Bear defense round for 10mm?

Daniel_M do the 230 grain DT's stabilize for you with a stock bbl. Hickok45 has a youtube video shoting keyholing at pretty close range and then with the 200 grain it wasn't an issue.

I've never had an issue in stock form but I don't shoot it a lot due to ammo availability. I believe DT runs a solid powder charge to get the velocity where it needs to be to deter tumbling. I'm confident in what I can do with it, though.

Once Lone Wolf gets a better hold on their stock I'd like to upgrade to a Long Slide and SS guide rod.

Have any of you folks replaced your stock clips. I am usually a Wilson Combat fan and plan to replace min 10mm clips. So little emphasis gets placed on an upgraded clip....

 

[Daniel_M]

I'd say a better spring would go a long way rather than replacing the entire clip.

It kind of goes hand in hand but that is the idea as well as a refined clip.

 

[Daniel_M]

Roger that. I have about 10 clips, some were new, couple I got a smokin deal on used.

Never had an issue feeding even the bigger pills.

HSM(hunt shack) is made by Bitterroot Valley I think. BitterrootBulls may know more on that one. I shoot the 230gr DT, but since they are so pricey, I bought two boxes, shot a clip and decided to only use it when I'm out hiking after that.

I would suggest the upgrade of the barrel as I've heard that Glocks and lead bullets don't like each other. That being said, the hardcast lead is a harder lead. Mike, the owner of Double tap is a glock guy. When I've called in the past, he's the one to answer the phone, so you might give him a call and ask about the barrel.

Tis true that Glock barrels will lead up (find me a barrel that wont) but with the DT ammo it's a lesser issue because of the gas check. I've read that the LWD barrels are more forgiving in that department, but I have no first hand experience.

I just purchased a g20 g4 10mm. picked up some 200gn HPR and some 180 grn BB. Going to range in next few days for some work. I am trying to find the underwood 200grn but its always out of stock, any suggestions. I concealed my g30 45, but am thinking i may switch in winter to the g20. I'm in Arizona and will carry the g20 for 2 and 4 legged critters.

I will tell you the Underwood 200 XTP is really hot stuff. I have split some brass shooting it. I find I am more accurate with Double Tap 200 grain noslers and I like the Nosler bullet more than the XTP. In Arizona I would think a good solid 180/200 grain bullet that you can shoot well would do.
