I am looking into buying another Glock, I own a 22 model ( 40 S&W )  I am seriously looking into 10mm ported 20C model.  First will the pistol hold up?????  I have yet to hear glowing reveiws of any 10mm's long term durability, I am told Glock is the only one to chamber it with long term success, 1911 frames and several others I have come accross do not have a long service life????  The 10mm I read is roughly equivalent to a .41 magnum I am told a single shot is more than sufficient to place a target on their back.  How do ported Glocks perform????  Do the upward gases hinder fast sight acquisition????  Are they easily controlled and kept on target for rapid followups????  I have a ported extended .357 Sig 5 1/2" federal barrel for my model 22 I have yet to brake it in I will post feedback when I do!!!!

Any feedback appreciated,

Matt

I have a Glock 20C. I love it.  The ported guns are more  or less range guns versus carry or home protection, imho.  I carry a Glock 30 or a Kimber Pro carry 2. For home, I use my Sig 220ST.

I have a 19c and love it. Most accurate carry pistol I have. I also have a nonported barrel for carry use. The ported barrel gets used at the range most of the time.

Do the front sights stay on target for the followup/ double tap???????

My 20C and 21C are great guns.  Be advised though if you shoot from hip or close to the body you will eat hot gas.  Makes a world of difference when you are shooting, but again, hold it to close you will pay the price.  With that being said, I wouldn't trade mine for the world.

The C models definitely tame the recoil better than uncomp'd barrels.  But, not a great choice for carry / defense.  I don't like to shoot my 23C from retention.  Kinda unpleasant.

Sending lead down range will speed up your double taps through muscle memory.  Double taps are mostly operator dependant.

I have had the Glock 29 for awhile now, and I just got the 20 last week(not ported), my new favorite Glock. 10mm is a great round
