Glock 20 Gen 5.
Simple, terrible ergonomics and trigger, ugly as sin, but she barks every time I tell her to.

G40 and a XDM Elite. G40 is more for fun but I do have a Kenai chest rig that makes it comfortable for the trail. XDM gets used a lot when scouting or being on the trails. Getting more lions and wolves where we hunt every year, less deer and elk….

A couple years ago I got a good deal on a used 9" Lone Wolf barrel but haven't tried it yet. 9" is too long, but my thoughts were to chuck it up in the lathe, cut it down and recrown. Honestly, I haven't seen any reason to not shoot the factory barrel.
**Edit, this is for my Gen 4, G40, 10mm.**

I agree. Glocks are not pretty. The ergonomics take range time to become accustomed to and to find the sweet spot your finger needs to sit on the trigger to not torque the pistol when you fire it. Their factory sights suck, bad.
The only pistol I shoot now besides the Glock is a 1911. That pistol was made for my hand. But the Glock is basically the AK 47 of the pistol world. It just shoots! And it holds more bullets.
Depends what Gen it is. I have an old early model Gen 2 and in factory form, wouldn't handle the spicy stuff. It was also marginal at best in the accuracy department. I replaced the spring/rod and went with a Lone Wolf barrel. It shoots hot Underwood, Buffalo Bore, etc. perfectly now. The only thing I don't like is the silly "wolf" engraving on top of the barrel.
BTW. It has north of 5000 rounds and still going strong.

Sorry I didn't add that my pistol is a Gen 4, G40, 10mm. I edited my post to reflect that.

Looks like you've got lots of opinions already.
I carry the XDM in the woods. I prefer the grip angle over the Glock.
I also have a Kimber but it's usually just a range gun.
I load Montana Bullet works 200gr coated bullet over aa#9 at a little over 1200fps.

I really like my FN510 tactical.
G20. It works. Never a ftf or jam. Yet.

Not to steer this thread in a different direction, but those of you with a Glock 20, what holster are you using and what is your preferred carry method? I have seen the ones that attach under the bino harness, which feel like would be too much weight, there are the chest harness (which just adds another strap to your shoulders), or there are some that attach to the MOLY on the frame pack belt (which probably would be the most comfortable). I see the pros and cons of each.
Also, do any of you guys have a Streamlight attached? I feel like there are not many holsters compatible with my Streamlight TLR-4. I can find the TLR-1 and the TLR-8, but not much on the TLR-4.

For those who've had both the Glock and Springfield XDM, what are the most significant differences and pros / cons between the two?
