I just sold a handgun today I wanted to replace it will a gen 2 glock. I was looking for a full size gen 2 and stumbled across this g20.
I offered the shop $360 but they were firm at $399. Is this a good deal for a 1991 G20? It comes with two mags. 10mm is scarce at the moment which is another thing that worries me. |

Not a terrible price, if its in nice condition and the mags are standard capacity. If you're just looking for a large frame, I'd hold out for a 21. I've seen Gen2 police trades for <$350. Mags are standard capacity. I like the idea of 10mm. I guess I could always throw a .45 conversion barrel in it if ammo becomes a problem. I think I will end up offering the pawn store 3-5 ar mags+plus $360 for it tomorrow. The PX had some 10mm jhp in stock so I think I will clean them out tomorrow. ETA: Thanks for the advice. |

There is no .45acp conversion barrel for a G20. There is a 10mm conversion barrel for a G21; reports are spotted about extraction issues with the 10mm conversion barrels. I shoot a G20, but reload, so ammo shortages aren't concerning me at the moment.
Those standard-cap mags might be worth $100 each really soon. Good for you, unless you want to buy some more.

On the Glock 20 slide, the notch where the extractor holds the cartridge against the breechface is only wide enough for a 10mm case. So if you wanted to convert a Glock 20 to shoot .45 ACP, you'd need not only a .45 ACP barrel and magazines, but also a different slide. |
