Glock 20 GEN 4 – 10mm

Description

Product Overview

The Glock 20 GEN 4 is a full-sized, semi-automatic pistol chambered in the potent 10mm Auto cartridge. Designed for users who require superior ballistic performance and high capacity in a durable, reliable package, this handgun is a premier choice for backcountry defense, hunting, and duty use. It bridges the gap between a standard service pistol and a more powerful revolver cartridge, offering a significant step up in muzzle energy from common calibers like 9mm Luger or .40 S&W. The GEN 4 iteration incorporates Glock’s latest ergonomic and recoil management enhancements, making this formidable caliber more controllable and customizable for a wider range of shooters. With its 15-round standard magazine capacity and rugged polymer frame, the Glock 20 stands as a versatile and powerful tool for the serious shooter.

Key Features

• 10mm Auto Caliber: Delivers exceptional muzzle energy (approximately 550 ft/lbs with full-power loads) for deep penetration and reliable expansion, making it effective against a variety of targets.
• Gen4 Recoil Reduction System: Features a dual recoil spring assembly that significantly dampens felt recoil, improving control and enabling faster follow-up shots even with powerful 10mm ammunition.
• Modular Back Strap System: Includes multiple interchangeable back straps (with beavertail options) to customize grip circumference and angle, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for various hand sizes.
• High-Capacity Magazine: Comes standard with a 15-round magazine, providing substantial firepower for hunting, defense, or extended range sessions without frequent reloading.
• Rugged Polymer Frame: The lightweight yet incredibly durable polymer frame resists corrosion and environmental extremes, contributing to the pistol’s overall weight of just 27.51 ounces (unloaded).
• Proven Safe Action System: Incorporates Glock’s signature three independent safety mechanisms (trigger, firing pin, and drop safety) for secure operation without manual safeties to disengage.

Performance & Applications

Backcountry and Hunting Companion: The Glock 20 GEN 4 is uniquely suited for wilderness protection and hunting medium game at close ranges. The 10mm cartridge offers the ballistic authority to be an effective choice for hunters as a primary or backup firearm, while the pistol’s lightweight polymer frame and 15-round capacity make it less burdensome to carry than a revolver or larger firearm. Its reliability in adverse conditions ensures functionality when it matters most.

Duty and Home Defense: For authorized personnel in environments where threat potential may include large animals or require barrier penetration, the Glock 20 serves as a capable duty weapon. For home defense, its high capacity and manageable recoil system (in the GEN 4) provide a significant advantage, though users must always consider over-penetration risks and select appropriate ammunition. Its simple manual of arms under stress is a key benefit.

Sporting and Range Use: As a challenging and rewarding pistol to master, the Glock 20 appeals to enthusiasts seeking to develop advanced recoil management skills. Its accuracy and robust construction make it an excellent platform for competitive shooting in power-focused divisions or simply for high-volume training with a variety of 10mm loadings, from full-power to milder practice rounds.
