10MM Rock Island vs Glock
« on: May 03, 2022, 06:09:44 PM »
As the title states which 10MM would you purchase? Looking at Glock and Rock Island, what else is good in 10MM? I love Kimber, but it seems a bit much compared to these two. Thoughts?

Thanks

Ive shot both and own the g40(longslide g20) and shot a buddies kimber in 10mm , Needless to say he sold his kimber and bought a glock 20 . The extra capacity is definetly an added bonus .

I don't have a problem with Glocks as I have a few but I prefer my Kimber.  Not only looks good but shoots lights out

I have a Sig TACOPS 1911 10mm that I like pretty well.  I used to have a G20 and it was ok.  What about one of the Springfield XD-M 10mm??

I bought a model 20 to tide me over until I can get my hands on a Rock Ultra HC.  I looked at a M-40, but it was higher priced. 

I'm a Glock fan, and still want the Rock Island.

Personally I would like both. I have a G20 and it’s my all conditions I don’t care about gun. I did put a match grade barrel on it to alleviate the glock bulge. If you don’t rebarrel you’ll only get two reloads.

Only issue I had with rock island model was it was much heavier, so take that into account in your purchase.

Out of the two I would go with the Rock Island .  Kimber is for sure nice but a bump in price  . I went with Fusion Firearms though  :chuckle:
These are both wearing an RMR now

I absolutely love my G20.

I have no experience with the Rock Island.

The glock was described to me as being the ak-47 of the pistol world. Can beat them to hell and back and they’ll still function and shoot. I’m hard on stuff and figured it would be too fancy to go with a kimber or rock island. That being said, I went with a g20

I had a G20, 10mm, much prefer the XD-M, 10mm.
But that is a personal preference. Shoot as many as you can and find the one you prefer.  :tup:

I love my Kimber Special II in .45. Kimber makes exceptional pistols.

I didn’t like the fit of the G20, and the G29 and new compact XDM elite felt too small for 10mm.  Just brought home an M&P today which seemed like the best polymer 10mm to me.

Not to thread jack but this is the direction I’m thinking of going. I’m looking for a high cap 10 and that leaves m&p, glock, and rock island. The glock is to wide for my hand so it’s ruled out which I’m disappointed as I was looking forward to a battle tested firearm. Have you shot it yet? How’s the recoil? The medium grip is a bit to deep but thinking the small swell will work great.

I own both... and not being a Glock fanboy at all.... AND a huge 1911/2011 fan.... For self-defense, I would 100% go with the glock (and I do) with 200gr hardcast at 1500fps, with an upgraded lone Wolf Barrel and recoil system.   Just me..

Thanks Gents, this is the kind of feedback I was hoping for, unlike other social media feeds I feel I can get an honest feedback and not a skewed view by one side. Thank You!  :tup:

I’ve had lots of 10s, but I usually end up selling them for one reason or another. I currently have the RIA. It is by far my favorite.

I currently have the G20, XDM & Colt Delta Elite all 10MM...........All great guns with specific uses. Was thinking about grabbing the M&P just for fun to see what it's like. Decide what you're going to use it for and then go from there.

Glock 29....daily carry. Also great for packing around in the woods. I sent my slide out for machining to mount an RMR and am quite pleased with the setup.  Springfield Armory has a nice offering that is competitive with the G29. It's already machined for an optic and is truly ambidextrous.

Have owned 20 and 40 in Glocks, triggers, barrels, replaced and still don't like the feel. Owned RRA, preferred over Glock, have had Kimbers that shot very well and feel much better(personal preference) than any Glock, currently shooting Springfield TRP Longslide w/Trijicon RMR by far my favorite 10mm.

As silly as this may sound am leaning towards the Glock because in a few months I won't be able to purchase one with a 15 round mag.

I only had 1 15-round mag and a couple 10 round mags for my G20.
I bought 3 more 15 rounders before it' too late.
I bought a crap ton of mags for the family.... We did a complete survey t make sure we got what we wanted while we could.
