Current favorite is Underwood 135 grain. Recoil is surprisingly good and accuracy is excellent.

I've got Sig V-Crown 180 in my mags, I don't have much stashed for the G20 as it isn't my go to urban SHTF handgun to begin with but I do keep stashed away a box each of Hornady 180 XTP, Hornady 175 Critical Duty, and Buffalo Bore 180 JHP.

I loaded some Federal HST bullets (.40 S&W 180 grain JHPs) for my Glock 20SF that did some amazing things to ballistic gel and a spoiled moose quarter.

I have Underwood 10mm 155gr Gold Dots loaded in mine. But I picked it based on the 10mm Energy List, not based on any real-world experience of mine.

Depends on what I'm carrying for. Defensive? I go with some old skool Tridon 165gr, only because my Grock likes them the best. Hunting or possibility of big cats or small bears? I've got some Ted Nugent (DoubleTap) 180gr. In my area, I don't need anything heavier.

Underwood looks exactly like the Georgia Arms. My own load using PP looks just like the other 180 GDHP grenades. |

Something from Underwood, I use my G40 as a woods gun, so I have Underwood 180gr XTP's.
Just to make it easy I would likely use the same for HD, but some of the 155gr loads could be awesome two legged stoppers. |

If you reload then you can load .40 s&w rounds in 10mm just before the fragmentation threshold.
That way you get max expansion but not the fragmentation. |

My favorite load is the 200 grain Hornady eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) bullets which are designed for deep terminal penetration, great accuracy and controlled expansion traveling at 1400 feet per second.
Totally devastating! Look at the entry wounds in this redneck ballistic gelatin at 25 yards:<img src=" (ETA, this is actually a .40 Super load. Still a 10mm bullet, but 25% more energy).  Attached File |

I'm currently using 180 SIG V crowns in my Glock 20, I'm just about out of them so my spare mags are loaded with handloaded 180 gold dots at about 1200fps. I like Winchester Silvertips as well but it seems like they are always out of stock whenever I am looking for some.

I went this route because I have always lusted after the mighty 10mm round, but I have enough Glocks, and didn't really want to buy another complete gun anyway. Also, 10mm is kinda long, and I have medium sized hands so most of the 10mm's I've handled felt a little too big around the grip. So, for the price of a conversion barrel, I have a gun that is actually a little more powerfull than 10mm. It's a win-win! I never was that interested in 400 corbon since it's a little weaker than 10mm. |

For years I kept my Glock 20 loaded with Cor-Bon 135gr
About a year or more ago my neighbor's lab was attacked by three pitbulls while I was out planting bushes. Two neighbor ladies came out and tried to separate the dogs when the Alpha pitbull released the lab and attacked her taking her to the ground. I was already heading over with the shovel I was using but when I saw the dog go for the woman I ran inside and grabbed the G20 Once I arrived the Alpha had released the woman and was back on the lab. It had pushed the lab through their open front door and pinned it against a couch where it was on the dogs throat. I fired one round into the Alpha pit's heart killing it instantly. The round performed as designed and the dog dropped like it was hit by lightning. After the incident I decided it was likely time to swap out the 10 year old Cor-Bon ammo. I contacted Cor-Bon and described the incident in an email. They raved about the increased performance they were seeing from their DPX round over the 135gr Sierra bullet I used. I bought 4 boxes of their DPX 10mm load and shot a box up to insure reliability and accuracy in my gen3 G20. |
