Testing Your Glock Knowledge

I have a Glock 20 and a KKM .40 S&W conversion barrel for it. KKM also makes a .357 Sig conversion barrel for the G20. They also make 6" barrels for the G20 in 10mm, .40 and .357 all for about $165 each. The G20 with the .40 KKM is extremely accurate and works all the time. I am very happy with my KKM. I have put about 2000 rounds of .40 through it since once fired brass for it is easy to come by (I reload). The 10mm magazines work fine for .40 and I am told they also work for .357. I have made loads from 230 ft-lb to 700 ft-lb and they have all worked fine in the G20 with the factory 17 lb recoil spring. It takes almost 15 seconds to change barrels on the G20. Just be sure you have the right cartridges in the mag.

About 3 months ago I was debating the 40/357sig question. The 357 sig has a higher operating pressure than the 40s.w.I bought a Glock 32 and figured I could get a 40 barrel later on.If you sell the gun chances are extra barrels and other accessories will go with it. After shooting the 357 sig, about a 1000 rounds, I have no desire to buy another barrel. Handloading really drops the ammo price and adds versatility to this caliber. If you can reload bottleneck rifle cartridges than you can reload the 357sig.

I got a 23 and a 20 and have 357 sig barrells for both. Both are drop in barrells and both mags will hold 357 sig. I do not carry with the 357 sig barell for defense, those barrells are just for fun.

IMO, I'd go w/ the 40 cal 1st & the 357 sig barrel later

+1

I would personally get the glock 23 and then get the .357 sig barrel
