Looking at getting a new Glock, and I've heard whispers about this model but can't find jack about it online. Does anyone know if this is real and if so where/when I can get one?
Thanks. |
| I recently got a 31C..the 357Sig...this is my first and only Glock so far. The compensation helps reduce the muzzle climb as the gun seems to recoil rearward a bit more. The portion of your hand between the thumb and index finger will notice it. I really like mine and will probably buy another one. It is very accurate and comfortable to shoot. IMHO. |

I have been looking at compensated models strictly for the reason of the decrease in recoil. With the Glock models, I think the comp is overrated in decreasing the recoil. Granted, it will drop the muzzle flip some to allow for a bit quicker recovery for a follow-up shot, but recoil change is gonna be minimal, IMO. I had a Model 20 & then traded it in on the 20SF. Both models were easily controllable in rapid fire. The SF is a much more ergonomical feel to my hands & I have large hands. So you're on the right track there, IMO. I would also discourage a ported model for CCW or home defense as well. Porting allows for a much worse muzzle flash & should one hold the gun close to their body when firing, it won't buff out. 
Porting would also possibly melt/harm a hi-viz front sight as well, IMO. Probably doesn't do the standard plastic sight much good in the long either, IMO. My .o2 |
| My Glock 20SF is my 5th glock. But my favorite. No compensator needed. Make sure you take a handgun class if you haven't done so already. It's a little too spendy to shoot the glock 20 for a daylong handgun class. You'll need another glock for that. Make sure to get some full power Double Tap ammo for it. |

After you have the brass, the 10mm is as cheap to reload as a simple 40sw. You don't need another Glock to shoot once you have your reloads. |

My .o2 You're absolutely right about "C" model Glocks affecting muzzle rise for recovery time more so than recoil. On the matter of muzzle flash and firing from retention, I disagree. My EDC piece is a "C" model, and in firing it in reduced light and from retention positions I've found neither to be adversely affected by the factory porting. Nor have I ever had any issue with the Glock plastic sights or Trijicon night sights being affected. |
I built a 20Csf before Glock put out the 20sf. I shoot it almost every week in IPSC style shoots. The reduced muzzle flip is great. I agree it does not affect recoil. I have shot it in low light shoots with very "flashy" powder and have no trouble with vision. I would recommend one to anyone who thinks they want one.

I think the 20c has the 6.02in. barrel like the 17L. Something to think about. Nope. Its the std length compensated model. Glock does not make a 6" slide version of the 10mm. However, if they did they would likely double their sales of 10mm. Well COSteve beat me to it. C denotes compensated on any model. |
