Anyone suppressing a Glock 20 10mm?

I would like details on the setups you are using? Can mfgr., barrel mfgr., etc.
Any feedback would be helpful and appreciated.

Thought about it but have not done it yet. 10mm offers a wide range of performance, so you get some good loads.

I would use a 6 inch Glock hunting barrel.

I have an Evo-40 on my Glock 20.

I only shot it once. It cycled, etc. With lower power ammo it should sound like a .40. AAC has never tested it with full power 10mm and would not want to warranty it.

Same here. Jarvis 14.5x1mm LH thread barrel. I've shot everything from handloaded 180gr at 950fps up to Corbin 200gr at 1125 fps with no problems. Everything cycles ok so far.

It likes the Blazer 200gr at 1050fps a lot, quiet and very mild recoil/blow back. Haven't tried any super hot stuff yet but I'm confident the can is up to it. AAC over engineers all their cans and makes em like the proverbial brick s--t house. I've yet to destroy one and it's not for lack of effort.

I've done 5 back to back full auto 100rd Beta-Mag dumps on a 14" Aug/416-SD combo with the gas selector set on dirty by mistake. Pounded the top third of the butt pad out to a 45 degree angle before my shoulder started telling me there was a problem

. Can took it all in stride and now has approx 18k rounds through it on all kinds of platforms with no problems.

I've never concerned myself with warranties so not a factor for me. If I blow something/myself up it's going to be my own damn fault for pushing the envelope a little too far. I wouldn't expect any manufacturer to honor their warranty on a can I've intentionally abused.

BTW Robert, who threaded the Ma Deuce barrel for the Cyclops in the Shot Show pic? I'd like to run my incoming Cyclops on one of my M2HB's in single shot mode in addition to my Tac-50. I have lots of spare barrels so cutting one back and threading not a big deal, just need to know thread specs & who does the work. Thanks.

I was thinking about buying Glock 20. This is starting to give me ideas. It would probably take about 6 months to get a barrel from Jarvis though.

Why not just get a Glok 6" barrel and have it threaded. Probably cheaper than a Jarvis and available right now.

bigash636 · Post by **bigash636** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:59 am

It seems like it would stick out a little far...don't ya think?

Cutting the barrel back a bit is a snap to do while threading.

What do you mean by full power? 185gr? 200gr?

He means supersonic rounds.

bigash636 · Post by **bigash636** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:48 am

Next question....I think I have found a good deal on a 20C. If I use a regular barrel w/ the ported slide and a suppressor is this going to have any ill effects?

Davo5o · Post by **Davo5o** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 11:29 am

No problemo!! I use a G19C with LWD barrel when shooting suppressed and it is not a problem. Then when shooting unsuppressed it's got almost no recoil. Personally I like the combo.

A supersonic 10mm round could actually be less powerful than 9mm.

To me, when someone says full-power 10mm, I think of the original Norma Spec of around 200 gr at 1200 fps, or 170 gr at 1400 fps.

Same here.

Alot of companies putting out 10mm ammo load it way down. Down to .40SW levels or even below.

I agree, I was just trying to keep it simple.

I have a G20 with a 10mm barrel by kkm and a 40cal barrel by jarvis and the 6" glock barrel threaded and cut down. The 40 is much quiter than the 10. however both 10mm barrels will shoot tighter groups at 50". I have 800-900 10mm / 400-500 40.cal through my AAC EVO-40 no problems to date. GREAT can and I would recomend them to any body who asked;)

bigash636 · Post by **bigash636** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 6:41 pm

I guess the only decision to make now is if I really want the G20c. I think it would be different to have a ported gun. I have read all of the pros and cons of the compensated models. I guess if I ever want to use it for defense I can just use the threaded barrel.

smcharchan · Post by **smcharchan** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 9:31 pm

I have a Glock 20C. I had EFK thread a barrel for me and shoot an EVO 45 on it. I have a 21lb spring that I use since I normally shoot hot Double Tap rounds. Cycles every time, even with the mild CCI blazer ammo, so the booster must work very well. The can blocks my sights, but I have a laser light, so I just put the red dot on target and let 'er fly. Firing it wet makes a mess of my gun, but doing so makes it nice and quiet.

I also have a ported 6 inch EFK barrel for hunting. The gun is very talorable for my needs: 4.5 inch factory ported barrel and full power rounds pack a controllable punch, threaded non-ported barrel for suppressed fire, a 6 inch barrel for hunting and 40S&W barrel for cheaper shooting. Now all I need is a lone wolf Glock 21 slide and a threaded 45 barrel and I a 22 conversion kit and I'll have the ultimate setup!

Short answer: I wanted to buy an EVO 45 rather than 40 because I wanted to be able to shoot 45 through it also. It is pretty loud when shot dry, but plenty quiet when shot wet. -S

Are any 10mm loads considered subsonic?

Davo5o · Post by **Davo5o** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 12:19 am

Yes I have a couple of old 180gr Rem boxes that are labeled SUBSONIC in 10mm.

Yes, CCI Blazers are subsonic and cheap for target shooting. Hornady also makes this load:

10MM Auto, 200 gr. JHP/XTP
Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs)
Muzzle ------- 50 yd ------- 100 yd
1050/490 --- 994/439 --- 948/399

Both remain subsonic when I shoot them.

ok well i ordered by G20 today. i guess i'm going to go w/ the 6" barrel and get it threaded.

Brutaldiver · Post by **Brutaldiver** » Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:29 am

Certainly keep us (or at least me!) posted on how it goes....
My next mission is to go and order up a threaded bbl in .40 & 10mm for my Colt 1911.... Hard choices in deciding whether to buy another can or sink the money into more bbls...
At least being on a retired LEO income & at $250 a pop it is...
