I've noted in what little research I've done that several people handgun hunting deer and hogs with a GLOCK 20 (factory I think is 4.6" bbl.) seem to have an aftermarket 5" or 6" stainless barrel. Aparently some states have a min. barrel length requirement for handguns you hunt with...is this mostly why people have done that? Or is it for maximizing ballistics or usuing handloads with a fully supported chember/cast bullets/more accurate fitted barrels ect ect?
I'm just currious...it doesn't net you an increased sight radius as in a larger longer barreled revolver...so I'm curious what's behind that trend. for 10-60 yards on whitetail if you lived where there was no requirment on bbl. length would you leave a G20 stock length and if so would you still upgrade the barrel so you could shoot heavy cast loads of just stay stock and shoot jacketed 180gr HP?
