awesome!
this will be the route I'm going then - thanks for the help!
 
I'll aks a few more Q's when I auctually got the G20 in hand, never had a mod pistol before and I'm stoked to get into it. 
 
I've got a lot of trigger time on a G17 - be nice to have another glock in my hand  ;)

don't think you will need new magazines for the .40 conversion either

Ahhh, yes.  There really isn't anything better than a lever action in the woods, is there?

Just for the sake of something new.....................I'll pack a hand gun when my hands will be busy with berries but all other times I pack my Win. 94 30-30. I just love the feel of carrying it and I feel safest with it. :twocents:

You can't go wrong packing a couple of these and several spare mags:

The other day I shot a 9mm AR with slide fire.  I was amazed how well you can keep it on target.  Nothing wrong with that either.
