Cheapshooter, the only thing my Glock 29 eats is my handloads.

It definitely DOES matter if it's a newer build Glock, as Glock has improved the case support quite a bit over time but it has NEVER been squarely by generation, as far as I know. If your G20 is 10 years old, seriously consider spending ~$150 and purchasing an aftermarket barrel. If your G20 is more recent, I wouldn't worry a bit about it and start rolling some handloads.

While I have done some "testing" with cast lead 200 grain slugs, the bulk of my 10mm shooting has been with proper jacketed 180 grain bullets.

My G29 was built in 2008 and it does NOT smiley my brass and I don't run my brass through any special "bulge busting" type die, just a normal Lee carbide size die.

If you seek more tips or hints specific to my 10mm handloading, feel free to send me a PM.
