Anybody got a a Lone Wolf Glock 20T? Seriously thinking about putting one together. I'd love to get reports from someone who's shooting one.
And... Pics are always appreciated!
No, but they sure are sharp looking!
I had one, to be honest was drawn in by the cool factor, and that it was. Having the tactical length seemed to be the answer to give me the added length for legal whitetail hunting, here in Ohio.
Truth be told, after finishing, the build, the only thing it actually enhanced, was the longer sighting plane over the factory slide. And, emptying my wallet, of somewhere around $600, for the complete build. The velocity gain with the longer barrel can be achieved with just the barrel change in the factory slide. So after two years of hunting with the tactical length, opted to sell off the slide, complete, at a slight loss, and just spending $125, and getting the tactical length barrel, to drop in my G20 for the two weeks of deer gun season.
The possible advantage I would see would be the slide weight increase. But I can't find specs to find out if the slide is heavier, or if the big chunk they cut out of the top keeps the weight about the same.
Even if the weight is the same, having the weight distributed further forward should reduce muzzle rise by a noticeable amount.

Gotta admit... I'm partly drawn by the "cool factor" as well. Why can't guns be boring and cheap...like most night time reality TV?

I'm thinking the weight is almost identical. Also, they made/make solid, no cut out like the 34/35. I would think that might add some weight. All I can say is I had a 17L, and there was no way I wanted a 10 sized similarly. Cumbersome, and holsters, even for hunting, are nearly impossible to find. Unless of course you find an Uncle Mikes, that is a make do, like their holsters are any way.

Will have to admit the cool factor is way up there. A Glock 10MM, with a longer, stainless, front cocking serrations, with some killer adjustable target sights, made for one hell of a setup!
For what it's worth, this is the holster I ended up going with!

Yeah. Sexy. That's the word!
There is the one that makes sense....All that extra weight.
