glock 20 longslide 6.6 vs 1911 5inch for hogs and deer

Yes..All else being equal the polygonal rifling has less resistance and produces slightly higher velocities.

But, if I fired 10 shots over a chrony you would be hard pressed to tell me which were which based on velocity alone.

Good to know.

I have 2 G20 and two after market 6" barrels.  I collected a few 10mm including a Wilson Hunter.  The g 20s are my favorite for hunting.  I hunt at very close range, close enough that the pig will here you cock the Hammer.  The Glock makes no sound.  That is why I hunt with safety triggers and DA revolvers or s&w da/Sa 10mm.  My favorite s&w is the 1006

I would take the Glock just so I would not damage the DE, I would hate to get a DE scrached up or dropped while hunting but if it happened to the Glock I would not be near as upset.

If I were hunting with a 1911 I would carry it cocked and locked, not doubt.  No hammer to hear.

The safety maybe...

Okay, so maybe when all parameters are set up correctly, then polygonal rifling should show at least a tiny bit more velocity than if the same barrel was cut/broach-cut/button/hammer-forged rifled?

This is generally true, but some barrels are just faster than others, It can be a significant difference too.

I have shot a lot of 11 gr Blue Dot and a 200 gr Nosler in two after market 6" barrels.

I went over this very same question many times during my quest to find the ultimate 10mm launcher.  I've owned all manners of 10mm Glocks, longslide Glocks, 1911's and longslide 1911. 

I'd stick with the longslide Glock if you already have it.  The Delta doesn't have that great of case support, either.
