Title: Glock 20 Gen 4 woods ammo
Post by: Mossy on August 20, 2020, 06:49:04 AM: Hey Guys

Looking for some thoughts on what you’re using and why; specifically in a stock Glock. Thanks

Had some issues with a black bear last year in camp

I wouldn’t recommended anything heavier than 200g. Shoot 4 or 5 rounds into some cardboard and make sure that the holes are round. Glock barrels don’t do well with lead but hardcast helps and the coating should help. Check your barrel after a few rounds and clean the leading out if needed.

Midway usually has Underwood in stock. Underwood also makes a 180g bonded JHP @ 1300 fps. That should do the job as well.

I dont worry about long term barrel performance or fouling as I practice with cheap stuff and dont expect to fire more than a couple rounds from a few yards if it’s self defense. If it’s defense against a woods walking meth-o-sapien I figure the gun will be in a police locker anyway while the court sorts it out.
