Ezveedub,

I'd love to hear if yours would work with the hotter 200gr loads where mine failed. I have a Rachis RSA I can send to you also if you'd like to try & let us know how it works in your gun. Didn't help my gun, but I saw a review of a 9mm that fixed it's issues with FTF. PM your info if you want me to send it, no charge.

I am most certain I would! I keep looking at one in a local store. The regular (large frame) fits my hand so nice. Eventually I'll have one ;D I have to buy my daughter a 17 first.

Understood....take care of the young lady. It's good that she shoots!

I originally thought you meant a 17th birthday party, until I remembered we were talking about Glocks.  :P

I'll see if I can get my hands on some Buffalo Bore 10mm ammo locally. Won't be able to do much for a week or two though. Traveling out of town for the next two weeks.

I'm actually grabbing some Underwood instead. Buffalo Bore locally is priced too high.

Ezveedub,

PM me with an address if you would like this Rachis RSA. They were really nice at Brassstacker offering me an unconditional refund. But, I would rather send it to someone who could use it & give it a try. I've had lots of help from this forum especially from Intercooler who exchanged a bunch of ammo with me . So, I would just as soon pass that along.

Davidf, I sent you a PM yesterday. Let me know if you received it.

DAVIDF

Got it. Thanks. Missed it somehow. I'll send out to you in a day or 2. Looking forward to hearing how the Underwood works in your Gen 4.

Ezveedub

OK, I just left the range. I had got some Underwood 200gr TMJ for my Glock 20 Gen4 based off the issues Davidf had. I carried some Georgia Arms 180gr JHP ammo also. I ran one magazine of the GA 180gr FMJ ammo (15rds), and then ran a complete box of UW 200gr TMJ (50rds). I had zero issues with the Glock 20 Gen4. Davidf did send me the Rachis RSA, but I let him know yesterday that I wouldn't use it, as I found out the spring on the Rachis rubs the barrel. I installed it last night and hand cycled the Glock (i always hand feel the action of my firearms wheninstalling parts) and noticed it didn't feel the same and actually started to loose a bit of spring tension just as the slide is about to close into full battery. It felt like the slide was going to stick with the Rachis RSA vs the stock Glock RSA, so I took it out and examined the Glock internals and noticed the spring has rub marks and a thin line formed on the bottom of the barrel just in front of the locking lug. Anyway, with this said, Underwood 200gr works fine for me in the Glock 20 Gen4. It is loaded hot compared to the Georgia Arms 180gr FMJ. You definitely feel the difference in recoil using Underwood 10mm ammo. When I get a chance, I'll get some Underwood 200gr XTP to try out.

How much is that?? I have to order most of my 10mm online, just curious.

Ezveedub,

Nice to hear yours works perfectly and that it is not a problem with all Gen 4's. And, thanks for the review of the Rachis.  I think I need to keep sending mine back until they replace it.

When I get a chance, I post some pics of the Rachis RSA when installed. I used to be able to post from Tapatalk on my phone, but can't since  it was updated.

The Underwood was $30.50/50rds for 200gr TMJ and the 200gr XTPs are $38.54, but those are not in stock right now. Right now, there's 135gr JHP ($36.20), 165gr TMJ and 180gr TMJ ($27.00) in stock at Underwood.

My local seller wanted the same prices for 20rd boxes of Buffalo Bore :-/

Here is a pic from the range yesterday with my G20 G4 and the Underwood ammo used.
