My thoughts exactly. G29 if only could have one. Luckily I can have moreI have a G20, G21, and a G29. If forced to only keep one it would be the G29, the 1st one I'd let go would be the
G21 in 45.

Hits on target.
Nothing wrong with 230 gr. 45 HST or Golden Saber 185 +P - I've got both.
You think those 45 bullets stop an attacker quicker than a 180 Gold Dot at about 1,230 fps?
The Glock 20 I've shot was snappy to the point I had trouble controlling it. It just flat-out hurt to shoot in that light gun.
Give me the 45 all day.
I had a G20, never really liked it, but I love 10mm. I'll do the comparison, but with my 1911's, 7+1 for the .45 (Springfield), and 8+1 for the 10mm (Ruger). I'll carry a spare magazine for each, and I'll shoot my own reloads: .45's are 185 XTP's @ 1000fps, the 10mm is 155 XTP's @ 1450fps.In this thread you have a Glock 20SF and a Glock 21 SF.
20SF is 16 rounds of 10mm total capacity
21SF is 14 rounds of 45 acp total capacity
You can carry a spare mag with either pistol.
You already have lots of your favorite SD ammo for both, so ammo cost nor availability is a factor.
You shoot the two pistols equally well.
Which pistol would you prefer for SD against humans?
Replies that it makes no difference, 9mm, Glock 19, those pistols are not concealable, (off topic) are a waste of keyboard and internet.
Yes, I do have both, so the choice is real.
I have never had that trouble either and I have medium sized hands. I could shoot a G20 for hours if didn’t want to spend so much.The Glock 20 I've shot was snappy to the point I had trouble controlling it. It just flat-out hurt to shoot in that light gun.

.45. Hands down. Cost & availability.
That’s only one dimension. How long does it take to get each hit?
Whichever one you shoot better.
It is, and I agree on the capacity.I think 10 is a very flexible cartridge and I won't say no to the extra capacity.
Spot on.It is, and I agree on the capacity.
Higher velocity means greater effective range and flatter trajectory also.
With the great bullets available today that expand so nicely, I feel that the gain of permanent wound cavity diameter between 10mm and 45 acp to be minimal enough that the 10mm offers greater advantage in every way.
If I was forced for some bizarre reason to give up one cartridge or the other from my lineup, I would keep the 10mm without question or hesitation. I'd be mighty sad to see my Dan Wesson go, but if I'm talking pure ballistics and non-ballistic advantages and disadvantages, the 10mm wins in every way.
My Dad had both, but carried a G19. He carried the G20 hunting. I think he mostly got the G21 because he had a metric crap ton of .45ACP, and had no 1911 at the time. I did carry my G21 for a short time, but my usually carry was and is a PT145. I've never owned a 10mm, and if I did, it'd be a Delta Elite.
