Sweet. Congratulations! I'm trying it out for the first time this fall myself. I'll be using 220 gr Underwood hard cast.

Some people like AR's a lot and don't mind paying for what they want, being aesthetics, a specific configuration or whatever. I say do what you want. As an aside, I am generally a fan of supporting manufacturers putting out things you'd like to see more of....like 10mm carbines...and this being a discussion forum, seeing different reviews makes it more interesting.

I think the board has been offering advice to save you some cash on a similar product that will likely perform the same. That's all. Not exactly a bag of d!cks.

An acquaintance in Montana suggested these to me yesterday. He hunts over there with Underwood 220gr Hard Cast primarily, and and said these perform well in the reduction of felt recoil. Just curious if anyone had any additional experience.

I ordered one for testing. Here's the product description from my receipt:

Product ID: GK20DA
Product Name: For Glock 20, 10mm, 400 Corbon GENERATION 1-3 Dual Action Recoil Spring/Stainless Steel

I don't use that one exactly. They were not out when I got my gen3 g20. I use a similar idea from a different company. Gunblast reviewed them. The concept really helps. I run the stock Glock barrel and it eliminated brass issues in the Underwood ammo. So I shoot just about everything I can get my hands on and it just runs great.

Thanks for responding, good to know.

Long Live the King!!

The Coonan pistol is a fresh redesign of their .357 magnum using a Colt type frame and many compatible parts.

However, it is a balls to the wall MONSTER when it comes to lock up and dwell time, because the Coonan locking system was originally designed for the .357 Magnum. They designed their new weapon, all ready with a cult following, to take the 10mm. In effect they  Downloaded  their weapon to accommodate the 10mm! The factory literature challenges you to not just use pussycat loads and "watch your recoil springs" but to use full power loads as much as you want.  The company brags that shooting the Coonan is a mind changing experience and revels in the basketball sized fireballs its weapons throw. 

Yes, I have ordered one as my carry weapon. Full Range report and disassembly and test review as soon as I can get my hands on her.

Well this should be interesting. Are you having a carry holster custome made? If so where the heck did you find the molds? What position are you planning on carrying? What are the full loads you're planning on carrying?

You don't have to wait until it arrives to start the review, set the table.

Did I miss what "the new king"...is?

HK45C but 10mm - Totally on board.

Witness P-Compact but that actually works with full power ammo - On board.

Something like my 90% complete Para P12-10mm CCO sized gun.  Who knows how mine will run, but I have high hopes.

I am increasingly interesting in something compact but with a hammer.  I like my Glock 29, but prefer something I can control the firing mechanism on via tactile interface when holstering in an appendix carry.

100% agree with the hammer, my preference as well. Appreciable confidence difference when reholstering appendix. I do it with striker fired guns all the time, but I feel a ton better with the spurs. HK would be my first choice, but likely the last ones to consider it. I've been leary about the smaller 1911's from the things I've heard and read, and I haven't fully accepted they can handle the stout stuff long term. Hence the polymer EAA suggestion.

Maybe hanging out here will change my mind.

I'd pay two grand for any factory HK 10mm handgun, any series. If they could make the USPC work, I'd buy several.

I have a Kriss Vector SDP in 10mm. Thinking I could stamp it and replace the barrel with a cut down carbine barrel later, since they sell pistols and carbines. That way I could enjoy the sub gun while I waited, and it shares mags with the G20.

The ballistic charts I've studied seem to indicate that 10" is the sweet spot for maximization of most commercial ammo, so losing 6" of barrel is a good thing for versatility without giving up performance.

Well, the barrels are factory press fit, and I can't seem to source one without buying the rifle. So I haven't stamped the pistol as a result. Having the extra support points still makes it versatile over a pistol, and it's fun as hell to shoot, but c'mon. It's a lot of money to be stuck at this point.

Holding out hope for the new Ruger PC takedown Carbine to go 10mm soon.

I found another thread from last year on this topic, but after getting the red necropost warning, I decide to start a new one. Not sure it's needed on a site with this little traffic, but I'm new and didn't want to break a best practice of etiquette.

With EAA and Glock having measurable success and new 10mm guns popping up on the regular, I'd really like to see some  of those new options being produced in the carry category. I understand the reduced sales figures from larger counterparts, but I haven't met a single 10mm shooter that's opposed to a more carry friendly version. The only ones that say it isn't desirable....don't carry anyway...or don't live and work in environments where the concealed remaining concealed part is essential.

Why a carry version? I say why not? Heck, I'd be happy with a polymer single stack with a 4" barrel, like an XDs 4. They're already making most of these sub compacts in .45 ACP, it's not much design time to accommodate the 10mm.

Here are some pistols I'd like to see made in 10mm

XDs 4
Glock 36
Kahr CW/P 45 CM/PM 45
Tangfolio Poly 1911 Commander
Stoeger Cougar 45
Sig P239, or even a P220 that's standard sized.
Any HK in a Compact or SK model...p2000, P30, USP, VP
Walther PPQ SC 45

I'd prefer the single stack versions, but the rest are concealable with a little more effort. Why not get full sized 40 performance out of a compact? Anyway, I feel the same way about carbine availability. But maybe that's another thread.

Gen 3 Glock 20SF
Deus Ex Machina trigger kit, stock otherwise.

No problems so far of any kind shooting the following:

Armscor 180gr FMJ
American Eagle 180gr FMJ
Federal 180gr Hydrashock JHP

I've got some Underwood sampling's on the way with lighter and heavier projectiles. I'll update.

Thanks.

In other news...Are you also known as "Kuma" on a different forum?

Yup. My usual forum name was taken so I had to improvise.

Unless you have freakish monster hands, I don't see a single problem this solves any better than a magazine extension. I just don't get it. Some of the other features are cool, but the purpose of the pistol eludes me.

Speaking as someone whose little finger partially hangs off the bottom of the 19's grip, enough that I've blood-blistered it during fast magazine changes, I'm rather glad they went with a 17's grip. Also, unlike the Gen5s, it doesn't have the cutout at the bottom of the frame that I hate the feel of in my hand.

I'm glad they keep making different versions as you never know what someone might like. I honestly didn't expect to like the 19X when I first heard of it. That all changed as soon as I handled one.

If they bring out a 17X with the same flat frontstrap without cutouts, I'll probably buy one of those as well. And I'd jump all over a mid-sized 10mm if they go down that road.

That's fair, large hands. I always hated the 19 for the finger groove spacing not lining up. The 17 and 26 were fine in that regard. I agree about new versions, just that Glock takes forever. Witness that mid sized 10mm they would sell like hot cakes...well by 10mm standards anyway.

Unless you have freakish monster hands, I don't see a single problem this solves any better than a magazine extension. I just don't get it. Some of the other features are cool, but the purpose of the pistol eludes me.

My name is Eric and I'm in SE Michigan. I've been circling the 10mm round, specifically, for a few years due to a friend's enthusiasm. I bought two firearms in the caliber last year and I'm finally getting around to really exploring what they and it can do.

I've always been fascinated by heavy magnum pistol calibers, my first pistol shots coming from a .41 magnum revolver many moons ago. In terms of semiautomatic pistols, the 10 finally became mainstream enough to me to go all in.

Anyway, here to learn and perhaps share some of my experiences along the way.
