Cheapest G20 w/ Hardcast & Optic

[treillw]

What's the cheapest way to get a Glock 20 that can safely shoot hardcast and is optics ready?

Thanks!

I have both a g20 and a g40 and they both shoot hardcast (buffalo bore) bullets with no problem. The barrels are factory. I did put a heavier recoil spring in both. I know that the g40 comes in the MOS version which has an optic ready slide. It will come with a set of plates that match to different red dot models. I believe that the g20 can be purchased in the MOS version as well.

Current cheapest route is going to be to buy a glock 40 MOS for around $700. You can probably shoot it stock with hard cast but you should test it.

glock 20 doesn’t come in MOs so you would have to buy one -$600- and have it milled -$150-200- to fit an optic.

you may want to look into traditionally rifled barrels (KKM for $165) and upon the poundage on the recoil spring if you are going to shoot a lot of relatively heavy lead bullets.

I've put a lot of hardcast through a g21 G3 and a G17 gen 5. From what I can tell and the research that I did, Hardcast isn't a problem with factory barrels. The issue lies with softer cast lead handloads. Buffalo bore has written a couple statements that are in agreement. https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=59

If you do a stock glock and want to feed it hardcast, that's not going to hurt it or you....but if you hot rod it, you'll want the kkm barrel. I can get 200 more fps from my kkm before the brass gets any sign of trouble. On my stock barrel a 200 approaching 1100 looks like the brass is going to blow a bubble. It will not pass through the buldge buster 100% of the time.

The buffalo bore penetrator(maybe the outdoorsman, forget what they call it) is a flat nose fmj they make for a hardcast like bullet for stock glocks

My G20 shoots hardcast in factory form with no issues. Light/Laser underbarrel mounted with sites that glow in the dark is a must. Bears are mainly nocturnal where I hunt.

No reason to put a heavier recoil spring in, its not like yo are going to shoot hundreds and hundreds of rounds of your hardcast ammo.

1- Go to Washington
