[QUOTE="Randominator, post: 972582, member: 22593"] As far as the Glock 20SF you mentioned, you will not be sorry. I have been shooting mine for over three years and it is an outstanding weapon. I have shot Nosler 150 and 180 JHP's and cast bullets ranging in weight from 190 to 230 grains. I believe the 230's are a little heavy, but anything around 200 grains works great in the 10mm. I did change the barrel on my G20 to a 6" KKM, the main reason was to gain a little more velocity. I have shot cast bullets out of the factory barrel and saw no signs of leading. As cheap as aftermarket barrels are, I recommend one for lead bullets just to be on the safe side. If you handload, the aftermarket barrels give a lot better case support and will extend the life of your brass dramatically. Other than the KKM barrel, I have installed a 3.5 lb. Ghost connector, a JPoint reflex sight, and I use a 22 lb. recoil spring on a SS captured guide rod when shooting heavier loads.

Nosler 180 grain JHP @ 1320 fps. WFNGC 190 grain @ 1335 fps. All three loads will group 2" @ 35 yards. The cast bullet is an excellent round in the 10mm. This bullet is cast from a custom mold from Accurate Molds.
