With the demise of the G20, which way should I go. The 10mm is addicting, and I have a couple hundred rounds of ammo to burn up, Underwood, Doubletap, and lesser.
This gun would be largely a range gun, and if some fool stranger decides to enter my home without knocking. The use as a carry gun would be less of a factor.

Witness elite...take your pick on model.
I am going with the Stock II as a range gun, not a carry piece. At 900 bucks and drop dead beautiful, a self defense matter can be achieved with a run of the mill Glock and others.

What's up with the G20? Elite series here as well.

Good plan. I would hate to get some guys blood on my Stock II. The humanity!! ;D
Yeah, and who knows how long before one even gets it back. :'(

Are you saying the Glock 20 is no longer being made?

Gen4 KaBoom. I have a post in the 10mm reloading section detailing the incident. Its a bit of a disapiontment to me, but it looks to me like out of battery or early release from lockup blew 'er up.
Greg
That too. Actually, that more. My son had a Beretta stolen and when recovered it stay'ed in evidence lock down for 3 years. I've been wanting to get another 10mm as well, but the pickings are somewhat limited. Speaking of which, Geeman, that Tanfoglio Elite Limited looks mighty fine...
Looks like EAA is getting a lot of love here.
How's the chamber support?
What mods might be necessary for shooting heavier loads?
I've always liked the 1911 style pistols, and double stact to boot. Every new suggestion sends me on an internet search.
Thanks for the input.
Greg
Here's some pics of my Stock II barrel. Aside from the ramp undercutting just a bit, it appears to be well supported. Some of that has to do with me when polishing that ramp transition to the bore (at the turn). Also shot a few extra pics of the barrel with the nose and chamber walls calipered. Pretty stout. FYI...the slide width is .975 and the dust cover is 1.0.

Now that I have a full size keyboard...
Elite Stock I would be my pick. It would make a fine range gun, and great bedside gun. But lacking the full length dust cover of the Stock II and the rail of the Stock III it could be carried, and carried covertly, if the need did ever arise.
I am a fan of fixed sites on handguns, but if that is a detraction for you, swap out that rear site with one of your choice. Since the slide is already cut for a Novak style site, finding an adjustable replacement is not going to be hard or expensive.
Limited, Stock 2, Pro or a 1006 will serve you well :o
If you haven't tried already, I would see if Glock will replace the frame or the entire gun. If they replace the entire gun, ask for a Gen 3. I'm much happier with the Gen 3 they replaced my Gen 4 with.
There have been some issues with the recoil spring assembly and the new Gen 4 line of G-20's...
I also suggest letting Glock look and see, they will work with you. Even if you have to pay its not that expensive for a new frame...$50 - $60. But I bet they will fix it for free... 8)
If you can, the Gen 3.
I bet Glock will replace it also, and I concur with getting a Gen 3. You can't go wrong with a S&W 3rd gen either, I love them. As far as 1911's, it depends on how deep your pockets are. The Rock Islands are probably the best bang for the buck according to reports from those that have them. I've been running a Para Longslide Hunter for the past month and absolutely enamored with this gun. I've had 1 FTF in 1400 rds. (Nearly all Underwood). The one FTF I blame on myself, limp wristed it when I got a little tired. It comes with a Storm Lake barrel and is very accurate. A true pleasure to shoot.
I'm good at twisting arms ;D

I had to pick two out of the four for the morning shoot. The Pro and 1006 are loaded up!

It twisted like a pretzel ;D
I gotta get the stuff for a custom XP sent off to the smith some time soon, and this is another on the list.

I've read that Glock is DCing the G20, but keeping it as the G20SF, which fits MY hand better than the G20.

OMG, I hate you. ;D That's a sweet collection! Why would anybody buy anything else? What ticks me off, for real this time, is that EAA jacked the prices way on up, but we already knew they were bargains when we bought 'em. I blame this forum and the Tanfoglio forum for this! Haha.
