I just wanted to share a little success story with everyone here because, as some of you know, I’ve been hunting for a brand-new Glock 20 Gen 5 for about six months, on and off.

As most of you know, the Gen 5 Glock 20 has been discontinued, and finding one brand-new for a reasonable price has become a serious challenge. I’ve posted in this group and several others multiple times asking for help finding one. I’ve called countless gun shops all over the Phoenix Valley, searched online, and pretty much exhausted every option I could think of. The only ones I could consistently find online were going for around $1,500 on GunBroker and other websites. Hard pass.
A little about me: I live in the Valley but have a cabin in Northern Arizona that I visit pretty frequently. I’m 23 and slowly but surely building my collection. I already have several SIGs and Glocks in 9mm, but I’ve wanted something with a little more power for hiking, camping, hunting, and exploring the mountains. I understand we don’t have grizzly bears or anything like that here in Arizona, but some of my family members have cabins in Alaska and Montana that I visit occasionally. Between those trips and spending time deep in the Northern Arizona wilderness, I figured the Glock 20 would be a great addition to my collection.

Fast-forward to about two weeks ago. I had just finished a gym session and decided that today was finally going to be the day I found one. I sat in the gym parking lot for nearly TWO HOURS, calling what felt like every gun shop in Arizona. At that point, I was willing to drive several hours if that’s what it took.

Eventually, I found a shop that said they had one in stock. I was honestly shocked. After months of getting nowhere, I could hardly believe it. I think I must have insulted the guy by asking him three separate times to confirm it was brand-new and not used. 😂

He checked the price and came back with $875. I was ready to jump in the truck and go get it immediately, but something told me to keep looking. Even though these things are getting harder to find, I had a feeling I could still find one for a more reasonable price.

About 45 minutes later, I found ANOTHER shop that had one brand-new for $620. They were about an hour and a half away, but I happily made the drive knowing that one of my dream guns might finally be waiting for me.

When I got there, the owners explained that they had purchased a bunch of them months before they were discontinued and had been selling them off ever since. They also chose not to jack up the price just because the gun had become harder to find. They kept it around Glock’s original MSRP of $620.
These guys were awesome, and I felt incredibly lucky to walk out with what turned out to be the LAST ONE they had in stock.

Almost every other gun shop I called either laughed when I asked about finding a brand-new Gen 5 or told me good luck because I wasn’t going to find one. If I did, they said, I’d probably be paying $1,500 or more.

But I figured somebody, somewhere, had to have one left.

Sure enough, I finally found it.
Anyway, I wanted to share this because I’ve asked for help in this group and others throughout my search, and I genuinely appreciate everyone who offered advice, leads, or suggestions. After months of searching, I can finally say I got one!
I’m absolutely stoked to add this to my collection alongside my Glock 19X and the rest of my firearms. Sometimes you just have to keep looking, make a few phone calls, and get lucky.

Six months of searching, a two-hour phone marathon in a gym parking lot, and a three-hour round trip later… mission accomplished.

Glock 20

Holosun optic

700 bucks

So I picked this up probably 7 months ago for 400$ and a Milwaukee socket set from some lady lol and I love it!! It was my holy grail for awhile but I’ve fallen out of love with it, I was going to carry it but was worried about scratching it or getting it stolen. Especially with how much they are going for now. I also thought about selling it to build an AR pistol I’ve been wanting for awhile but I think I’ll regret it, I need advice on what I should do!!

This my new lil in the woods buddy. Gonna hunt with it this coming weekend in one of my short range/bow spots for the Veterans and youth early gun week. Only will be shooting within 75 yards. Will be using 200 grain XTP Underwood ammo. Its a damn thumper.....

I just was out trying it out and 1 out of the 2 magazines that came with the gun would jam. could it be the feed lips? M&P 2.0 10mm/Blazer 10mm. And I had gotten a 22lb spring was planning to use this for bear protection didn’t help it any. and it would usually jam on the second to last or the last one.

Grand Power Stribog sp10a3🔥
@5K rounds in a year and a half. This thing is a beast

I picked up this pistol a few months ago and have run ~1000 rounds of full-ish power 10mm thru it (sig sauer fmj and hollow points, buffalo bore and magtech) and have not had one jam and this pistol is a tack driver. The trigger pull is so light and all my hits end up right where I aim it. Deadly accurate, fun to shoot and handles recoil better than my glock 20 gen 5 does. Also just thankful 10mm exists because it's the best caliber. No point to this post other than to brag I'm having too much fun.

I have a Gen 4 Glock 20. It's a pleasure to shoot when it runs but I have had nothing but trouble with Magtech 180 grain FMJ specifically. It's a shame because I bought 2,000 rounds of it due to the great price at the time, but I've had the following issues with it:

1. Failure to Extract - empty brass case slips off of the extractor and sticks halfway out of the chamber. I replaced the extractor, extractor plunger assembly, and recoil spring with OEM parts and still had the issue reoccur around once every other full magazine. I then went and replaced the new, stock recoil spring with a NDZ recoil spring assembly. Stepping up to a 22 LB recoil spring seems to have slowed down the slide velocity enough to stop the extractor from slipping off the case.

2. Failure to feed - Magtech FMJ gets caught on the feed ramp, still halfway in the magazine. I have +10% power springs in all of my magazines. This also occurs every other magazine.

3. Slide locking back with 1-2 rounds left in the magazine. I think I've solved this issue with a new slide stop and the +10% magazine springs.

I have shot several other brands of 10mm that are considered underpowered, including Blazer and Aguila, with no issues. I know that is weaker stuff for 10mm, but I've also run several boxes of Sig V-Crown 180 grain JHP through the gun with 100% reliability on the stock recoil spring. This leads me to believe the issue is the Magtech FMJ. It is dirty but does chrono around 1150 FPS, which is full power 10mm out of that barrel length.

Has anyone else had issues with Magtech 10mm? At this point I'm inclined to pay ~5 CPR more to get S&B or another brand, which sucks because I'm used to my 9mm Glocks running basically anything.

I made a post a few weeks ago about the manual safety install I did on my Xten with the SigMechanics kit.

Rounds 0-300ish were great post install but I hit the 500 mark today and am realizing that I definitely messed something up.

The safety lever has started to fly into safe position after maybe the 4th or 5th shot. I thought it was my grip but I’ve ruled that out.

I’m not blaming the Sig Mechanic’s kit at all but I would like to amend my earlier post to say that maybe this kit isn’t THAT easy to install and should probably be done by a professional.

Im probably due for a recoil spring replacement and I’m wondering if any Xten owners here have had good luck finding a heavier replacement?

Hey everyone,

I want to buy a 10mm to augment my Glock 20.5 and 29.4. I have fallen down a week long research rabbit hole regarding the smith and FN. The smith (PC) seems to have issues regarding the mag springs, recoil spring, and possibly the extractor. The FN has frame cracking issues. With SW, you can buy the aftermarket parts and fix this (mostly) and FN, well you’re not fixing a cracked frame, but newer models are reinforced with extra metal. Does anyone have any input on which is the best option for reliability. If the reliability won’t match my Glocks, it serves me zero use. The FN issues on Reddit seem limited within the last, making me optimistic that FN fixed this issue. Unfortunately, M&P seems to still be problematic. With bias removed, which is the better gun?

Thanks for the thought.

kenai gunfighters, invader concepts or something else entirely?

I have a Glock 20 Gen 5 and plan to run a Streamlight TLR-1 HL-X. I’m looking for recommendations for a quality Kydex holster, although I’m open to other materials / options if there’s a better option for my intended use.

This will be my outdoor, hiking, hunting and camping setup, so I need something secure, durable, and comfortable to wear for extended periods.

Ideally, I want a chest holster but more importantly I would love a mid-ride, drop-offset mounting setup (similar to the picture) that keeps the holster positioned just a couple inches below the belt or a standard belt holster. Plus it allows it to clear a fully loaded hiking or hunting backpack, including the shoulder straps and other gear.

I’m having a difficult time finding a holster that accommodates both the Glock 20 Gen 5 and the TLR-1 HL-X while also offering the mounting configuration I want.

Has anyone found a setup that checks all these boxes? I’d appreciate recommendations for specific holster manufacturers, compatible models, or alternative mounting systems that work well for hiking and hunting with a full pack.

Rugged Obsidian 45 on a Ruger LC10 10mm. I'm gunna guess this gap is a "no go?" Anyone else see a small gap (probably less than 1 mm) if they are running this set up?

I've had my gen4 G20 for over a year now and I absolutely love it! But this happened to me on every range trip until I started training for a more gentle insertion to prevent said log-jammin'. Happens with all of my G20 mags, most of which were brand new when I got them, and all types of ammo. Is this a common issue? I'm not slamming them with an amount of force I would consider unreasonable, and I can slam 9mm mags into my 17s, 19s, and 26 all day and it never happens. Anyone fix this with aftermarket springs or anything?

Picked up all 3. Never the less in California!! What a Journey!

I've had my XDM 10mm for about a year now. Great gun, and I like it. The use case for me is bear defense. My current setup:

• Talon Grips
• Osight XE enclosed optic
• Kenai chest holster

Here are some ideas for future mods. Some are pretty well documented, but others are kind of hard to find user reviews of (I promise I searched).

• Stainless steel guide rod with a few different recoil springs. Add some weight up front and figure out if there is a spring weight that will keep me from slinging brass 30 feet away. The Elite comes with a captured recoil spring, and all the guide rods I see for sale say they don't work with my gun, but I'm pretty sure people have made it work.
• Threaded barrel from Springfield. Only if I want to put a comp on the gun. No need to suppress 10mm. Fast and furious, baby.
• Springer Precision compensator - It's the only one I could find specifically for the XDM 10mm. Maybe there is something else that would work better. I shot my first comped pistols the other day (P365 x macro comp and Canik TTI combat), and I was really impressed with how flat they shot. That's why I'm considering this particular mod.
• Flashlight - No idea what to look for. I'm a cheap-ass, so I'd probably get the Harbor Freight light. I already have a kydex press, so I could make a custom holster that would buckle into my Kenai harness.
• Powder River Performance trigger - I don't know about this one. I don't hate the stock trigger. Maybe another option would work, but the PRP is the one I hear about the most.

I'd appreciate any feedback from the community on my ideas. Thanks in advance!

I know this isn't a glock sub, but lots of us have a g20 mt question is have yall made any type of changes like triggers,recoil springs,slide releases anything like that?

finally cold enough outside to carry this thing, yippee

running an aegitec hybrid defense belt and JM custom kydex holster with the pull-the-dot loops. super comfy setup but definitely prints still, mostly the optic. i don’t like carrying it unless i’m wearing a jacket or some other kind of outer layer

yes i know my mirror is dirty 😅

Seeing conflicting information regarding the subcompact best mm.

Is the G29.5 still made, still made but only available to LE, or phased out/no longer available at all?

I know the Harbor Freight is big ass hell but she runs like a champ. Didn’t take my dog with me because he went in the same hike yesterday and needs his rest :)

After having so much fun with the 2.0 Performance Center 10mm, had to get the foldy-boi. Just flew in from a trip and immediately went to pick it up. Can't wait to test it. *CA edition. The fin makes it ultra uncomfortable
