Is a Glock G20 still the most practical 10mm woods gun out there?
Click to expand...
yes and no. i hunt regularly in bear country (black and brown both and sometimes you get the odd boar, bull moose, or cougar) and while i personally prefer .44 mag, a 10mm will suit you fine for personal protection against bears and similar.

best right now is either a Glock model 20 (or 41 with KKM barrel and other conversion bits) with XS or other large fiber optic sights that are quick and easy to point shoot, as well as capacity enough to either fend off or kill with adequate placement. another option if you aren't a Glock guy (and a lot aren't) is a 1911 built for 10mm - RIA has a "TAC Ultra" that is tough to find but is very nice for the money asked. upgrades for it i would suggest is a better extractor and sights. the TAC Ultra is widened like a Para-Ord for the 10mm and some series 70 and series 80 type parts will fit with minor adjustment.

another option is something you're good with, that you have access to, and will shoot safely the Buffalo Bore 220gr hard cast lead. big and heavy with enough mass to go through fur, hide, fat, meat, and bone with energy to do damage to an awful lot of critters out there, but it isn't safe in all handguns. the lead has very good characteristics (especially flowering wider on striking) when encountering softer materials without significantly losing mass or getting clogged and stopping too early.

The 10mm version of the SIG P220 is a damn nice gun as well. There are a lot more options these days for 10mm than there used to be. Personally for a bear gun that's not a long gun, I'd go with a magnum revolver with hard cast lead bullets. Ruger offers the Super Red Hawk in .454 Casull (which can also chamber .45 Colt like a .357 Mag with .38 Special) and .480 Ruger. They aren't the purdiest wheel gun out there, but they're damn tough.
 
You're an incredible faggot unless you own a 10mm.

Aside my hobbies of shit posting memes I am a pretty accomplished time traveler. Plato said 10mm is hotter than an post gym shower with the boys. Sun Tzu said forget my rules pop a nigga with a centimeter. Alexander the great said I actually suck at war i just hold the blicky sideways and persians drop. George Washington was having his 11th piss stop and had a ND sinking a British war ship saving America. Hamilton did a rap about it called the battle of York town.

So basically yes it's a good round.

Actually ok shit posts aside let me be real. I love it. I will tell you my entire g20 story and 10mm. I was starting to get really into collecting and wild car niche ammo (I'm a surplus fag at heart) got a good deal on a G3 g20. Because 4chan told me I'd be cool. So it was VERY important I impressed them. I started shooting pistols young and off hot 45 so recoil is something I'm used to. Not bragging nor looking back is this way to train people I just got lucky I sucked it up/adapted.

So the 10 I didn't have a problem with. Well as much a faggot as I am I didn't like the striker feel so I bought a trigger..while not perfect loved it. Still any of the ammo set to real loads bit asked the same 4chan idiots.. oh port it. Got a v port God damn it's now a dragon.

Years go by I'm happy with it I become more autistic and sad and gun educated. Sig brings out the 220 10. I pre order fuck yeah ball out. Little more than. I was ready to spend. Feel like a boss who needs a poor person gun traded in Glock.

Carry sig love it shits nice. Few weeks go by.. galco calls me yo no one has the elite dark x want to lend it for a holder? Yeeee. Carry my cz97 because that gun is sexy as fuck. Get it back all that.. I just feel the nice isn't worth it.. I'm worried about scratches... I have less ammo etc.

Go back to my ffl.. uhh here's my sig can I get a Glock 20.... Hey guess what never sold! FUCKING RIGHT! So I let sig go (it's a wonderful gun) got my g20 back and she's with me to this day.

Imma throw it at a tree just to show it I love her.

Thanks for reading my gay blog send me some reddit gold and like comment and subscribe to my YouTube.
 
Alright, I efiled an an individual for a surefire 22 ryder at my local shop when they opened. I've got a timer running on how long it takes from when I left the store to get the phone call that it's gone through. :aug::deagleleft::deagle::augleft:

I'm normally a classic wood and steel guy but i've always been attracted to the keltec CMR30, especially when SBR'd (why they don't offer a pistol version IDK). I HATE modern polymer gun aesthetics. the first gen polymer guns from the 70s/80s had great style to them (USP etc) but now they are just goofy lines and greeblies everywhere. Keltec has retained some of that old school styling even in their newer guns.
its like a poor mans MP7. and 22mag has good performance on soft targets (IIRC 5.7 is similar to 22mag in pistol length barrels in regards to performance on flesh so its no slouch. obv 5.7 outperforms 22mag in rifle length).

Personally have one of those on my wishlist because it's just so weird. A 22 mag "pistol" with a 30 round mag. Fucking wild ass shit out of a comic book.

I have some experience with them and it was pretty terrible, although my sample size is admittedly small. A friend of mine bought one new, along with probably a half-dozen magazines; he was pretty excited & I was too. But it never ran. With anything. Even after buying new mags and finally sending it back to Keltec for servicing. Twice.

It suffered from everything at different times; besides an overall sloppy fit which makes zeroing almost impossible (yet still needs to be drenched in oil to cycle), failures to feed & extract, bolt overrides & rim lock (unless you got double lucky with the magazine), and it sometimes keyholed for no apparent reason.

Eventually he sold it on to another mutual friend who was positive he could fix her (which went about as well as expected), and another after that; finally showing up at my doorstep like an abused, unwanted orphan.

I kept the thing mostly because I felt sorry for it, but I did still take it for a complete teardown & inspection by a Keltec-focused autist/gunsmith, who also couldn't find anything obviously wrong that would keep it from shooting an entire magazine without choking. At this point I can't sell it down the road in good conscience, knowing it's history & functionality; but it's a shame because the CMR-30 would definitely be one of my favorite plinkers if it ever decided to work correctly.

Honestly sounds like a tek 9 with all the issues. That is terribly sad.

I've had Nerf guns with better fitment, but probably half the issues would be solved if they were in a centerfire cartridge like .17 HMR or .22 Hornet; although I doubt it'd hold up to the beating of 9mm. There's been a few times I've idly wondered about somehow converting it to .22 Hornet, but then the thought of everything else rapidly dissuades me.
Edit: some lucky bastard found this in a scrap pile at a yard sale in Arkansas....

"nothing obviously wrong with it but it still won't work" to me screams bad part tolerances, where you may have parts on the upper end of acceptable tolerance that sometimes causes them to interfere, or a similar kind of mismatch. I'm sure parts have been swapped in an effort to fix it but it could just be a cursed receiver or something lol
 
Pulled out my handloading manuals and 10mm seems full of fun possibilities. I thought being an autist about bullet set back in a 9mm round was fun, oh boy 10mm loads look fun. Time to save my pennies.

Any of you guys with 10mms ever shoot 40 thru them?

Yeah out of my 10 mil Ronin, you have to do it one at a time because of the length difference and you shoot it and won't cycle far back enough to feed another round. However as a general rule you don't wanna shoot anything that it's not chambered for because of there could be a gap even if it's the smaller of the parent cartridge.

I finally got my hands on a G17L, I think there is something primal in me that just likes it so much more than the 17 or 19 "standard" size. I've owned 3 different 17/19s and I always ended up trading them for something else. I don't think this will be the case, I can't explain it.

That seems like one of those "everyone on the bus clapped" stories. I've seen some oddballs at rummage/garage sales but that was like 10-15 years ago and they were overpriced even then.
 
Talking with a coworker today and found out that our local FFL has been turning people down when they ask him to do a transfer. Apparently there's another guy in town doing it now, maybe...However, he also offered me a Canik C-100 for $300. Offered to let me shoot it to see if I like it or not as well.

It's a CZ-75 Compact clone, so it's sized for carry. It would be better than the Cobra .380 my dad just bought for $200 😬

If anything it's a good example of tolerance stacking & lazy production values. Individually components are within spec, but only barely; once put together they conspire to protest or cease working altogether, sometimes in consensus but other times not.
