Are you sure TAB? I just checked the site and they specify the G20 as well as the 29 but it doesn't list any mods to the pistols. Although it would be nice if they cited whether a 6'' or the standard 4.7'' was used.

I would not try it, unless it was all I had, and had not choice, but Ted Nugent killed a water buffalo with one, but he hammered it multiple times until it fell down.

I'll use my G20 for most anything here in TX, 300lbs and under should do fine, with a good shot, ammo choice, and common sense. I do load mine above industry standards, with brand new brass, not to be loaded that hot again.!! I won't give out my loads, but 800x, is the powder of choice.

The g20 +g29 are my primary carry guns. If the caliber is approved to hunt deer sized game there is something to be said for the round. (the .45 is not approved here for hunting) I have lone wolf 10mm-40sw conversion barrels for each gun which allows for cheaper and readily availible ammo for practice. Two guns in one. Love it ;D

I wish they would let us use 10mm for hunting in Indiana. I carry the Glock 21SF or Glock 30SF in .45 ACP and you cannot hunt with it here. I think 10 mm would be awesome to hunt deer with. I would not want it for a bear or larger game. I got my .45's for dangerous animals that I may encounter while camping.
I must say that I would love to own a Glock 20. Hard to find 10mm rounds around here. I have only seen one box at Gander Mountain in Indianapolis. It was rather salty I might add. Along with the .45 GAP.

Only Uncle Ted has the stones to try that.

I carry a G20 10mm when i hunt. I dont feel that anything larger is needed in the south west. Some of you may think otherwise but its not like your going to run into a grizzly. I think the 2 legged predators are more dangerous.

Most 10 mm are loaded down to much recoil for most so if  your going hunting load your own.

some of the best 10mm ammo I have seen was fullpower loads 180gr. Hornday 10MM Auto, 180 gr. JHP/XTP     
#9126
Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs)
Muzzle    50 yd    100 yd
1180/556    1077/464    1004/403
Barrel Length (inches)

this stuff did better than all the Corbon that we could find to test to be used on 2 legged animals.
Also Bufflalo Bore is the only 10mm to hunt with.(4 legged animals) I would not use any other pistol than the Glock with the 6" hunter barrel installed and it will give you better than stated performance.  Add a set of Crimson Trace for empty gun pratice and the cost of the grips very quickly pay for them self.

SKU: 21A/20
   
Heavy 10mm Pistol and Handgun Ammo
Heavy 10mm Ammo - 200 gr. F.M.J. (1,200fps/M.E. 639 ft.lbs.) - 20 Round Box
$29.21


Manufacturer: Buffalo Bore

10mm is under rated. It will do more than a .44 mag and still have back up bullets, just in case.

One of the Alaska DNR boys was attacked by a gizz and killed it with his Glock .40 S&W. Took the entire mag but what the hell he gets ammo free but had to pay to get the stains out of his pants.

The .40 S&W is a poor performer as a pistol round as many are finding out. Speed is too low to offer consistant expansion as I am told by a medical exaimner and State Police bullistics expert.

10mm does offer higher speed which means good espansion with the same .40 bullets. I know folks who carry them all the time and have no doubt they will do the job.

Since I am left handed I am getting a 10mm barrel for my Glock SF in .45 ACP and converting it so I have the ambi mag release and short frame.  Best of both worlds.
