New to 10mm and in deep!!

[livn68]

Hey guys,

About two months ago I made a trade for a gen 3 G20SF. By the time I shot the first round, I knew I was in trouble! I got my dies and components as well as did some work on the trigger, RSA (SS guide rod and 22# ISMI) and an extended slide stop lever.

About a month ago I decided with certainty that I'd be using this pistol for Wisconsin whitetails, so a long slide was in order. While in the middle of that project, I traded my former XDs 45 for a Gen 3 G29SF. I love this pistol and it carries like a dream with one of my holsters in the appendix position.

Well yesterday the mail lady dropped off some precious cargo from LWD and I dropped everything to assemble my slide. All I can say is wow! I love this thing!

Yesterday I went to the gun show down the street to browse for components and whatnot. It was a total let down, other than the  Burris FFII I found after my fifth pass through the show. He claims he only used it for one 3-gun match and didn't care for it. I picked it up for $100. Just need to pick up the glock mount and I'll be ready to rock! I'll probably go with the Springer Precision mount.

I plan to cerakote the slide but am still deciding on color. One of the newer LGS offered to do the slide, barrel, and small parts in exchange for a couple of custom holsters.

Here's some pics of my newly developed 10mm addictions

Sure! I didn't want to break any rules by plugging my business. My website is www.PoliteSocietyHolsters.com. I have to add more pictures to my site, but if you're on facebook, you can find a few more pictures.

Congrats!

I have a G20sf with 6" slide and 6.6" barrel- great setup!

Get yourself some reloading books, watch a few You Tube vids and a starter reloading set !!!!!!

I'm already reloading for it. grabbed the dies the day I got the G20. The Hornady LNL is crankin out plinking rounds, and the single stage is packing the heavy hunting loads!

Welcome to the forum!
I think I saw your posts of the Facebook 10mm fan page the other day.
Talking about in deep, I have a list of parts and 10mm builds to last me a couple of years!

Way to go !!!!!!

The mail lady dropped off my Springer Precision mount for the Burris FFII. I was able to get it mounted before heading to work and man is it nice! Can't wait to get to the range and zero this bad boy!

Livn'

Welcome; you have come to a smaller (in volume) but extremely high quality forum.  We are all glad you have seen the light and are a 10-believer!  I am really curious what kind of velocities you might get out of the extended barrel vs. the standard 4.6"?

Also, how would you compare the recoil of the 29 to the 20, as I am seriously looking at the 29 (already have a Glock 20 Gen 4)?

Thanks,

Pat
