The Glock 20 SF in 10mm is one of the firearms I’ve always wanted and it just hasn’t happened yet. I remember when the 10mm first came out and it appeared that it would take over the defensive pistol field displacing the 45ACp and 9mm due to its ability to not only have a high capacity but also excellent power. Excessive recoil and a reputation for wearing guns out reduced the 10mm to mediocre to insignificant popularity.
The Glock 20 was from all accounts the first reliable 10mm pistol and gained a good following. Some 25 years the Glock 20 is still made – in its SF format. “SF” stands for short-frame as Glock redesigned and reduced the grip with this model.
The Glock 20 is popular with outdoor enthusiasts who frequents areas with bear and other potentially dangerous animals.
The following video offers an overall perspective of the Glock 20 SF 10mm pistol.
I stayed away from the 10mm pistols because I’m a tightwad. I buy cases of ammo in 5.56 and 9mm quite often and those calibers are much less expensive. I like the 9mm even more as so many carbines are being offered in that caliber these days.
I had a Colt Delta Elite for a while shooting USPSA matches but never really liked it. Yes powerful, but the USPSA “game” of the early 1990s moved fast. I had some serious wear quickly with 10mm although reloading was not bad at all. I shifted to 38 Super to matches back in the day. Now I run Glock 35s with .40 and replacement 9mm barrels so can use either ammo by switching barrel and magazines. Also keep a Glock 41 with Barsto .45 match barrel with suppressor which is simply amazing to shoot.
