Glock G20 or G40 as a woods gun?
I’m curious if anyone who has experience with both would like to weigh in with their opinions on the Glock G20 vs the Glock G40 as a woods gun.
If only one, which would you chose and why?
Up front, ... I have all 3 10mm Glocks.
But if your intended purpose is selecting between the G20 and G40 for use
only as a
dedicated woods gun, then I'd recommend the G40 - 'cause that's the singular role mine plays. Produces the highest velocity with
real 10mm factory ammo or handloads; 6.2" sight radius for better accuracy with the irons; MOS-capable; 15+1 capacity. Carried in a center-chest holster where it's immediately accessible.
It could also double as your handgun 'hunting' pistol if a 6.2" Glock longslide in 10mm AUTO is legal in your area.
Now, that said, if you toss in concealed EDC as a alternate use, then I'd choose the G20 instead. It can serve 'good enough' in both roles even if not as well as the G40 does purely as an outdoor/'trail & boonies' gun.
