G20 SF FTF hunting loads

[gator378]

I also shoot the Gen 3 Glock 20SF; if your reluctant to do the stipple job you might consider Talon Grips.  Pretty inexpensive and come in couple different texture preferences. 
I've used them on several of my polymer pistols and been satisfied (particularly so the Glock) with the extra purchase on the pistol grip.

Damn my model 629 44 Mag looks better all the time.  It goes bang no matter what.  My old G20 generation 1.0 goes bang about 99.9 per cent of the time with 200 g XTP 13.0 grains of AA#9.

Can you post a pic of your G20? They G20 should have started out as a gen 2.

Gator, I have a Redhawk 45C that is 100% and things happen at both end of the gun, 300gr at over 1350 is to be respected.

[RJPDVM]

49er what aspects or views are pertinent?  Field stripped or just profiles.?

[4949shooter]

Both if possible. But just profiles would be fine.

Magnum Revolvers have their problems also. If the bullets aren't crimped tight enough they can come out under recoil. I have had it happen with my 357 Magnum and 41 Magnum guns. The 41 Magnum ammo was factory Remington. I have not had it happen with 44 Magnum yet. I might be because my 44 Magnum is a heavy 8" S&W 629.

Thanks Bro. Looks like a Gen 3 as it has the finger grooves and "frying pan" type finish.

Beautiful Glock!

Is the malfunction issue solved?

[RJPDVM]

THE last trial was controlled and only 1 failure. I received a "granular" texture Talon grip and Im going to apply it later and try it out. I can cut my fingernails with it when Im not shooting.

FTF always confuses me. It could mean Fail To Feed and Fail To Fire. Could we change Fail To Feed to Fail To Cycle (FTC)?

[RJPDVM]

FT-Feed, I understand. But anyhow the trial of 10 rds with the Talon Grips installed was inconclusive. The first was fine the next two showed the fast slide slow magazine malfunction. I changed the position of my grip a bit and the rest of the ten rounds fed as expected. May be a side benefit that the group size may have been a tad better with the talon grip. This is better than the results I had a few weeks ago when I started this thread. At that point I was seeing about 50% failures.

[Olgo]

It's probably all in the Technics. Maybe how you grip it.

[RJPDVM]

No doubt at this point thats its a factor. I may try . Restricting hunting loads to 180gr just to reduce muzzle flip. The Barnes 155 might be a consideration, but theyre kinda proud of them, at least for practice.
