There is another Glock in my safe tonight...
« on: April 09, 2012, 03:08:36 PM »
I have been watching for a good used G20 for about six months now... My search ended tonight ;)

I picked up a early gen 1, adj site, G20 with two hi cap mags and factory box complete. It has been sent in for the recall/ upgrade in 10/93. It is a UL xx SN and in unfired condition. 400$ zero wear from holster or shooting.

Guess I have some loading to do!! ::)

EDIT:  The Glock 20 came out in 1990, AFTER the Gen 1 and with the Gen 2 guns. There was NO gen 1 Glock 20's made.

Great addition to anyone's collection! I'm a fan of the 10mm, and the platform you've chosen.  I need to get out my 10 and chrono some of the old XTP/BlueDot loads I have on hand. Haven't shot the 10 in years and my brass supply is limited .  Might just do that this coming week! I know you'll enjoy shooting the 10!

Thanks!

I have a couple 10's but this is my first 10 in a Glock.



Blue dot is THE 10MM powder in my guns too!! It's been real good in my 40 as well!

I would
Like to use 200g bullets but only avalible anymore is the XTP. Any experience with the 200 XTP's?

OK,

Hoping to hit the range Friday aft work! I loaded 100 rnds with Blue dot and a 180 FMJ.

I have never loaded 200gr bullets in 10mm, so can't speak to those. I haven't hunted in years, and have no first hand observations on the field performance of the 10mm. I do enjoy shooting the 10, but only casually. Still a great cartridge with lots of potential.

I loaded up 50 last night. 8.5, 8.7, 9.0 & 9.2g of Blue dot. A couple Manuel's show 9 a max while a couple others list 10.... Lee lists 8.5 as a max... Hitting the range after work.

Well I am amazed again... Let me back up for a moment...

I loaded up my first loading of Blue Dot powder and a 180 FMJ bullet. I have shot this load for many years with great success. It shoots at almost 1100fps from a 5" Delta barrels. Shoots even BETTER from the Glock barrel!! This was at 10 yards.



I moved to 25 yards and easilly kept them on a 2" shoot n see paster.

When I was loading the box of ammo I came across some 9MM's I had loaded for the Lone Wolf conversion barrel I bought for the 23. I had never shot the barrel so I tossed it in the box. I broke down the 23 and loaded up a mag. OMG, JUST as good!!  Again 10 Yards...



VERY HAPPY!!!!

Did some more shooting today and found that the 200HP W/9.5G B Dot loads are not hot at all, NO expansion at the web what so ever. So I can try a 10th more and see...

Also this G20 dosen't have the tell tail FP strike generally seen on Glock brass...

What I also found was that one of the mags has a sluggish spring, dis assembly and cleaning did nothing and produced nothing. (Still not right)

I just ordered all factory internal parts and wolff X power springs... That should do the trick!!

Shooting again Thursday... man I LOVE this thing!

Well plans changed and Thursday at the range became Wednesday as another meeting was moved earlier tonight.... 
SO I grabbed the 10 a couple 45's and a pocket rocket.

I shot at 25 yards allot more and was again impressed!!  My 180 FMJ load of Bdot went into about 3-4" offhand without trying hard. When I applied myself and slowed a bit it was in the blk of a 50' T&R target. Then I tried the 200g loads. I did not notice the fireball out of the muzzle last week but WOW it is there!!! These did not prove as accurate but I am adjusting them as they show no pressure signs. Accuracy was about the same offhand but sitting off a rest was not allot better.

What suprised me was the lil pocket rocket. (NAA 22 mag) Mis fire after miss fire!!!  I don't know what happened I gotta take it appart maybe the main spring  is fatigued?? Light strikes are the cause.


I am really loving my G20!!
