hand to make the final call, but I’m really leaning towards the glock20. Too many good reviews about them. I’ll post a pic when I buy. Now I just have to find one

The liked the grip and how the xdm 10mm felt in my hand better than the G20 but ended buying the Glock and love it so far. I was going to buy the chest holster but figured it would get in the way of my bino harness so went with a kydex holster on the belt and it works great.

I really like my G29 with a longer wolf ported barrel. I also use the G20 magazine for the extra rounds. I use it mostly for archery backup, but I also CC it since it a compact. Very accurate and I really think the ported barrel takes pretty much all the kick out. The only downside to the ported barrel, although I haven’t shot it at night, I’m betting there’s going to be lots of muzzle flash.

I have a fhf bino harness with razco(?) holster for my g20c, carries pretty well just below the binos.

Before you buy the XDM or G20, put a full size HK45 in your hand. Its magical.

I have a Colt 1911 and XD 45, both feel great in my hand
Purchased a gen 4 G20 for the woods
I really dont think a 45 is enough for bear, better than nothing, but if your talking about saving your butt from being mauled, give me a high capacity 10mm and if your in grizzly country bowhunting, a can of bear spray as well  :twocents:

its like Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge
get what you like
