Frequently Asked Questions

What is the stopping power of the Glock 20 compared to the Glock 21?

The Glock 20 in 10mm Auto is claimed to deliver over 10,000 foot-pounds of energy with high-performance loads, significantly exceeding the Glock 21's .45 ACP capabilities, especially in terms of barrier penetration and potential for dangerous game defense.

What are the recommended modifications for Glock pistols discussed in the review?

Nutnfancy suggests common modifications such as 3.5lb connectors for a lighter trigger pull, extended slide releases for easier manipulation, and potentially a heavier recoil spring (20-22 lbs) for the Glock 20 to enhance reliability with hot 10mm loads.

What is the historical significance of the 10mm Auto cartridge?

The 10mm Auto was developed with significant input from Jeff Cooper and saw a brief adoption by the FBI before being replaced by the .40 S&W. Nutnfancy argues that full-power 10mm loads remain highly effective for specific applications.

How does the Glock 20 perform in bear country defense?

The Glock 20 is presented as an ideal sidearm for dangerous game territory due to its 15+1 capacity of powerful 10mm rounds. This offers a significant advantage over lower-capacity revolvers, providing substantial penetration through thick bone.
