Talk me in or out of my Glock 20.

That's where my SBR and Glock 19 with 33rnd mags come in. Sure 10mm is more powerful but in that scenario I would be going quantity of ammo in the gun over sheer power.
On that same note while I did carry my 21 (same size as the 20) for about two years straight every day every where, it hurt my back, but it was all I had at the time. So now a days I typically carry my little 5 shot Jframe 442 or my Glock 19. Carried the 20 all yesterday and while I was ok with it, it reminded me of why I went to smaller carry guns.
So are you saying that because the 44 mag is punching out 1600 ft/lbs of energy vs 700 ft/lbs of energy over the 10mm that you don't grab the 10mm when you are in bear country? I have a 44 mag but I also have a 10mm that I bought just for hunting deer and I even took it bear hunting with me last year, on purpose. With the right ammo such as buffalo bore or underwood the 10mm and the added bonus of the extra ammo you have at least to me outweighs carrying the 44mag. I love both rounds but I love my 10mm more and it is absolutely more than capable of doing what you need. 10mm 220 gr. Hardcast bullet traveling at 1200 fps with 703 ft/lbs of energy and a 300 gr. Jacketed Flat Nose bullet traveling at 1300 fps with 1126 ft/lbs of energy out of a 5.5 inch bbl. I realize the 10mm is no 44 mag but I am just sayin the 10mm can do more than you realize and and you asked to talk you in or out of it and I am talking you into it. I absolutely love mine.
You are right that is exactly what I'm looking for, argument for or against it. So far I have yet to hear any against it. My 20 is sitting right here in my lap and it's making me want to just go ahead and buy the aftermarket barrel for it and start loading up some 10mm heavy Lead. I just know if I keep it I'm going to have another 500$ in this gun overnight between the new barrel and reloading supplies for it....and talking to my buddy he agrees with you that 16 rounds of 10mm outweigh the 6 of 44. He made a valid point to that while the 44 is great for our bears here, it is laughable if we are talking about the country I'm talking about with the big Browns. He said out there you need to have 12gauge slugs, .45-70 or at the minimum a .454cassul or .460s&w with those big boys.
So I dunno, but on the same token, a Glock is a Glock, nothing special about them and it can be easily found a replaced with another if I was to trade it and decide I want it again. So I'm gonna look in the trade adds and see if anything jumps out at me.
You are correct in that sir.
If anyone wants this 20 feel free to pm me with a trade offer or cash offer. It's like new, box, docs, three mags etc. still on the fence right now. But I'm not going to actually list it till I decide against it.
What are some of your interest in trades?
