First off, I might have set myself up for this from the beginning since Glocks don't point naturally well for me. They point high, but I felt the larger frame and slide weight would help this issue.
Let me back up a little and say that the 10mm is a fantastic cartridge when loaded to its full potential, like Underwood does. The recoil is very manageable. My XDm 40 feels more snappy to me. I got this for a woods carry pistol. The idea of a 15 round magazine instead of 6 rounds inside a heavy revolver was more appealing to me, so I sprung for a new G20.
The trigger felt fine at the gun counter, but after a few range sessions, it has seemed a bit mushy to me on each trip to the range. The reset is fine, but I'm not pleased with the overall feel of the pull form first engagement to fire. I've been told Glock triggers are pretty good, and that they are all pretty much the same. "A Glock trigger is a Glock trigger." Well, if that's the case, then I'll pass on the Glock trigger, based on my sample of one.
Next are the sights. I think this is the first change that I will make if I don't get rid of the pistol before hand. The rear "U" is really funky and covers up the front dot too much. A 3-dot is by far superior as is the Kahr style "dot the I." I'm thinking night sights or a fiber optic front dot?
I've shot 3 different types of ammo, and all seem to display the same level of accuracy, which is my accuracy level at this point. I obviously don't shoot this pistol well...yet. I'm minute-of-bad-guy at 25 yards, but I'm much, much better than that with all my other pistols. I shoot this G20 to the left consistently, not much, but noticeable. Is that trigger control? Too big a grip size? The frame size of the G20 is large, and all the grip inserts make it larger. I've shot it with the standard grip and the medium beavertail insert. I'm 6' 2" but have medium size hands. I am concerned that this might be too big for my hands. I can palm a basketball, so....?
The only complaint I have about the function and reliability of the gun is that empty magazines wont drop free. All 3 factory mags that came with the pistol will hang up after falling about an inch or so is all. This has me ready to either send it back to Glock or just get rid of it. Perhaps I got one that's not up to Glock standards. It happens to all manufacturers, but so far, I'm not letting Glock stamp my forehead. I really want to like this pistol.
